[REF] Collection of Nexus Player APKs - Nexus Player General

Nexus Player APK Collection Thread
As requested by many users, here is a thread with a collection of APKs sourced from the Nexus Player. Many of these APKs are sourced so users outside of the US can download them.
All of the APKs are hosted on MEGA and mirrored on FileDropper. PM if a link goes down. If you have anything to contribute please do.
I will try to keep these apps updated regularly - let me know if an app need updating.
(Let me know if you want any other apps added to this list as well.)
Information
As sideloaded apps are not updated by the Nexus Player, it is desirable to install directly from the Play Store. (Visit this thread for any apps that are missing from this list.)

Hmm, so when you install the Netflix APK it seems it won't be manually updated. I think I have the same version linked in the OP, 1.0.1 build 110.
I will contact APKMirror and ask if they can also mirror the leanback version of Netflix.
Edit: Actually when I went into Play Store > Entertainment Apps I could see Netflix there. Entered and pressed update. Got 1.0.2 build 121.

I extracted the following from my NP today:
Netflix v1.0.2 b121
Mega
Vevo 2.1.5
Mega
Pandora 2.0.7
Mega

Thank you.

Thank You, very much for your time I am sure this will help a lot of people (including me).

other apks
Can someone share the Food Network, Travel Channel and Uvideos for Android TV apks as well. Thank you in advance.

You are the man!

Absolutely, Thanks for your continued support I will be certainly installing the Netflix app on my Nexus Player tonight. Regards - Haxxa

I see you got the HBO Go app from fire tv, anyway you could get the fire TVs pbs video app? There is two apps out there I think one for kindles and one for fire TV and I'd love to have the fire TVs one as its much more TV friendly obviously and we don't have one on the play store, we have pbs kids but not pbs itself.

Are there any updates to the Hulu Plus app?

thanks for keepings these apks updated @Haxxa and @EcPercy, i really appreciate it. i haven't been able to get the market helper app to allow me to install netflix from the play store so you guys really saved the day.

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone knows of a VPN app that will work with these leanback versions of apps?
I'm located in Canada and would like to access US Netflix. Running either of the 2 VPN apps I have will work fine on the regular-non-leanback version of Netflix, but not on the leanback version posted in this thread. Any ideas? I'm running Lollirock 2.0 on the Nexus Player.
Thanks!

Not sure about VPN mate, so sorry there, but a VPN adds a lot of overhead to your connection by routing all traffic through and would never be as fast as a DNS which is way way easier to setup. Have you considered this option? If you are set on using a VPN it would be hard to find a specific app to Leanback Netflix you would probably have to find one that enables app based routing and as far as I know there aren't any decent ones from the top of my head...

Hey thanks for the reply.
I'm not set on using anything and since VPN don't work, I'm willing to try anything.
Can you give me more information on setting up DNS?

Ok so Firstly I might just explain whats the difference between a VPN and a DNS. There are many disadvantages for people who choose to use A VPN Service when streaming, downloading or accessing blocked/region-restricted content however, the main disadvantage of using a VPN Service is VPN’s are slower than a DNS Proxy.
Because when you connect to a website via a VPN, all of your network traffic is being sent and re-routed through the VPN. This basically slows down ALL of your Internet traffic which results in a very slow and poor quality stream (or download) from the intended website in this case Netflix. Rather with a DNS only some traffic is directed to the US and thus its very fast. - This is explanation overlooks many technical aspects but it gives you a general idea never use a VPN to stream content is reduces speed significantly.
Now changing the DNS is dead simple, its under the settings menu of the Nexus Player, follow this guide to change the DNS - http://ausdroid.net/howto/setup-nexus-player-custom-dns-side-load-apps/
But first you will need a DNS Service they generally cost about $3 a month (CAD) and are available online, I use Getflix which is Australian and has Australian Servers and Australian Billing so you are probably going to want to find a Canadian Option. A quick Google Search found Unotelly and UnblockUS.
So simply follow these Steps-
1. Buy DNS Service
2. Follow Steps in guide to enter DNS Service
3. Watch Netflix
- Dead Easy Right?
That's why DNS is preferred over VPN, easier, faster and cheaper
Let me know if you have any issues...

Re: [APP] myPlayer - BBC iPlayer client [0.40b 11-Jun-2010] BETA
You know BBC forced the shutdown of beebplayer cos they didn't want this functionality so I'd be careful how much time you put into this but keep up the good work all the same.
Sent from my T-Mobile_G2_Touch using Tapatalk
Yeah, I was going to ask, is this a Beta of the official app? If not, I still have Beebplayer, how is this better? (And how long do you expect it to last before it gets pulled? )
Are the BBC making an official one for android?
Just tried the my player app though, pretty good
Smoother than Beebplayer was.
Hi all,
Was using this on WM previously now usng it on my Streak great app.

Downloading now, will test it out later.
disappeared!
Agh I want to try this out but it's fine from the Market!!!
Anyone got the. Apk??
Can't find it on the market Anyone got a direct link?
WHY "An internet connection that is UK based" ??
I would guess because iPlayer wont work for anyone outside of the UK...
WHY "An internet connection that is UK based" ??
because the bbc iplayer only provides it's video streams to those of us living in the uk.
maybe a proxy server would help those of you living outside the uk?
Yeah, maybe if the software could come with something to setup proxy settings it might help those outside the U.K.
I'd install it and see if you had already made one but I'm testing out a little ROM development, the interface looks pretty sick though from the pics
Found a bug, it wouldn't pause for me when I was watching stuff on it.
Yep, pause button does nothing.
Like that app.
Great App!
I'd been searching all over for beeb player, and had pretty much accepted that I'd missed the chance. This is a really well made application.
Video was a little pixelated on wifi to begin with, but seems to smooth out after 20 secs or so.
You can get beebPlayer from hemorrdroids.net (link in my sig)
*** Updated to version 0.50b ***
Change list:
- Supports new BBC iPlayer layout
- Fixed pause button

[Q] Decent Launchers

Not finding much launchers for my ugoos um2.
Anyone have any solutions?
Also has anyone had any luck with getting YouTube lean back working so that I can queue videos with my android device to the TV stick.
Utorrent would be nice if I could queue files from my android mobile to the TV stick also. Anyone got this working?
Thanks
Steven

launchers...
Can you please describe this problem further? When I search for home screens or launchers in google play store, I get 2 or 3 that seem good for display on televisions such as this one "TVLauncher". Is this what you are talking about?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.awe.dev.pro.tv&hl=en
YouTube leanback... Utorrent...
I'm not sure if apps in one android device can control another android device the way you want... Maybe if the control device runs the app, while the other device to be controlled runs a browser in 'desktop' mode (not Chrome) and browses to an appropriate web address such as youtube.com/leanback or remote.utorrent.com but this seems awkward. So basically I recommend to try a remote control app that is designed for android-to-android control, such as "Tablet Remote".
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tournesol.tabletremote&hl=en
Whatever happens, I recommend to opt-in for HTML5 player in youtube.com/html5 so as to minimize use of Flash player. Otherwise, install Flash player app on all android devices that will play youtube and other online videos.
Cheers.

Apps for Google Live Channels App

Hi Guys,
are their any other apps downloadable which can be used with the live channels app from google than:
Pluto TV - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=tv.pluto.android
HDHomeRunTV - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.silicondust.mg.upnp
Zatoo - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zattoo.player
Cumulus TV - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.felkertech.n.cumulustv
The Weather Network -
InstaTV - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.keyitech.instatv.pro
I think the thread could also be a collection of all apps which support live channels.
ProgTV! If you have a Hauppage or similar card that connects an antenna into a computer, you can stream channels to your nexus player! Much cheaper than spending 200+ dollars on an HDHomerun
Hi sheikboy, prog TV isn't supporting the live channels app. I can't see any possibility to add it there.

I think this is a good idea since google does no tell you what is compatible with live channels.
Apps
The Weather Network, HDhomerun, pluto, and instaTV
The weather network and pluto are streaming and put channels directly into Live Channels and instaTV requires HDhomerun be installed.
Hope this helps. And looking forward to see if theres other apps out there.

Playlist import and xmltv EPG support is on the roadmap.
It forces close upon opening on my end!
Thx guys for your anticipation. The cumulus app doesn't work really well for me, but the app uses the live channels app and if the app is finished it could be a great app.
Hey, Cumulus dev here. I have fixed some stability issues and added playlist import capabilities. EPG support is sort of there but not fully integrated yet.

Spotify via Google Cast on Android TV Devices

Here is how I got to work Spotify via vasting on my razer forge since even newest app would not detect it,new chromecasts and old ones are ok with it.
If you have amazon fire tv or fire tv stick or can use friends either device then all you need to do is log in with your amazon account and then extract spotify connect from fire stick or fire tv,then sideload it to your nexus player/shield/forge or sony android tv.
You also need to sideload amazon appstore (underground now) and log in with your account.
You will then be able to use spotify via casting from your phone tablet etc.
Take a look at my post on Razer Forums:
https://insider.razerzone.com/index...-to-work-with-forge-casting.9151/#post-169304
Enjoy!

it won't do much for you unless you can disable Amazon DRM. It will only work with my account or - your account
What I can suggest that you make amazon account,download their appstore and download the spotify connect to your device and then you will be registered (at least add click to cart and purchase it for free) then hit me up and I will post APK for you.
It will work this way.
Connect apk
Yes can you please post the spotify connect apk you pulled, I have amazon app store and purchased the app. I tried using the 0.0.6 version on my nexus player but i think it's too out of date. Thank you

why not use Spoticast in the first place?
Anyway, this is all annoying and those are just cheap workarounds. We need this to work directly from the official Spotify app without any tinkering. As far as I can see, the Android TV Google Cast functionality has now been degraded to something you could call Google Cast Light ...or Google Cast 2nd Class. As both, a Spotify Premium and an Android TV user I hate to say I'm disappointed, especially since e.g. Deezer has been working without issues on Android TV for ages. Either I've missed it or neither Google nor Spotify have mentioned Android TV compatibility at all in this case. This is the beginning of Google Cast fragmentation...

There is no link to the APK and your account. If they have an amazon account they can just install the underground, login, install spotify, open spotify (dont have to do anything, just open it) then on your phone\tablet\whatever, choose the Asus NexusPlayer.

Spotify Connect APK attached. Amazon Underground can be obtained from here.
works for one song and then fails. Songs play but no audio
amazon.com/Spotify-Connect/dp/B00N1XIY5Q/
Apparently upgraded. Do you have the apk for 0.2?
Why not just use the Spotify add-on in Kodi?
I´m also interested in latest APK.
Could someone please upload the file, I cannot download it "You are not eligible to purchase this app due to geographical restrictions. "

Youtube app

Figured this has been discussed many times, but could not find the details?
Was wondering if there was a way to get a youtube app installed on Webos that will play videos without ads? I know it may need to be rooted, so if thats needed thats ok. It seems like there is a way root now with 3.5 or lower.
I know with Android this is easy with or without root. So would like to do the same with LG SmartTV running WebOS.
you can probably add the urls for the ads to the hosts file which should stop them from loading

Can I do that not rooted?
URL blocking hasn't worked for well over a year with YouTube. PiHole and the like are ineffective.
You need a modified app that doesn't play ads, like you get for Android. I don't think one exists for LG WebOS.
Run youtube without ads on LG-TV
Have the Youtube app installed on the LG-TV (Useing this app direcly will always show adds on all youtube videos), if you have an android phone -Then google "YouTube Vanced" -its a modded adfree Android YouTube client, works on none rooted android phones. Run the app on your phone search for the Video then use icon to cast screen to the TV. Youtube app on TV will show the video without ads.
I guess you can do the same if you have iPhone and an youtube adfree app.

any update on this subject? unfortunately casting from Vanced is not a solution anymore, TV keeps showing ads which can be skipped after 5s of viewing. What is interesting - Vanced even displays a notification that TV is going to show the ad in a few secs
I just went to https://rootmy.tv from my LG TV web browser and it installed the homebrew channel, from that I was able to install the adfree youtube mod and disable my TV checking for new updates which might lose my root. It also includes SponsorBlock in the mod so it will skip annoying subscription reminders & in-video promotions.
Can you revert back if needed?
I have a 2019 model
