Seems that the last version of Youtube can stream also at 1080p in hdmi devices.

What is this a sign of democracy from Google ?

My war is bringing some fruit ?

I'm happy. Thanks Google.

You mean this? YouTube 10.40.58 (x86) (480dpi) (Android 4.0.3 – 5.1.1)
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] zulu99:
the last from google play. 10.40.58

Somebody having problems with sixaxis? I've tried using my controller with the new update but couldn't. Used to work normally on Lollirock. Giving me an error message saying that none of the methods works. Appears to not be a marshmallow issue, since there are no complaints about it from other devices.

I can confirm that both skype and hangout versions linked by [MENTION=1469500]zulu99[/MENTION] work as intended. great work.

Am trying to mount my NAS folder in NexusPlayer using CIFSManager. Purpose is to backup apps/data and schedule these as activities. But CIFSmanager isnt able to mount this propoerly,either a blank folder or a file being created with foldername....any ideas?
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] zulu99:
Try with es file explorer to see if you can mount a cifs share. If it work, is a question of the app CIFSmaneger that must be updated to work with android 6.

Many users not know that from Android 5, many things was changed under the hood of Android, expecially when apps use OS / kernel functionality directly.

many limitations was added from Google, and the developer must work like a slave to adapt everything.

Goolge want that you use only Google API, in this way can have a better control over ALL.

But we like to do many things at low level because works better.

We don't like that Google must have the control over developers and decide what can do and what can't do a developer.

Development = Freedom of Thought

But in this way Google requires developers to be mere slaves of Google
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] gdsbalaji:
[MENTION=1469500]zulu99[/MENTION] am able to see the NAS share in LAN section of the ES File manager, i can access, read, write so all is well. Problem come in when i want all the other apps to see this NAS share as a local folder, for it to perform actions, say quickpic to show photos or appbackup to save all apks in the NAS folder
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] zulu99:
in LolliRock firmware thread for Nexus Player, you can find a guide of some users. I don't remember the page. Search and i'm sure that you will find the answer.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] gdsbalaji:
[MENTION=1469500]zulu99[/MENTION] thanks will try that. BTW where can i find the cifs.ko file in this rom?
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Hey guys,

Is anyone able to skip YouTube ads? Like clicking on the button that says "skip ad" after the 5 or 10 seconds of advertising? I can click on it at all. Not with the remote or with the mouse. I'm forced to watch the whole commercial. Anyone else? Thanks!
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] aamaro:
Hey Zulu, first of all thanks a lot for your work with this rom which is hands down the best option for full android 6.0 on this device.

And about the green bar, I can confirm this. Here's how it looks
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] easyguy:
Thanks Zulu for your work. Can you put a note in the OP that a USB OTG cable is required to control the unit on the first boot after installing this rom. I did not get to use your rom yet, I went on amazon and ordered an OTG HUB (hopefully it is compatible) it should arrive today.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] Otisrhw:
I have no problem, what version are you using?

Help

I installed the rom yesterday and I had few issues to ask about (I am not an advance user)

1. Leanback launcher didnt show anything inside .. I installed it but nothing shown after open

2. NP wasn't recognized for casting from mobile

3. Couldn't link my NP remote

4. The built in browser crashes when try to download something

5. Play store leanback only apps didn't recognize my device (incompatible)

6. Dropbox not compatible with the device

7. The screen goes off completely when standby .. Awake again after moving the cursor.. (No daydream)

I came from cm12.1. Did I have to make wipe system and data before installing this rom?

And thanks zulu for sure it is completely something we are happy to see on our NP
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] easyguy:
I can only answer a few of your questions, as I have not done everything that you have asked.

Go to play store and download Firefox, the browser that came with the rom did crashed when I went to download things.\

You can change the display time out in settings.

---------- Post added at 10:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:43 PM ----------

Very smooth and very stable, your rom made the nexus player so useful to me, I went out and bought another Nexus and planning on putting your rom in it again.

Thanks ZULU!
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Hey Zulu,

Just reporting in.. Now my regular, non-leanback Netflix has stopped working as of yesterday. I'll be able to start or continue something for about 5 to 10 minutes, then it'll exit the video back to the Netflix home screen. Like someone has hit the back button on the remote. I've Uninstall, reinstall, roll back versions. It just does it on every version on Netflix going back a few. Which I though strange.

One thing I've noticed about the lean back Netflix app is that I am able to continue watching almost anything, but I can't start anything from the beginning, or letting an episode end and load the next without getting that same playback error. I can watch half an episode of something on regular Netflix, pause, go into leanback Netflix and resume that episode, almost always without issues. But if I wanted to start from the beginning or continue watching the next, bam, error. Just an observation. Maybe it'll mean something to you?

Thanks!
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] zulu99:
When you install a new firmware, you must clear user data.

So the command fastboot -w is necessary otherwise you can have app not working like the comment above.

For Chrome Browser, don't forget you are in Android 6, Google decided that you must grant persmissions for every single thing the first time, so to have download you must grant this permission in Chrome app permissions. Or the first time that you try to download it request to you the permission, but if for error you deny the permissions you can have some crash. So check the app permissions.

App permissions can create problem also on others apps. So chek this stupid funcionality for every app.

Some developers are trying to solve problems, so some apps can have something disabled for the moment.

I tested Netflix regular app and leanback app and both works well. From two day Netflix is active also in Italy and now i have an account. So i take care also of Netflix. I use DroidMote to control all my Android device, so the problem os the friend above can be also how it control the netflix app.

P.S.

Why Google Play Services have all permissions granted by default and all others apps no ?

Google is breking the balls with all this stupid things. Give root to the users, so everyone is the owner of their phone.

Only with Root, you can have security. That you like or not.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] zulu99:
what do you use to control your nexus player ?

i use DroidMote and i can use well both netflix versions.

I ask this because can be your input device.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Only the NP remote. Nothing else. I use a regular USB mouse to set up. Once I'm done, I use nothing but the NP remote unless I have to. Currently, nothing plugged in. Not even through OTG.

hey i flashed it perfect. but how can i use exfat oder ntfs ?
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] zulu99:
if not work with the internal vold, try with StickMount app. The native functionality support only some file system, StickMount support all that the kernel support.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] KLit75:
Thanks. Sorry if this has been asked but I can't find a way to get adb over network working.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] nickhaven:
Just add service.adb.tcp.port=5555

to build.prop, save and reboot
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] KLit75:
Thanks that did it. Also casting doesnt seem to work for me BUT the device im casting from is cm 11. Does that make it incompatible? It worked with np stock and cm 12.1.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] wah00kid:
New to the nexus player. Got the ROM up and running no problem. I'm wondering what sort of reporting or bug squashing might be possible.

Anyone having issues using FolderMount? I keep getting a write error. Its not letting me mount the external sd. It did before but on this rom its not letting me. Any thoughts?

Anyone???

I use stickmount, haven't seen any issues reading or Writing to my "unsupported" external drive.

Not Stickmount but FolderMount...Stickmount works its FolderMount that is giving me issues.

gaining root access for apps

i have a problem i cant get root access to some of my apps i can enable root explore to es file explore and i did a root check came up good but for some reason i have game controller 2 touch and it cant get root access at all i got the beta super su 2.52.zip flashed in the np and its all clean but no way to get this app to get access can you helped to get this fixed zulu
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] zulu99:
Some apps can be not compatible with Android 6.

Root work well in this firmware because i'm a developer of an app that require root as you know. So i tested well this functionality.

This firmware is made by AOSP source code, so it is very and pure AOSP :)

I added webcam, audio stuff and mtp, so is pure Android 6

If you have doubts on some app, i suggest to test the app on a stock Android 6 firmware and if the app work, you can report the problem to me.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] Wilberry:
Thanks for all your work Zulu, installed last night. Primarily use for Kodi and works like a charm.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] cdub50:
I was wondering if there is flashable zip for this ROM as I have twrp installed on my nexus player and didn't want to have to hook my Mac book up to it to install via fastboot.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] zulu99:
last generic TWRP have also the ability to install system.img, i don't know if the TWRP version for Nexus Player was updated. i install always with fastboot.

How did you get the NP remote to pair?? Love this ROM, but would be nice to have the remote working so the wife and kid can use Netflix, plex and kodi on their own. Mine was not visible when I tried to pair it, Xbox controller and my Bluetooth keyboard worked just fine.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] nickhaven:
I had the same issue but I am still on 1.0. I have been using droidmote and a Logitech keyboard\touchpad via the ogt port. I almost upgraded today hoping the issue was fixed (per the request of my wife and daughters). Wife has an iPhone, so she only uses the keyboard at this time.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] zulu99:
The stock remote work very well with this firmware. I tested it now for you. Check your battery or connect it in the right way.

active bluetooth in the firmware, press both remote buttons home and back to put the remote in pairing mode, click on refresh in bluetooth settings. when you see the remote pair and it will work well.

But just for basic operations, you can't do many things with the little remote.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] nickhaven:
Hold down the back button and the home circle on the remote for at least 3 full seconds, the remote light with be double flashing, meaning its in pairing mode. Then you can BT pair like normal.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Hey dude.

I had to go back to stock. There simply was too many issues with Netflix and this ROM for me. I was constantly getting deactivated on the leanback version of Netflix. This happens to me going back quite a few versions of LolliRock and now the new M version too.

I flashed stock Marshmallow, rooted and I've had no issues. It was nice using a custom ROM and all, but at the end of the day, the NP is only a TV box, not my smartphone or my tablet. Having all those functionalities without Netflix (the only thing I really use on the NP) working simply just wasn't worth it to me. Now I can Netflix perfectly, stream on ES via LAN, and play old games on emulators. All the other stuff is just extra.

Sorry Zulu. Great ROM. No argument there.. Your ROM just doesn't work for me.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] RainGater:
I could successfully pair the Nexus Player Remote with this ROM but unfortunately, it doesn't work really well with some of the key apps. For example, in Kodi, I don't know how we can get the Context menu to show up for configuring Settings other than going thru' hoops to get to that.

But, for basic operations, NP Remote works well and you definitely need a full fledged keyboard to take advantage of the full functionality.

OTOH, Logitect K700 (from the Revue) works pretty good and it's a very compact keyboard and handles all the activities exceptionally well.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] hang10z:
That worked thank you very much
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] zulu99:
I use Netlix full version without problems on my Nexus Player with Full Android.

I don't like and use the leanback version but i tested and work well. maybe you have others problems in your configuration.

I use droidmote to control my NP so i can use all multi touch apps without problems. Without a cumbersome keyboard and mouse on my couch.

I don't use only netflix on my nexus player, but many regular apps to watch videos and live tv and many games.

I love when i can install all without limitations from google play. games and apps.

Also the Chrome browser at 220dpi is vital for me. i can't live without it.

I can write a long list of functionalities that you lose without Full Android, but i stop here.

But if you want use only the netflix leanback app you don't need full android. on this you have right. you can use also a smart tv with a generic OS, an xbox or many others devices.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] omegatek:
Would Amazon Instant Video and/or HBOGo work on this rom? That would make it worth it for me to install if those 2 apps would work on it.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] ladidaaa:
How do i get root access on "Full Android 6" ?

Can i flash the root.img from the lollirock thread?

https://download.chainfire.eu/631/CF-Root1/Root-Nexus-Player-fugu.zip

If this doesn't work for 6.0, how can i install TWRP?

If i open the link it states that TWRP is not Marshmallow compatible.

Can you please post a link to the marshmallow compatibel recovery?

Thanks a lot in advance!
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] sam.balia1012:
Hey Zulu, does your build support *"android surface rendering" ? Kodi jarvis is implementing mediacodec only, it may affect audio/video...Thanks

This is Android therefore it have surface rendering :) like all others Android versions.

install twrp for NP and from twrp the last supersu.zip

as explained in first post. icluse links.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] TheShamsMan:
You are 100% correct. I'm definitely giving up most functionalities. Your ROM is, hands down, the most superior ROM for the Nexus Player. I can't argue with you there.

Netflix man. F***ing Netflix Leanback is the ONLY reason I got the NP. Without it, I have no use for the NP really. All the other things it does (games, LAN streaming, etc.) is just bonus. It could very well be a configuration somewhere. I'm no dev, but I'm certainly no noob when it comes to Android, and if it was a setting somewhere, it wasn't one that I was able to figure out. I even resorted to calling Netflix Support and the lady told me to upgrade to latest 6.0 stock, BAM, worked perfectly. Rooted, still worked perfectly. Flash your ROM, Netlfix deactivated when it attempts to load the next episode. I should also add that Netflix gave me the exact same deactivation message on PAC ROM and the CM ROM.

Anyways. Ever Android device has a mind of it's own. Mine just doesn't want to play nice. Keep up the good work brother. I will keep following!
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] sark666:
Considering loading this rom but I would like netflix leanback to continue working. Can others chime in how netflix leanback works for them?
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] KLit75:
To everyone talking about netflix, it appears to be playing video fine for me. But yes the remote is useless-no pause, play and you cant select an episode. BUT there MIGHT be a savior. I have an app called mouse toggle for my fire tv that works great on aftv (turns remote into mouse)

It is available for np but im not certain it works with this rom. Im not home so i cant test it. Only costed 99¢ when i bought it last summer. I went ahead and bought droidmote cuz i love this rom. But theres no replacement for a physical remote. Btw-the np remote is still fully functional in kodi.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] zulu99:
The FACT is this, now and in future:

Android offers millions things more than Android TV now and forever.

And all normal apps are better, have more options, faster and more updated than Android TV counterpart.

To control all Android apps and games directional keys are not sufficient, for this reason i invented from 5 year DroidMote with wich you can do everything very well.

You can use also an hardware keyboard and mouse or others solutions if you want.

The important fact is understand that if you want the "UNIVERSE",

directional keys are not sufficient, it add only barriers and can be useful only for users without many needs.

Is a simple concept.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] KLit75:
[MENTION=1469500]zulu99[/MENTION], I really hope my last post wasnt taken as critcism in anyway. I do love your rom and i bought droidmote for the sole purpose of using it on your rom. I fully expected to be using a keyboard/mouse pad or droidmote before i installed it. I was just responding to other posters and thinking of possible workarounds. Thanks for all your hard work!
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] zulu99:
Don't worry, and sorry. Some time i write things as generic statement also if i'm quoting another user. I'm little crazy on this :)

Mantein two firmware, one for nexus player and another for shield tv and my apps, with forums, response, email and all others thing is not very simple. Expecially because Android change everything very often and 24 hours in a day are not sufficient :)

But i'm happy of the result for now ;)

p.s.

Don't forget that i not even speak in english :) But i must support, like others android developers that have apps in google play, also request made in all others languages. Like the Pope :)

i like to joke.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] KLit75:
Lol! Well put, sir.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] warwagon19792:
Good in theory.

I tried this rom out about 2 weeks ago.

The issue I had was issues with the resolution or something. The video quality of netflix just looked liked like ass. I think it was a scaling issue. Honestly i'm not sure what the issue was. Everything video wise didn't look very good. I checked and it was set for the default resolution.

I was one of those people who was very excited about running stock android on the TV. That excitement fades quickly when you install apps that aren't made for a TV but for a phone and tablet .. which is most.

Personally I think the Nexus player strock rom is perfect except for the lack of NTFS. After going back to it and seeing the play store only allowing for apps which work on the tv it was refreshing.

I wish someone would release a modified stock rom which adds root and NTFS support.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] roebling:
Good riddance

The Sham-man's gone, this day just keeps getting better!
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] TheShamsMan:
Yeah.. Like you're some gift to this thread with jabs. F***in' loser. Giving up this ROM is a small price to pay to not have to listen to your shyte. So keep it.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] roebling:
Gone yet?
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] zulu99:
Your post is ridiculous. Do you know why ?

Because this is the stock firmware, the same android tv that you have but with full google play, normal system ui and normal settings.

The others additions in kernel and the fact that you can have audio unlocked and webcam don't make any difference in the video part or in all others parts of firmware.

You can run all normal android apps or if you want also android tv apps , so 0 differences in the firmware. This is the stock firmware without imposed limitations :)

Before write reflect.

P.S.

I use Netflix daily with no problems. I prefer the normal version, but you can use also the Leanback version.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] phreshjive:
[MENTION=1469500]zulu99[/MENTION]: I installed first Lollirock 2.1, then 5.1.1 Stock and finally reverted back to 5.0 due to the missing menu issue in 5.1+. I did see a marked difference in quality when using the Netflix app on stock vs. your ROM. Don't know what is going on there but I'm projecting on an 82" screen and quality is definitely not at my usual 1080P. Annoyed though that when using 5.0 stock for menu completeness purposes, no Dolby Digital 5.1 option appears in Netflix despite running their latest version. Stock even has something built-in to prevent you from installing Blackmart.

What I found would be a nice addition to your ROM is adding Settings Menu support for Google Cast and Daydream functionality. I wanted 2.1 to not go to sleep ever, Daydream using Google+ photos and function exactly like a Chromecast adapter would but couldn't do so with your ROM while under stock it is not an issue.
[Nexus Player Original Android Development] dennis148:
Well, you can root the stock rom and use stickmount for ntfs support. but the only thing i'm not able to do with the stock rom is to activate to volume control. this is the main reason for me not to use the stock. it's ridiciolous that android doesnt let you control the volume...
