Do I need to install the drivers for the nexus player to sideload apps from my PC ?
If so, where are the drivers located ?
I have downloaded the latest SDK toolkit
Thanks
Sent from my Nexus 10 using XDA Premium HD app
When I installed it the drivers were included. Don't forget you have to enable developer mode and then enable usb debugging to enable the ADB interface. That will show up as a different device in device manager (assuming you're on windows)
Sent from my Nexus 5
Is there a tutorial anywhere that shows exactly how to install the drivers and sideload apps for the Nexus player?
From the USB Driver thread:
DevinWatson said:
I got it up and running by:
Selecting update driver
Browse my computer for driver software
Selecting let me pick from a list of device drivers on my computer
Selecting show all devices
Clicking have disk
Finally selecting \android-sdk\extras\google\usb_driver\android_winusb.inf as the driver
Hope this helps anyone else who comes across this issue.

And once you've got the drivers, I think you can use the Sideload Wonder Machine to sideload things, if you don't like using the command line.
I was sideloading everything with the OTG usb cable but then I installed ES File Explorer https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.estrongs.android.pop&hl=en and I've been using the Remote FTP server feature on there to just send stuff over without having to connect it to a computer. I think you can use the play store website to do a remote install over to the Nexus Player with ES File Explorer and then just get the APK for whatever you're trying to load and FTP it over. You can then use ES File Explorer to find that file you just sent over and install it. You will need the 'install from unknown sources' feature on still in the dev options but it does make it easier.
So how, exactly, would one side-load the Amazon Instant Video app? I would be happy to lose our aging Google TV but the Nexus Player doesn't support Amazon... does anyone here have a link to the Amazon apk? Thanks!
As far as I know Amazon Prime streaming won't work until Amazon gives their blessing and releases and app for the Android TV platform. There is an app for for phones and tablets available through the regular Amazon store app but there are some hoops you have to go through to get it working which includes sideloading their 'player' app or whatever, it's not a good solution at all and I doubt it'd be easy to use on the Nexus Player even if it launched.
With Amazon releasing their own set top boxes and HDMI sticks I wouldn't be surprised if we don't see a Prime streaming app on android for a long while, if ever. Our best chance at getting it on the Nexus Player would be if someone figures out a way to pull the native Fire TV app off that device and getting it working on stock android and some how keep Amazon from blocking it as they are actively shutting down apps that can stream Prime: http://www.androidpolice.com/2014/1...d-removed-from-the-play-store-after-36-hours/
This sucks as I'd love to see all that content since I pay for Prime, I doubt I'll be renewing that next year though for this reason.
I sideloaded the instant video and amazon apps from my phone and both installed. I had issues when I attempted to watch a prime video however. Otherwise both apps worked fine.

I think you might be out of date a little. The Amazon store app now allows you to stream Prime video on most Android devices. No additional hacks or sideloading required.

Easy way to sideload is goto the playstore in the browser of your pc. Install esfile explorer to the nexus player. The app will not show up on the main page but will be in the setiings/apps. Make sure you have selected unknown sources enabled on the nexus player. Share a folder on your home network from your pc. Place the apk you want to install in that folder. Open esfile manager and goto the lan tab. You shoukd see your folder you shared on your pc. Apk installs no problem. My question is how do you get the installed apps to show up on your nexus player home screen?

BubbleUPnP can as long as you have media sharing setup through WMP. Personally, I would setup something like Subsonic (http://www.subsonic.org) or Serviio (http://www.serviio.org/) as they both offer transcoding of media (both audio and video).
My current setup at home with both Subsonic for audio/video over the web and Serviio locally for in the house is running on a small Dell Optiplex 755 desktop running Windows Server 2008. It works flawlessly and I can stream audio and video anywhere that I am on pretty much any device.
Seriously, this is the Development section... it might have been a mistake but honestly from the first day I joined XDA I knew that Development was for releases. It's simple stuff, really. Questions go in general.

I have a super-*****in' awesome solution for you. How awesome depends on what you want and your setup.
If your phone and computer are both networked already via wireless router, etc:
Not so awesome, but still cool:
1. Get Allshare, this is a Samsung app that is on our phones, although it is removed on some ROMs.
2. Setup Windows Media player to share your content.
3. Watch stuff with default media player via Allshare.
Awesomest:
1. Get ES File Explorer or other networked file manager.
2. Create share on computer and add the share in ES File Explorer
3. Watch stuff with default media player via ES File Explorer.
Awesomest:
NOTE: You will need CIFS enabled kernel, like Imoseyon's kernel.
1. Aquire CIFS kernel modules (can't remember where, but the ones for Froyo work on GB.) I save these to a folder on the SD card.
2. Enable CIFS in Terminal Emulator with "su" and "enable cifs" commands
3. Install Busybox 18.2
4. Install CIFS Manager
5.. In CIFS Manager, load the previously download kernel modules with insmod
6. In CIFS Manager, create a mounted share to your computer share folder.
7. Mount Share.
8. Play your shared videos with your favorite player by browsing to a folder on your SD card!
You will likely need to reboot at various points of this process. If done correctly, you will then have a folder on your SD card that displays all the contents of the network share. Any video play that can browse folders will see your shared files inside of a folder on your SD card.
If you are serious about doing this, I can post a more in-depth guide to help. I personally find this to be essential, and extremely badass.
One thing that you should know is that many video files will not play properly on this phone unless you use Soft-decoding. I recommend Moboplayer which has a Soft-decoding feature if you long press a file. In this way you will be better able to play a wider range of files. NOTE that you have to be able to see the file in the program by browsing to the folder. Moboplayer cannot browse network shares. It will only browse local files. THUS, you have to enable CIFS if you want to use Soft-decoding because then the files will be mounted to you SD card so that Moboplayer can actually see the folder.
Lastly, there are other ways to mount CIFS shares and other ways to soft-decode files. I personally feel that this is the best way, since I can mount the shares to my liking via CIFS Manager, instead of having to modify the init.d and whatnot. THEN I can use Titanium Backup to save all my CIFS mounts, and don't have to fiddle-screw around for hours trying to set up all my shares every time I load my phone.
*EDIT* This is assuming you already have a network in which your phone and computer are installed on. There are ways of directly linking a laptop wifi, for example, to your phone and you can still mount the CIFS shares over an infrastructure wifi access point that you configure your laptop for. You can still connect your laptop to a wifi access point and get internet, as well as internet for the phone through the laptop (all the while sharing files from your laptop directly to your phone.) If this sounds cool to you, let me know.
I did Option #2 with ES File Explorer.. but it will NOT stream my .avi movies... it first has to download the entire 630mb movie file locally to the phone.. then it plays...
I just don't get why it's such a pain in the ass to get streaming video from a Windows networked share to STREAM to an Android device??? I mean this is basic functionality.. why is it such a process to do it with Android?
I also have a Viewsonic g-tablet.. that is the main device I want to STREAM my Windows 7 networked movies onto... and I have the same problems on the G-tablet running Android 2.3.5. It's just a real PITA to get this to work... I give up!
time to revert back to using my Windows 7 laptop and ditch this crappy Android tablet.

thank you...
how do I install the .APK file onto my android phone?
running ZumoCast right now... great stuff.. thank you very much!
I'm wondering however... if I am inside my LAN at home.. .meaning my android phone is connected to my local wifi router.. AND my windows 7 pc is also connected to the local wifi router... what speeds will Zumocast use? does it transmit all the data content right through my local wifi connection withOUT going through the Zumocast servers at all?
how about if I am away from home on my Android phone?
Zumocast made me make an free account and the Android app needs that account to login to see all your data.. so I'm not sure if all the data that I stream is actually first going from my Windows 7 pc... through the internet through the Zumocast servers... then back down to my Android phone?

I use ps3 media server on my PC and UPnPlay app on my phone.
The reason I use PS3 media server is I have a PS3 and stream my library of ripped dvds to the TV that way.
So I tried to get samsung allshare app to run with media player. I couldn't get it to work.
So I tried UPnPlay app. It doesn't have a media player with it which I like. I just use Moboplayer which supports just about anything I can throw at it. And it works flawlessly.
This should work right out of the box since PSM has matured to more than a server to the PS3. It has a default android .conf (configuration file). But I edited one and created a pretty good one for the charge. If anyone wants to try it out I'll gladly post the info.

Yep, that is one of the annoying things I should have mentioned. Allshare won't require that you download files first, but Allshare is kindof annoying to use. There are other DLNA apps on the Market that should work better though.
In any case, I quit messing around and I just use CIFS. Plus, I can VPN into my home network if I am on the go. With CIFS, all my files show up in my SD card folders no matter where I am. I can't think of a more elegant solution. Its just like mapping a network drive in Windows. If you want some help getting set up, either post on this thread or PM me, I can offer more details. This is great as well considering you can share any file, documents, music, videos, etc and any app can see it on your SD card.

I was just going to recommend that! It streams all media, not just videos. It used to be over wifi only, but i think a later update added the ability to stream from a website. It works well and all you need is to run a program on your computer at all times.

I've installed Google Music on my D2G running Galnet MIUI and I'm loving it.
I have another Android device, a supercheap WM8650 tablet running Uberoid. I want to turn it into a cloud player using Google Music so I can play my music on it without having to buy more high-capacity microSD cards.
So I installed Google Music on it (latest version - I'm not in the USA so I have to download the apk externally), and it promptly stopped working. I googled a bit, and it appears Google Music has trouble running on generic devices. I'm wondering if the reason for this is known, and if there are ways to fix this problem. I'd have no problems using one of the alternatives, but from what I'm seeing Google Music is the only one that doesn't have ridiculously restrictive storage - I have 15 gigs worth of ogg files, so stuff like Droptunes is useless to me.
You could try browsing to music.google.com from a browser that supports user agent spoofing, like dolphin HD, and set it to a Desktop user agent?
I know that's kind of a crappy workaround, but I'm not sure about why GM wouldn't work well on generic android devices...

Sounds fine in principle, but doesn't work so well on my tablet - it's very slow, and it takes a long time for the site just to load the list, let alone launch the player. I really need a native app.
The only alternative I've found so far is Audiogalaxy (a name I remember fondly from the early days of peer-to-peer... *sigh* ), but that isn't a cloud storage player, just a streaming player. In other words, if I want to have my library permanently available I need to have a computer with significant storage always on and connected, acting as a file server. A Windows computer, so I can't use any old diskless laptop with a USB thumbdrive. And if my connection or power goes down I can kiss my files goodbye. And the server wastes power.
This will do as an emergency measure, but I really need someplace to put my files. Is there a music player that will work from normal ftp storage? I have a website, I could easily upload my music to the space I use for it.
Bumpty bump.

That sounds very interesting! Please let me know how that turns out. Does it boot to text console or xwindows?
Is it based on a distro(Debian,Ubuntu,etc) or is it a custom buildroot image?
This sounds pretty cool I have a Roku box that I stream video off the web. I works great but if an android style player were to come out and be stable I might be pursuaded to switch. Also just letting you know that XBMC does have some pretty buggy plugins for it e.g. Hulu doesn't work for all videos in it. I know this from using it on my computer before I got my Roku. If a new interest was sparked these issues could disappear with official plugins from the video providers themselves.

This Jynxbox Android HD firmware has bugs in it that keep me from replacing my old Xbox with it full time. Its more a toy at the moment for me. Source codes would make it easier to track down and fix problems in it. (Anyone have em?)
That Linux image posted above is looking interesting. The boot splash says "XIOS DS media center" and it boots straight into XBMC for linux. (12.0-rc3 git:20130103-2318127) the jynxbox wireless internet works with this image, and the wireless remote works once you enable mouse support. USB keyboards work as well.
It connects to my samba server and plays all the videos I could try. (The jynxbox xbmc could not access my samba server and updated xbmc apks couldn't play my video files) so far its looking great.
Thanks phati for the heads up on that image. Where did you find it? Is there a public forum related to its development?
hey guys,
the description of the product (http://jynxbox.me/Product.aspx) says it has adobe flash 10.x on board.
will this allow me to stream all kind of content which is displayed in a flash player within the android browser?
www.my-entertainment.biz (hd free streams) e.g.? would somebody be so kind to test that. would be awesome!
thanks so far!

Edit:// Is this thing shipped from China? How long did it take til you get yours guys?
I received mine sent to me from a great guy named Cody who operates http://www.boxtoptheater.com. It was shipped to me from Canada and arrived in roughly a week after stock was replenished. So far I absolutely love the device and hope that custom roms might find their way to it, besides simple updates to XBMC that it operates for the media center aspects. Since the box comes pre-rooted, it should not be too problematic I imagine. Sounds to me that several set top units use the same board chip also. Everything seems to run well except games that only run in portrait mode for obvious reasons.
Once I receive my portable hard drive for it, and have the dvr functionality running, I'll post some videos on line for others.

When you run upgrade->local update, it will not list below files on Jynxbox Android HD box automatically, please press menu button on remote controls 8 times for it to show up.
I haven't tested it on the mini yet. But I assume it will works because both devices are the same build.
This is for Hulu Plus the Landscape version: LandscapeModHuluPlus.apk
XBMC
Guys, where can I get fully working XBMC version for this box?
Hey,
I just got an MK808 TV Stick and I it's a pretty neat slick device. Like how small it is, and seems to be pretty fast (but, will probably flash some custom ROM on it soon).
Anyways, I want to use this as a replacement OS for my Smart TV and play Netflix/Hulu (have to root/market enabler to get this)/stream from my personal library, which is all shared on a raspberry pi PC via SMB. My Smart TV is DLNA compliant, but can't play all the different formats that I have accumulated over the years. My new stick TV PC, so far can handle it all.
Whats the best and easiest way to open files stored on SMB drives, and play them in a media play on my stick PC (right now, using VLC do to this). I say easy, in the sense that when my 6 year old kid wants to watch one of his movies he doesn't have to mount a drive via ES file explorer and choose what file from a list of directories like I am willing to do, but more of a "see the cover art, click and play" kind of way. I know XBMC would do most of this (if not all) but it only does software decoding, and I would like to have hardware.
Thanks in advance.
Ive got an ICUBE mk809II, i also have a NAS (nsa310) with my network share on. I use solid explorer and you can map to your network drive with that by adding an SMB share. Hopefully you have root. You can also then do a shortcut on the desktop by doing a solid explorer widget to that network share.
The second way i've used is to download a CIFS/SMB app, MountManager seemed the best, and you a can make a virtual link to your network share which is by default in your mnt folder. If you wanted to use your tv stick as a torrent box, you can map to the network share, and point Adownloader to the virtual link in the mount folder and it will get to your share. Its then easy to bookmark to your SMB/network share by doing a widget in Solid Explorer on your desktop. So with one click from the desktop, your there, I mainly use MX Player over VLC player as VLC was having audio sync problems.

Try MIZUU BETA .
Tried MX Player?
Did, played some of my content, but not all of it. VLC so far is working ok.
Anyone have any idea how to install Finless rom with this? Can't seem to find much information on how to flash it, just what its features are.

Wow zmaki, that was the perfect choice! App works great for streaming from my SMB shares and shows the cotent like XBMC, except with decent rendering!
I have to admit though, I wish the program had its own built in media player with codec support, that would make it the cats ass.
PLEX works awesome, no problems with any streaming and it looks great.
colhavoc, welcome from hfx...
Hi,
The question here is the same issue I have wirh my new android miniPC to let my children (and even my self) an easy access to files stored on my PC.
My device is not rooted (not I'm goind to do so).
The device is conected over the same LAN (wi-fi is disabled).
I saw codlike two solutions ("solid explorer" or MountManager) but both need root, is there another solution?

Hello all,
I think the title says it all. I have an old device that I would like to hook up to an extra tv for the sole purpose of using it for Plex. The kicker of it all is, I do not find the Plex Moble/Tablet interface to work all that well with a remote. Is it possible to enable or somehow trick Plex into thinking that this device is something like a Nexus Player, or some sort of other trick to force it into that interface?
That would be great!
i second that ! ... is there ? or maybe its an options on a certain version ?

Oh, hey. I actually know how to do this. Er - you need to put the attached file into system/etc/permissions. This should trick the Plex app into running into leanback mode.
Okay, one of those two files will do the trick. I forget which, but it's one of those.
What versions of android does this support?
I just had a look at the Raspberry Pi Android TV build, and this was the only file I could find in /etc/permissions that had anything to do with Android TV.
The build I ripped it from was Android 6.0.1
I have also included the LeanbackLauncher.

Plex actually has it as option in the settings.
settings -> General -> Application Layout
The choices are "mobile" or 'TV"
But does anyone know how to do change it so that "all" apps think they are on a TV box?
Arggh , more reading less thinking next time.
It looks like the xml file you attached might do the trick.
I will try it out for some of my other problematic apps.
Thanks
i have the inphic i5 running 4.4.2 I dropped both files but Netflix still thinks it is on a phone.
Any suggestions?
If you're okay with spending a couple dollars
Buy the app "App Cloner" in the Play Store
Then download plex and choose it in the App Cloner app
Go down the options and enable "Enable TV Version"
This should work if you install it on your device
