[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] ink-red-ible:
Hello guys its been only a week i've had the nexus player and im really enjoying it, i currently have the stock rom and my device is unlocked and rooted.

I have live TV 100+ channels via the app Mobdro http://www.mobdro.com/ which has to be side loaded.

For Movies and live TV i use Kodi and Popcorn time http://popcorn-time.se/popcorntime.apk both which have to me sideloaded.

This is not a complete guide but The Steps i followed to set up my Device.

First i bought this otg hub which has 2 usb and ethernet http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00J2N0GB4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Second i bought this keyboard/mousepad http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00B9996LA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Third was Rooting and i used this guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7EWKbzqltGk&list=PLq4EPW92B28fazduXRYawJZ0yA89W-Bxa&index=2

Fourth was sideloading apps https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N03TYKcg8ro&list=PLq4EPW92B28fazduXRYawJZ0yA89W-Bxa&index=3

Fith step for me was to be able to install any app but directly from the playstore which this guide showed me how https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ymjySfRFFHI&list=PLq4EPW92B28fazduXRYawJZ0yA89W-Bxa&index=6

i hope this post is helpful for everybody.

How does the TV app deliver shows? I heard that popcorntime works via torrent which can get some into trouble with comcast. Curious if mob works differently.
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] ink-red-ible:
I have comcast and i have been streaming from popcorn time and xbmc for a while with no problems. With mobdro you should have no problem it is not torrent based it is a "mirror" more than anything, it takes the live streams from different pages arpund the web and redirects it to a single simple to use app... They have many channels, discovery, science channel , history, espn, nba, fox, abc, cbs, thecw, and many more
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] midnightzak:
Is there an easy way to find the US based channels/streams and is there a favorites list or anything to keep it easy? I'll probably just install it and find out, but others may be interested too.
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] ink-red-ible:
yes most of the channels are from U.S and can be separated by preset categories like news,sports,shows. and yes you can have all your favorites saved and they come up as soon as you open the app
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] spyderman33:
Just installed it and fiddled with it for a bit and it seems to be amazing... I tried to go Premium but it said "Coming Soon"...

I have no issues paying to remove ads.
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] midnightzak:
Is there a similar app to popcorntime that doesn't use torrents?
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] spyderman33:
Showbox.
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] ink-red-ible:
We are in the same boat! As soon as they update to allow us to go premium i will! Its totally worth it. And if the increased funds make the streams more reliable then even better... Im hoping they bring back truTV, its one of the only channels i watch
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] ink-red-ible:
Hey in addition to showbox there are two other apps i have not tested in the NP but might work, one is Tv portal http://getandroidapp.org/applications/entertainment/1456-tv-portal-stream-tv-movies-1-1-12.html and the other one is Movie tube https://www.movietube.co/download/
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] codygs83:
I was having problems running showbox on my nPlayer. It would load everything but wouldn't play anything. Even with native player unchecked.

Maybe a future update will fix it.

I mostly use PlexBMC lately anyway as the plex Pass app for nPlayer is giving everyone, myself included, problems playing 1080 files.
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] ink-red-ible:
hey i also had problems with showbox the first time i installed it. if you start fresh on your NP and try a couple different apks and in versions you might get it to work, i have not found the latest update online but the app updates by itself. and also it does have it hiccups from time to time so maybe you tried it when it was down? just keep trying, i do know that it took me like 4 different apks to get it working
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] rrobyrroby:
I'm using showbox and it works fine.

I downloaded it from here:

http://www.coolvideoapp.com/

I'm running v. 3.84

I'm also using the 2 version of popcorn time

http://popcorn-time.se/

https://popcorntime.io

All these apps need a mouse control to move into the menu/movie list.

I hope that in the future the developers will upgrade the apps to work just with the Nexus Player remote..

[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] midnightzak:
What's the legality of showbox for a US user? Is it storing and seeding a torrent from my IP address or am I accessing a stream?

I've never been personally dinged by comcast, but I have a friend that was recently and it isn't fun (probably going to have to settle for $3k after lots of precourt crap).

Thanks for any info provided!
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] ink-red-ible:
I dont really know but i think legally it is the same as any other app/website or program to watch free pirated movies... and im not sure about showbox but i beleive it is acessing a stream if not then it is a torrent but it is treaming the torrent storing it in ram and then deleting it, you dont keep it, you dont seed it same goes for popcorntime.
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] ad78:
the solution is to buy this

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BALK9CM/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] theinspector:
Showbox is streaming, no seeding at all as it isn't a torrent. It is illegal, however but Comcast won't be sending you any threatening letters for it.
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] codygs83:
Do I need to be rooted to use this keyboard/mouse pad??

I've got everything working perfectly on my nplayer including all the apps I could ever need but only use kodi with plexbmc and either ororo.TV or genesis or sportsdevil. Also the Showbox add-on for kodi works better for me than the android apk.
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] ink-red-ible:
No! Not at all, the otg and the keyboard are plug and play
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] Pichi COR:
Does

Does the device needs to be rooted for popcorn and the rest?

Can't you just sideload it as in any Android Device?

Thanks!

-Pichi
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] ink-red-ible:
I think that yes you can but im not sure :/. I mean if youre gonna take the time to set it up just go all the way, its worth it... It was for me.
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] jeffrey81:
I was able to download the mobdro app on my phone works pretty well but I sideload it on my NP but when I click to play something it never shows up. The TV screen stay black and on the on the phone the same channel work well. How do you manage to fix that?
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] ink-red-ible:
Hmm seems that its your np acting up or you have to change the playback mode on mobdro itself
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] jeffrey81:
How can i do that because on the NP I don't have the settings bottom
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] jkbhso3:
Use a mouse
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] Talysdaddy:
Check out VideoMix, its like Showtime, but has a lot more choices for TV shows. You'll notice it grabs links from many Kodi addons. You'll need an external player like MX Player or whichever you prefer and can and pick each time before the video plays. It works best with a mouse, the NP remote works but if you want to keep your hair, its probably better to stick with the mouse.

INFO HERE

DOWNLOAD HERE

Another one I use is HD Cinema, very similar to Showbox.

Live TV Sports is great for sports, get it from the Play Store, but you'll need to sideload it.

None of these show up on the Leanback Launcher so make sure you have SideLoad Launcher installed. Side loading it is a must too.

NEW ADDS:

MovieDroid S is more of a search engine, than a movie browser, but you can download them too. A keyboard would be easiest to type whichever movie/show you're looking for.

MovieTube has reviews, summaries, let's you stream and shows with the video quality of each movie.

Will continue to add more, as I have more time..
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] briandresstoyota:
Using the mobdro app right now. Side load process super easy. Had to get used to going left and right with the up and down remote buttons but now I'm good. Its ok at best. I really want to find out how to get sling TV to work. Would rather pay $20 a month for ESPN etc than have super grainy streams. Anyone have any luck with slingtv?
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] theinspector:
Make sure you are rooted, sideload the market helper apk, and set your device to the following: under device put tablet, and set it to the asus transformer pad, under select operator, choose united states, and select at&t, then hit activate. Give it root access and after it finishes, go on your phone and go to the playstore website. Make sure it is the website, and make sure you are logged in with the same account signed in on your nexus player. It will tell you that the application is compatable with your devices, click on the drop down menu and you will see you have a device listed as "asus transformer pad." select that and hit the button to install it and in a few minutes it will pop up installed on your nexus player. It works perfect, been using it for a while. Enjoy! Make sure you have a web browser sideloaded as well to complete the market helper setup
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] Nephilim3883:
Just FYI, for my setup- I have a Pinnacle 800i in my HTPC. With Emby Media Server, I am able to pull in the OTA channels and then access them through the Emby app on the Nexus. I think you can do this with Plex too, not sure though. Hoping maybe the Live Channels app will be able to somehow add OTA channels at some point. I also haven't tried this with ServerWMC and Kodi.

As far as using Kodi, I have TVAddons sideloaded and it shows up on the main launcher screen. I like this better than vanilla Kodi since it builds everything for you. I used ES File Explorer to install it from a shared folder on my HTPC. Since trying to download via the only web browser was proving to be a pain in the ass.

I am also using Netflix, Sling TV, Crackle, PlutoTV, and PlayOn.

I hope they add HBO Go and VUDU soon.
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] johnbruce:
Thanks!

I am big fan of popcorntime it is one hell of streaming client. you could also add zona.ru to the list. it is clone(similarto.us/popcorntime.io) of popcorntime but the number of movies listed is much more.
[Nexus Player Themes and Apps] usafle:
Just wanted to chime in here and say thank you to the OP for pointing out this mobdro App. Just picked up a Nexus Player from the "fire sale" at Target and enjoying it so far.

I also tried to check out the "premium version" of the app but just got the "coming soon" message.

2 Quick Questions:

Has anyone found out how to add a channel to the "Favorites" page?

[MENTION=5005890]ink-red-ible[/MENTION]: How big is that keyboard you linked to on Amazon? None of the pictures on the page show it next to anything so I can't really tell how big/small it is?
[LG G Watch R] Steham:
I've been using facerepo.com to download some nice custom watchfaces. A lot seem to be for the Moto360 but seem to work fine. However they seem to have an ambient mode that just dims the screen rather than shutting off certain elements like numbers, text, etc (the LG stock faces seems leave just the hands). My question is, are these ok to use on the G Watch R? I change the watchfaces a couple of times a day, only use dark faces, have brightness setting on one (and I use Swapp True Dark). I know it might affect battery life a bit but am I safe from the dreaded burn in :confused:
[LG G Watch R] TheKaser:
if you use watchmaker you can edit the faces yourself to select what is displayed in dimmed mode. I guess you can do the same with facer.
[LG G Watch R] Steham:
Thanks for this, but I actually quite like having all the parts showing in dimmed. Do you think I would be affected with burn-in leaving them displayed in dimmed mode.

Good morning Chaps and Chappesses.

I hope everyone is well and happy. I am really enjoying using my Ameo but I cannot remember how to re-enable pocket MSN which t-moblie appear to have removed from my device.

I had this same problem on an older PPC I had but I cannot remember what I did to resolve this!

I had pocket MSN setup on my MDA pro and #I found it extremely usefull for checking mail and msn messenger.

Can anyone advise me on getting this back on my device?

WOWZERS!!!

PLEASE!!!

I would love a copy of the live messenger!

If you could post it before someone decides its a bad idea and blocks out posts :)

I am rather annoyed that I cannot have my hotmail messages delivered into my inbox like I did on my MDA pro.

That saved time and effort logging into hotmail through opera.

I guess I will not be installing another T-mobile Rom on this device but I had better find a copy of the HTC advantage Rom istead for TOMTOM and pocket MSN.

I await the goodness of :Live messenger :)!!

thanks!
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] shockboy2000:
Does the Live messenger keep your MSN contacts isolated, or does it still import all your phone contacts and add them as contacts (like it did when i once installed it on universal, prompting my immediate uninstall)

Also, does it suffer from the same problem with the winxp live messenger where some of the more recent contacts you add never appear online, even though they are online ?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mackaby007:
Interested!!

Yes please mate. ;)

Ooops! My bad. Just saw the dedicated thread for it. Thanks Wu. :)

If anyone knows where to find an armband specifically designed to Droid Turbo / Moto Maxx, please post the link.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Accessories] the_rooter:
I dont think they make any arm bads specifically for a said device. Walmart has some arm bands but they are universal for many devices.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Accessories] rodrigo82:
For Droid Turbo / Moto Maxx is more difficult than others devices to find, because it's new and not very popular.

But I found an armband specifically designed to Galaxy Nexus one time.

This is the one I have, just got it the other day from Marshalls locally. Fits the phone well, and my arm also. Haven't actually given it a go for normal use yet.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Accessories] daddymacbuff:

[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Accessories] the_rooter:
Look at the pictures. That is a universal one. It has an apple in one, and also a samsung in another. They put the title like that to sell. Again I repeat again. There is no one armband that is made for just one device. They all come universal depending on measurements for the arm belt and the phone itself.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Accessories] rodrigo82:
I agree with [MENTION=5973699]the_rooter[/MENTION] when he says that the model of armband shared by [MENTION=4254951]mdcowby[/MENTION] isn't specific designed for Turbo/Maxx.

But it's time to repeat what I said too :)

Once upon a time I found an armband specific for Galaxy Nexus.

But it's very difficult to find, due to market reach differences between creating an armband for a device or creating a generic armband that fits in a thousand.
[Verizon Motorola Droid Turbo Accessories] marksibert:
Tunebelt AB88 works well with my Turbo. I have a very minimal case on it and am able to slide it in/out of the armband easily with the case on. The fit is good enough that it doesn't slide around within the armband, though.

If you have a thicker case, like an otterbox, you'll need the next size up.

If you don't use a case at all, you can probably go with the next size down.

Hi,

You can ask for help in the thread you already linked in your post.

But really, you should read it once, twice and three times. No one can do it for you, and you'll only have the steps repeated to you.

If you are stuck on a certain step... Ask for help in that root guide. ?

Good luck!
