[Q] What do I need for the ultimate Nexus Player experience? topic

So I think I've read every thread in the Nexus Player forum, and I'm just going to spit it back and have you all make sure I understand what I'm getting into...

Got my Nexus Player and it updated to 21V, and it sounds like I can still root with ChainFire, is that correct?

Then to start expanding functionality I need an OTG cable and USB Hub. Any recommendations on a 3-4 port hub?

Then, my aim is for wired networking. I understand it isn't totally necessary but I have my Comcast gateway right next to it. So I might as well just get this adapter right?

So at this point I would be rooted, networked, and ready to add on storage. I'm going to go the route of a 1 or 2TB (non-powered) hard drive. Will I have to setup bunches of 128gb partitions, or will LolliRock, Unleashed Kernel, StickMount, (and there was one more app that handled OGG folder placement for large games) handle storage without those mini partitions?

Then, if possible I want to get a 360 controller or wiimote working. If not it sounds like the Red Samurai Bluetooth controller or the Asus controller is the way to go...

Also, will a Logitech K400 work via USB adapter?

How am I doing so far?

What apps CAN cast to nexus player?? topic

I just unboxed this today. So far every app I have tried to cast from doesn't work. Flixster has an error, 2 different encore apps don't work and VUDU doesn't even see it. I had zero problems on my chromecast. I upgraded to this for the AC band and for my son to play games on it. Now I can't even watch my ultraviolet movies. Is this just me or am I doing something wrong?

[Q] Turn my FTV into just a XMBC / Netflix Player - topic

i am rooted and have the latest software up and running. i have kodi installed and all set up.

i would like to get rid of as much amazon crapware as possible. i don't want to offend any amazon lovers, its just the only reason i bought this device is to run xmbc (kodi) better than i was on my apple tv. so far i like it a lot better.

i would love to have it boot into a screen with two icons, netflix and xmbc. is this what you would call a Launcher? is the best one for what I'm after here? do you recommend anything else? maybe with some screen shots?

Thanks guys, Cody

[Q] Nexus Player with Google Apps accounts? topic

Has anyone had any luck using their Nexus Player with a Google Apps account? So far I've had none. The NP will let you log in to a GA account but no resources of that account are available (no tv/movies/music/games/apps are available) because the Device Policy app is not installed and not directly installable from the play store. I tried side-loading the app but it just crashes before after the first screen.

I'm not rooted and I'm running stock because I've not done anything but try to login to my account yet.

Using a non-GApps account isn't really an option. While it would work, I wouldn't have access to all the things I'd exactly want to use on the NP like movies/music/games.

[Q] Varying results using nexus player on different routers topic

Hi guys,

So I just got the nexus player for Christmas. After struggling through wifi connectivity issues, I finally managed to get the NP up and running. However not perfectly. Far from it.

I've trialled using the player on two different wifi connections:

1. My home wifi network running on a tp link dual band 1900AC modem router
2. My wireless access point set up on my phone

I've had the best results on my phone's AP, where pretty much everything works, until the connection drops after 1/2 an hour or so. My home wifi network is much less successful.

When connected to my home wifi network, I have the following issues:

1. The Google play store never shows any apps. It's just a blank page.
2. The play music app shows results, and music appears to initiate, but music doesn't actually play. The progress bar doesn't move.
3. The YouTube app won't yield results for any searches. YouTube clips from the home screen play just fine though.

Is anyone able to shed some light on this for me? I'm baffled. I can't fathom any plausible explanation for these issues. The problem is clearly related to my modem router, as I don't have these issues with my phone's AP. But why would some functions work fine (YouTube videos playing from home screen) and others not work at all (YouTube app yielding no results). All this while it all works fine on my phone's AP??

Please, your assistance would be valued greatly.

Oh and merry Christmas all!

MX Player lag when playing video on CM11 (GT-S5360) topic

The tittle says it all. I flashed my sgy with CyanogenMod 11 (kitkat 4.4.4) yesterday. Then, I install MX Player and its codec (Armv6 VFP-for sgy). MX Player is my default media player when I use stock rom and I love it for its performance and functions to play unsupported video file format that internal player cant play. I noticed that CM 11 have problem with something about OMX Codecs (if im right, cant remember, found about it when googling the problem yesterday, but no solution). I tried to play some music videos (mp4 format) with internal player. Yeah, same as stock problem. Can play MPEG-4 but Xvid cant. But this time I cant play x264 mp4 format that previous stock does. Its terribly lag so much. The audio ok. But dont worry though coz I can use MX Player to play that file. Then, i get the same problem, lags. I tried everything, reflash with stock and flash it back with CM 11 rom, use default and custom codec. Still didnt solve the problem. I even tried uninstall the app and reinstall it without the codec. Suprisingly, I can use the app without codec. MX Player didnt ask to install its codec like before when no codecs found. It looks like MX Player use internal decoder as its codec. What the... I even reinstall its codec but it seems like MX Player ignores it. So frustated. Then, im trying to google for any other app that can play various type of video. I found QQPlayer. I wanna give it a try. After install it, still cant play the video. Same problem. But when I look in setting, I found something that the player able to switch between internal decoder and its own decoder. Then, trying to play the video... bla, bla, bla.... and it works. But with a little lag. Not terrible as before. The video and sound is out of sync. Yeah, the same problem when I use QQ Player with stock before using the MX Player. Okay, the real question is, is there any 'switch' for MX Player to choose between its decoder or internal decoder as its codec. I believe that everyone have across the same problem when using CM 11 on sgy. This just QQ Player without any additional codec can play the video with little lag. If MX Player? The problem will solve without any lag and smooth. (maybe, when use its own codec)

P.S. sorry if my english are bad. If any of you didnt understand the question, i can give a bit more detail. Im malaysian and still 15 years old :D

[Q] Media Player ROM topic

Does anyone know if there is a ROM that has cell radios removed and all phone related apps removed? Or does anyone have instructions on what to remove when building a ROM to remove all that stuff? I want to get my daughter a media player like an iPod but not apple. I know I can disable the radio but I would prefer for her to not figure out how to turn it on and I would like to get rid of the phone apps.

[Q] Player cutting out openings and endings with anime? topic

I just got this player and started out testing out a few files. Most of the files I have are split into chapters, but for anime, the player sometimes cuts out the opening and ending segments. I looked around in the settings for a way to disable this, but couldn't find anything. Is there a reason for that? Or a way around it? I don't like having things cut out for me. The weirdest part is that it didn't do that for every file either; it left them in tact for 1 out of the 3 videos I tried.

I searched around but couldn't find anyone with a similar problem, so sorry if I just missed something obvious.

[Q] P7 Music Player : Change from alphabetical order to... topic

Hello everyone,

My question is quite simple but a bit specific :

I like to listen to full albums from the beginning to the end, but the music player can't do that : it only sort the songs by alphabetical order, and all you can do is switching to random...
I stopped used the music player from Huawei for this reason but then I found out that a double tap on the lock screen lunch the music player in a very "neet" way so I keep on using it, I'm cycling a lot and using this device with one hand on a bike is not an easy task...

One of the solutions might be to switch to another music player and another lock screen I guess, but is there anyway to avoid that ? Or to link to "double tap" on the lock screen to another music player ?

Thanks in advance for you answers, this phone is more than awesome for its price !
