We all know the Nexus Player has a Chrome browser integrated in its firmware as it is used for some settings, google cast support, etc. However, it seems the browser can be somewhat user accessed and has a bit more capabilities than I expected, such as a desktop mode, mostly baked remote control support, ability to directly access web, image, map, etc search and so on. The interface for the browser seems close to having full remote control support. Amyone can sideload the actual Chrome from the Play store, however that one doesn't have a leanback interface like the built in one yet.
Here's how to find it:
Select settings at the bottom of the main menu
Select "About" from the first row
Scroll down and select "Ads"
Scroll down and select "Ads by Google"
Scroll down to "Ads Settings" link and select it
Scroll down to the bottom of the page and select "Desktop View"
Now you can select from the top bar with your remote any of the quick links for Google services, such as "Search". Once you do so, you're brought to the standard Google search page... clicking in the search field brings up the standard software keyboard (or use your sync'd phone, otg keyboard, etc). The results are displayed in normal "Mobile" view as on a phone, but you can scroll to the bottom of that page and choose to view the results in "Classic" desktop mode which is preferable.
Once you visit a site you can scroll through it with your remote as well, however navigating and clicking links seems to be hit or miss depending on the site. Also, hitting "back" currently takes you back to the settings menu instead of the previous page. I'm sure there are other quirks as well.
The point of this is: it'd seem to be trivial for an enterprising developer to wrap the existing functionality in an app and expose this near complete built-in remote ready chrome browser for easy leanback web browsing on the NP. Or, of course, the obvious route of Google exposing this web browser to leanback itself. Interesting.
This is cool to know. Love or hate the old google tv boxes (the ones with honeycomb) that is one feature they had done really well was they had a really awesome version of chrome browser that was very similar to the pc version out at the time. Still one that is made to work with the NP is good too.
I was able to install Chrome Beta from the Play store, and after getting past the "I Agree" screen it works perfectly. I'm using a BlueTooth KB/Mouse.
I'm using ChainFire's Launcher to start it, as the Icon doesn't populate on the home screen.
Tried this but can't get beyond "Ads by Google". When I select this I get a black bar down the center of the screen (1/3 the screen) and it flashes some information but then goes back to black.

Same happens with me. I read in another post Chrome will work (non-beta) but launched through the Chainfire sideload launcher. Also read Nova launcher works. Will test this weekend and update.
Strange. I still have no problem getting in to the built-in browser doing what I wrote above as long as Chrome from the play store isn't installed. If you instal Chrome from the play store, it supplants the built-in browser and the procedure above doesn't work anymore.
I also have Chrome from the play store installed... it works ok, but not as well as the (near hidden so useless) built in browser when it comes to the remote control support - with keyboard and mouse Chrome from the play store works perfect. I also don't like the Chrome from the play store defaults to its "mobile" UI in search, etc.
Hopefully Google will surface the built-in soon and provide an easy link in the main leanback interface.
I thought I got rid of the Chrome browser I had downloaded as a test but I hadn't. Once I did, the built-in now works except it does not fit the screen correctly (menu items at top only display half).

Your TV is probably not in "just fit" kind of mode... it's probably over scanning or set to 16:9, etc. If you can change the aspect ratio through your TV settings that'll probably fix the issue. Most media content is designed for overscanning so won't be an issue, but things like web browsers, PC screens, etc are not.
I was able to get the built in chrome by just installing google search from the playstore..

If any of you have used the infinity default keyboard then you know that it has built in "swipe" functionality. Last night my keyboards swipe functionality quit working in most situations. For example I can no longer use the Swipe function in the search on the home screen, in the web browsers url bar, and in most built in apps.
However I can use the swipe function on the google search web page if I had already typed something into the box... for example I cant swipe if the box is blank, but if I already typed something into it prior I can swipe text into it.
Has anyone else noticed this and is there a fix?

Here's something I stumbled on that I haven't seen mentioned... Found it very helpful.....
Problem: On my Samsung HDTV set, I found that many apps (particularly Chrome) were getting key parts of their screens cut off by overscan. But I couldn't find a way to set the overscan on my HDTV or in the Nexus Player.
Solution: While I was playing around with Nova Launcher on the Nexus Player, I found a way to launch something called "Overscan Calibrator" which fixed the issue!
Here's how I did it:
(1) Install Sideload Launcher (so you can launch Nova Launcher)
(2) Sideload Nova Launcher
(3) Use Sideload Launcher to launch Nova Launcher
(4) In Nova Launcher, long click on the screen to bring up the "Add to Homescreen" menu
(5) Shortcuts -> Activities
(6) Scroll down to find "Overscan Calibrator"
(7) Click on it to open the selection and click on the revealed item to add it to the home screen
(8) Now launch "Overscan Calibrator" and adjust the screen so that then entire screen is visible
Then... your entire Chrome screen will be visible !
How exactly do I long press on the home screen? I tried long pressing the select button on the remote but that didn't help

You'll have to get an OTG cable and hook up a mouse. Just about any wired mouse works, and many wireless do too. I use the Logitech K400 keyboard/touch pad combo unit.
On my Samsung TV, I just switched the picture size to best fit and the picture being cut off is longer an issue.
This is fantastic. Wonder if we could extract the calibrator out somehow.

Older TVs don't have this option. I'm in the same boat with my Samsung. There's no best fit or just fit option. Sounds like they added it to my TV's updates model in 2007. It's been driving me nuts.
How I did it!
I currently don't have an otg cable or a compatible bt mouse but I was able to get the same result.
I sideloaded nova launcher and airdroid and use the desktop client of airdroid to mirror it to the computer.
first I navigated in airdroid to login with the nexus remote. Maneuvering is kind of wonky but you should be able to login with username and password. I couldn't login using google+.
After logging in on the nexus player, I logged into airdroid on my desktop and Mirroring worked! but it looks bad lol but you can still tell what you are doing which is the important part.
Use the nexus remote to open sideload launcher and open nova launcher.
Then on the mirror you can right click with the PC mouse!
Then follow the rest of OP instructions starting at #4
Note: I am using a Panasonic Plasma tv. I have options on the remote for different "Aspects" but no options that auto adjust like "best fit".
There are picture options that I was able to tweak but not for overscan.
If you go into Nova settings -> gestures and buttons -> home button -> shortcuts - activities -> scroll to overscan calibrator, then press once, then press and hold the center button on the remote you can launch the app. No mouse needed.
Alternatively, without needing to sideload anything, just type this into adb shell:
Code:
am start -n com.google.android.tungsten.overscan/.CalibratorActivity

You Sir, just made my night.
I tried the screen calibration, but now it messes up some of the emulators I have on the Nexus Player, and I can't restore things to normal.
Here's an apk I quickly slapped together to run the Overscan Calibrator.
Run it from Sideload Launcher.

Thanks for this or has been bugging me for ages. TV player seems to be the only app with text still hanging off the screen but it is only a few letters and I can live with that. Really should be a stock feature.
For some reason, it's not working for me. I've tried with the Nova Launcher, the overscan APK, and a few other ways. The app opens and has me calibrate, I "click to confirm", but the youtube videos and such are all overscanned still. I haven't had any issues ever with the main menu overscanning, or some of the games. Would it have to do with my TV model?
I'm not sure of the exact model, since I bought it from a thrift store and all of the stickers and numbers were scratched off, but it's a small 16' VIZIO tv.
Update: After doing it once more and checking some games apps, none of them are overdrawn anymore. The only thing that's still overdrawn is YouTube, or rather any videos in YouTube. The HUD is just fine, but the videos are a bit zoomed in, cutting off quite a bit of the experience.
I tried this Overscan app on my Nexus Player running full Android AOSP 6.0.1, but the app just says "Unable to start" when I try launching it from the app drawer. I also tried pulling the app from CM13, which is the default overscan app for CyanogenMOD13 fugu builds, but again it does not run. I tried manually installing it to System/app and /system/priv-app which is where it is located in Cyanogenmod, but it still refuses to run. If I install it and set permissions as a system app, it then tells me "Parse Error: There is a problem parsing the package". Nothing I do will get this to run.
However, it works perfectly if I install a ROM with it already part of the ROM, such as with CM12.1 or Pure Nexus ROM. Not sure how to get this to work. Any ideas?

Same issue as you. Love running AOSP, but that overnscan issue almost gives me a headache. I tried it in HAL browser, Nova, sideload... Every one says unable to run. Maybe in 6.0 it's controlled by a different portion of the OS...

What I found strange is that the Overscan Launcher.apk works great in AICP. However AICP is just not ready to be used as a daily ROM. The only ROM I have found that I like enough to keep is Pure Nexus (Which has Overscan Launcher built in), but I'm having issues figuring out how to get my VPN installed thus Netflix is still useless to me. By the time the NP gets a ROM that just works it will be too old to use altogether, lol.
Is there any way to reset the overscan settings?
I wasn't using Chrome on my N5 because I was always missing basic features in the android version. For me, a browser has to have a home button and a exit button. Chrome for android doesn't have any of those, at least that's what I was thinking until I recently got an update for chrome on my LG GPad. Suddenly, it was all there. A home button and a small x on the tabs menu to close the browser. Finally! I was excited and updated chrome on my N5 also but it still looked the same as always. I checked the settings but couldn't find any new options.
So to make a long story short: How the hell do I configure chrome on my N5 to get those features?? Check the screenshots, first is from my tablet, second from my N5. It's the same version of chrome so there must be a way.
Why on earth do you need a "home" button? Just set your new tab page to be whatever you want "Home" to be.
As for the "x" to close a tab, it's right in the tab list, which you get to by tapping the little box with a number "1" in it in your second screenshot. There is no list of tabs across the top of the screen like there is on the desktop / tablet version because it's a giant waste of real estate on a small screen.

That wouldn't be much of a problem, since it immediatly disappears as soon as you start scrolling.
But I think it's really interesting from a technical point of view. Why does Chrome look different on those devices? It's the same app, isn't it? Or do tablets get a different version from the same playstore link? Some browsers have own versions for tablets in playstore, but not Chrome.

It´s the same app you get on phone and tablet. The DPI triggers if it will show the tablet or phone version. You can change your device's whole dpi to let's say 240 (with WugFresh Nexus Root Toolkit for example, doesn't even need root for that), but then everything will be in 240 dpi, which may not be very helpful.
You could try to find an per-app-dpi module for Xposed, and then edit the resolution and dpi values just for chrome, to achieve the tablet-ui.
Thx a lot for this, milestone2mod!
So this morning I noticed that 8.0 is available for my device, single SIM XZ Premium. So I immediately upgraded.
After testing things out, I found out that there is no way to get notification dots and PiP to work.
As for the dots, the dot does appear on the App icon. However long pressing the icon doesn't bring up any notifications. I only get the standard delete and app info options. And for certain apps the quick launch functions, such as New Tab for Chrome etc. I can't get notification dots to work. I made sure I didn't disable it accidentally, as it took me a couple of hours to comprehend what the hell notification channels are, and what Notification dots are called in my language (hungarian).
But no, I have it enabled on a system level, and on an app by app level as well. For the apps I've tested. Messenger, Viber, some misc. apps I use. I've read that on Pixel phones, only the stock launcher supports the dots. Is it possible somehow the Xperia stock launcher didn't get support? Would be a major oversight, but I mean it is possible.
Also PiP doesn't work either. I checked, and it is enabled for all my apps that support it. Tried it with Netflix, Chrome playing full screen video, VLC player. For VLC you have to also enable an in app setting, but it still doesn't work with any of them. I can't try with YouTube since my country still doesn't have Red. Also I heard the Google Maps app is still rolling out pip in updates, so I didn't bother with that either.
Is this an issue for anyone else too, or am I missing something?
So far I'm enjoying Oreo, my phone became super fast, which shocked me, as I didn't expect this much of a speed difference. Animations look a lot smoother. And I'm really starting to dig this new notification channel thing. Really helps me customize all my different app notifications.
I have only been able to get pip working with google maps and chrome when playing a video, but I had to try it twice for chrome to actually do it, since then it has been working without issue though. For notifications I have the same thing where the quick options show up but not the notification, to view the notifications I still have to pull down the notification bar. I tried netflix and youtube but pip refused to work, it just kept going to the homescreen, I haven't tried vlc.
I will also say that I am enjoying Oreo and how much faster the phone is, it shocked me as well because it really is significantly snappier when jumping between apps or going back to the homescreen and opening something new. I have also actually started using the google assistant and some of the features it provides.
Just install internet beta from Samsung... And you have picture in picture...

Interesting. I've tried out Maps just now and it indeed does work. I don't know what's the problem with the other apps then...
Notification dots still don't work though. Also I haven't been able to use the instant apps either. The option never comes up. Wish shopping app supposedly has an instant app version, but no matter what, I can't use it in instant version, Only full install.
Also adaptive icons aren't that adaptive, as the stock Xperia launcher has no option to choose which icon variation I want to use (square, round, teardrop etc)
I also haven't been able to figure out how to use the Autofill framework, which would give me the same options for autofill within the OS as I get with Chrome on web forms.
These features seem to be just straight up missing, or I don't know where to find them.

I went to a gaming site that I knew had videos, once there I started playing a video in full screen and then double tapped the home button and it put the video in pip mode.

That's what we're saying, we can't get pip to work with youtube, netflix, or vlc. I really want to use pip mostly for youtube and netflix, so until I am able to do that I really don't care that much about this feature.
You can still move or delete apps in the menu, but you can now decide what press + hold on an app does when going to the settings of the app folder/launcher.
Update
I have downloaded Nova launcher and Lawnchair launchers, and neither seems to support the Oreo features, but instead it seems they have their own implementation of app shortcuts and badges.
So the problem has to be with the Xperia Home launcher.

Youtube currently blocked the workaround with the 'window' keycode. however there's OG Youtube - it's a modded youtube which has a recent youtube version as base. It has PiP, background playback and an option to download the video. Although the PiP is what i'm looking for. So far there are no downsides. You need to get XDA labs which has a pretty cool repo.
Try it here https://labs.xda-developers.com/store/app/com.google.android.ogyoutube

PIP works with VLC. Enable background playback in VLC settings . Only thing is it doesn't work like chrome where you just have to press the home button. In this case you have to select PIP mode(bottom left option in the attached screen shot) before you switch to any other app.
You need youtube red subscription for pip.
1. PiP works fine. Though you need a red subscription for Youtube in order for it to work with Youtube.
2. Instant apps work fine for me. There was this tetris game I was able to play without installing.
3. Autofill works fine too.
4. Long tapping the app icon doesn't seem to bring up notifications. Disappointing, since I was really looking forward to that feature.

There are plenty of features that are not here..... Another obvious example is the xperia dialer app. which is on the same 3.0.0 version as it was in August and looks nothing like it's advert.
It's more of a marketing thing. Look here! Look here! Shiny!Yet I believe most of those presented features will arrive at some point in time under Oreo and that's why they were presented - not as a done thing but more of a 'soon to arrive'. FYI notification dots are still not available on the beta release. Hopefully more updates will come.... sometime.... maybe spring next year? :laugh:
Didn't know PiP required YouTube red, useless, it's like YouTube is trying to destroy itself with everything they do recently.
It seems like we are in a full beta test, and would go on until oreo 8.1 would be released.... It's astonishing Google Pixel and Pixel 2 have a lot of problems and bugs with oreo update XD
I have been playing with the fullscreen gesture feature that came out in Android 10. I like it a lot. The screen area on my 7 pro is even bigger now. The back screen gesture is almost as reliable as the button.
Except for one problem- the gestures that involved the bottom edge seldom work reliably. I notice the problem is more pronounced if I am using an app that has lots of screen stuff it can scroll. Examples include facebook (web page), Google Maps, weather radar apps... The bottom gestures (Go To Homescreen, Go To Multitasking View) work reliably if I am using an app that is only one page long and does not have any scrolling involved, like a calculator app. I get the same reliability (or lack thereof) if I use the bottom bar or not. But using Chrome, Maps, etc. and trying to get into the multitasking view, or "back to home" is almost impossible.
Am I the only one having these problems? Any solutions offered?
