LMY47V -- 5.1.1 just landed for the Nexus Player in the form of Factory Image. Should be pushed to AOSP soon.
I not added the audio bluetooth stuff to the 1.7 version, because i already suspected 5.1.1 :)

5.1.1 should be a little update so in little time i hope to update.

The source is already in AOSP and i'm already on it.

Awesome!
BTW, I noticed that Play Store downloaded apps for Netflix and Hulu did not provide the high quality picture that stock Nexus Player versions of those apps provided. The Store version of Netflix was fuzzy, 480p or less. The Hulu Play Store app was better for still images but moving figures had artifacting around the edges. So I looked for archived Nexus Player versions of those apps and installed them. I wasn't sure they would run on my LolliRock'n Player but they installed and ran fine. And the quality of the archived Nexus Player .apk's video? EXCELLANT!
Here's where I found the archived, original Nexus Player apps:

Definitely going to try this out! I was actually going to comment, that the only thing I'm noticing on 1.6 is now glitchy Netflix got. I hope this helps. Will report back. Thanks!

The Netflix video doesn't fill screen by default. But it does if you click the fill screen arrows at the right end of the video controls. Click near bottom, right side to make the controls appear. Hides the 3 white Android soft buttons, too.
Running the stock HuluPlus app, I noticed my keyboard didn't seem to be working. Mouse, left & right mouse keys, ESC and the volume keys (F11 & F12) were dead and I couldn't select video or control it at first. But the arrow keys and ENTER worked fine, just like the ones on the d-pad remotes of the stock remote & Zulu99's fabulous app "DroidMote."

Hopefully, between @chibluboy & @zulu99 we can figure out an NFS mount. We tried the CIFS mount, it worked at first but other apps don't see it again. For example, our emulators arent seeing it anymore but ES File explorer does. Might have to retry all over again but would so much rather an NFS mount. We will keep trying. Fingers crossed.

I think it also has to do how an app is setup to search for a directory in Android. MAME4droid is able to see my NFS mount I created with CIFS. RetroArch is not able to see the exact same path. I have noticed this behavior with a few other apps. Another example is that VLC player can see the mount with no problem but MX player can not see it. I just do not know enough about Android to identify why some Apps can see the path and others can't. Maybe @zulu99 can see why this is happening.

UPDATE see post #610

Was wondering if anyone can comment on using these apks Lollirock 1.6? I tried using the Netflix one, the app installed successfully, but at the end of it, the "open" button was greyed out. Nothing under installed apps.

Any ideas?

I installed the archived Netflix & it seemed to be working. But looking in Settings > Apps and found 2 Netflix apps with same icons, the Google Store ver. 3.~ & the archived 1.~. After uninstalling the 3.~ I no longer had any Netflix icon on the desktop, though Settings > Apps still shows the archived Netflix version installed but I can,t get it to run.

Exactly what I'm experiencing.

I'm against all form of piracy, but when read something like that, or better an user that pay for a service and can't use the app because of the crap protections, i think that maybe services / app like Popcorn Time are the right consequence.

I not fight against crap services, i use better services.

thats because archived netflix is different from mainstream one, different signature etc, and it is specially made for android tv.it can only be launched from leanback launcher and it works fine. in your case you never actually ran an archived netflix and only improvement you saw on your original post is a placebo , or most likely netflix just improving to 720p when connection gets faster and it buffers enough.
with the archived neflix, if one can live with controls (they are a pain for me) ,you do get full 1080 streams
it can only be controlled with arrow keys or original remote once launched.
the same thing and fix for drm applies as the videos will be black till the workaround from dev option is enabled.
you uninstalled the mainstream netflix therefore you cant see the android tv version with regular launcher.

i mentioned before in this thread, only plex has unified app that automatically recognises if itc been launched from leanback or regular launcher and acts accordingly. they should all be written like this, so kudos to plex devs, sadly none of them are, including google ones.

Yeah I realize my post is missing capitals. That's because I'm so used to typing on the phone, that using pc keyboard I forgot about shift key ?
Periods are fine though. ?

I wasn't trying to be rude when I asked about kernel source I was only asking so I could share any commits you made in my efforts to bring CM to fugu. Also is there a change you can link the rar of the device tree in the OP? I have searched pages and pages but haven't found it yet. Thanks for the had work on this.
