Weird, I'm actually using the Amazon Fire TV game controller with my Nexus Player and it works fine, no perceivable lag. I did notice once in Mupen64 that it started lagging, but basically restarting the emulator fixed it, so I'm pretty sure that was a Mupen64 related issue.

xaudiblex then perhaps the limiting factor is the required libs that the arm built executable uses. I don't remember the exact libs from the FireTV Slingplayer apk, but there were what looked like some .so files built with c/c++ that were linked in and accessed over JNI. I'm guessing the...

Are there any updates to the Hulu Plus app?

Sorry folks, but Nexus Player is an intel atom x86 based architecture while the FireTV (and Stick) are ARM based. That means unless the .apk's ship the correct bits for both architectures, you're not going to get the Fire TV apps running on Nexus Player (for example in the case of Sling Player...

You need to enable home button detection in the settings. It is not enabled by default in an attempt to get approval for the FireTV store.

Hey folks, so I've had a couple Nexus players from their release, and one thing that's really bugged me is not having the ability to seem my Picasa/Google+ photos displayed during daydream. For whatever reason, Google didn't add the ability to Backdrop on Android TV to display your own photos...

Also, FWIW, It looks like Amazon doesn't want to approve the app to be available on the FireTV part of the store. They are not being very helpful in my requests for support as to why the app isn't on the FireTV store. You can find the app on the normal app store, but whether or not it shows up...

There's another update: v1.1.5. This has various bugfixes, including better support for the FireTV Stick, a prettier icon/name for FireTV Home, Wallpaper fixes on the stick, and Settings icon fix. Cheers!

Weird, 1.1.3 should have been signed. I've added 1.1.4 which signs things a bit differently (there are some issues with JDK 7 and the traditional way of signing). This should fix things up.

Try uninstalling the old version first.

Hey folks, I've posted a new release (v1.1.3) which has a couple pretty critical fixes. It should intercept home button presses much more reliably now. Make sure you have Disable Home Detection *unchecked* in the settings (there was a bug in the last version that might leave this box...

Search for 'arcade' in the play store and you'll see some SNES emulators show up. You can actually install these and they show up on the home screen! I've been playing Snes9x EX+ with no issues :)

Make sure your DNS provider is actually forwarding all the right Netflix domains... I know mine was missing one (android.nccp.netflix.com specifically) that the other android apps apparently don't seem to use...

So I made it a little bit further. It turns out there was an address that my US DNS provider was not forwarding (specifically: android.nccp.netflix.com ). They don't forward *.netflix.com to maximize customer privacy, which is nice. Now I'm able to get to the error screen in Netflix where I...

I'm having troubles with this too still. I've tried many things: - Set my US DNS settings directly on the Nexus player (both wireless and wired via USB adapter) - DNSMasq (which works fine with Netflix on my other devices) - Drop 8.8.8.8 and 8.8.4.4 requests on my network - Re-route 8.8.8.8...
