Test the player store version of the Sling TV app, I have been told it will
work with the 5.1 Nexus TV Player version ... You don't need a login account, if doesn't tell you to upgrade, when you first open the app, then it will work ...

Test this current version of the Sling TV app, it has leanback launcher Code http://www.mediafire.com/download/qvnxs618mihpfj6/com.sling-1.apk ... Let me know ASAP, if it doesn't ask you for the update/upgrade, when you launch the app ...

No sir, does not seem to work, I get a 2-49 error, I went in and stopped the app and cleared cached, also ran from sideload launcher didnt make a difference. TT>

Any new features???

 

[aborrelli]

I'm not noticing anything. I need to test android cast though the main feature that I felt stunk and always forced me to use my chromecast.

Where is this? Via update? The image hasn't even been posted yet...i hope to god they addressed the multichannel audio pass through for ac3 and DTS, not to mention add mpeg2 hardware decoding

my nexus player auto updated itself. Haven't used it all day and when I just checked it 5.1 was already installed. Android phones/tablets usually require the user to approve, but it looks like android TV will auto update. Perhaps a notification is shown and after awhile if the user doesn't do anything, it auto updates?

Doesn't look like a lot is changed, from a user POV. One thing I did notice is a "restart" option in settings->about, which is nice. No more unplugging and plugging to reboot!

Google still hasn't posted factory images for 5.1. Can any of you dump the system, boot and recovery??

 

[McChen147]

5.1 factory image is up now

Is the Nexus Player more responsive with 5.1?

So far, it seems like it doesn't crash as much (only have been using it for about an hour0. I am still having issues casting tabs from my laptop. Also gave Amazon Instant another try without any success.

I've noticed the same thing happens with the apps. They are just magically updated. No questions or manual intervention needed.

 

[YoshiFan501]

I have not gotten it. maybe it's cause im rooted?

 

[matb321]

I am still waiting for update. I am not rooted.

That's because playstore is set to auto update apps by default. If you don't want that behaviour, change the setting.

Note 4 ?

Question for those on 5.1.

Does the bluetooth audio function now? Can you pair bt headset, or bluetooth stereo to it?

Note 4 ?

Anybody known if the root out there is ok for the new 5.1 update or is there a new file posted somewhere?

 

[Sleeepy2]

I believe the existing root still works as there wasn't a new one for my phone Nexus 6 when it went from 5.0.1 to 5.1

 

[ghus]

Perfect will give it a shot. Stuck into a minor issue in the meantime. Cant mount the cache arghhh. Factory image does not include a cache.img partition. Can I use the cache.img from another nexus device?
