I've been paying for Netflix membership ever since it became a company and that will never ever stop, zero chance of that ever happening. I just installed Kodi and I do not see any of the new Netflix shows just released, not anything legal that is. Are you saying I need to convert this 5 person family into downloading illegal content in order to benefit from the already known superiority of Kodi? I'm not willing to stoop to illegal activities, we have Police officers living in this Household which would not like such activity, and each person has their own Roku and Smart TV and expect Netflix to always work for them. We need HBOGo, and official Netflix and Hulu+ content and many others. Is that all free on Kodi legally at 1080p? If that's the case, then I would probably want to go back to my Beelink M18 and use Kodi on it instead as it feels like the superior device to me. lol :good:

EDIT: Installing Kodi back onto the M18 and will experiment to see if it has the content I'm wanting. Thanks

Well I tried it, and although the UI is every bit as nice as I remember the streaming sucks so bad I don't understand who would want to watch TV like that. I might as well pull out the DVD's & BD's and use the BD player and get something that's worth watching. Started TWD and about ten other shows and movies just in case TWD was at fault on Kodiu but its insanely awful. On Netflix its a night and day difference. The Netflix PQ just utterly destroys it. I don't want to watch stuff that makes me feel like I need to fix my eyeglasses, lol.... Was going to try the NetfliXBMC but it says it does not work on Android, so I didn't waste my time on that. And the last time I tried Kodi to use with our dedicated Plex Server I couldn't see a PQ difference, so I just stuck with Plex as the video playback looks the same to me.

Back to the Netflix app. I will try again when Kodi downloads everything in top notch 1080p or 4K quality, which is all I want. I'm hoping Kodi 16.0 will work better on my 4K media player, maybe I can get streaming to look half decent then.
[Nexus Player Android Development] wizeup881:
You actually should try sideloading the x86 version of Kodi which is on the developer's website. The one you're using works but it is not 86 which is what the NP needs and is not what you're getting from the play store. They also have a configuration app available on play or Aptoide which is an alternative app store. Depending on the show some are in 1080 but many people's TVs are not even 1080. Just a suggestion.
[Nexus Player Android Development] marduk191:
Netflix works fine here, I'm not sure what the issue is.

The sound is a little lower than kodi, but all regular apps are as well. I figured it was my settings
[Nexus Player Android Development] SkOrPn:
I think I fixed Netflix. All I did was uninstall Netflix and then reinstalled the ROM through twrp. Then I reinstalled Netflix, cleared cache, and rebooted. Seems to be running smoothly and very high quality streams. Thanks
[Nexus Player Android Development] nikfam:
Is there a way to fix this pink colour screen -visible during windows transition?
[Nexus Player Android Development] fontong:
So, interesting bug I think I have here. Variable volume worked fine but now all of a sudden when I turn it down it goes all the way down to mute and up goes all the way up to full volume, nothing in between. I didn't flash anything it was just working yesterday and today when I watched something it's doing the mute or full thing. I'm on 20150105 dirty flashed from 20150101

I've been using Hulu, Kodi, Netflix, Youtube and a bluetooth headset i'm not sure if any of that helps

How to get privileges to write on SDCard ?

I tried formatting NTFS and exFat but I can't write over
[Nexus Player Android Development] SkOrPn:
Guys where is the volume control thingy located? lol I must be blind.
[Nexus Player Android Development] fontong:
What do you mean? You need to use a remote or keyboard that has volume controls the nexus remote does not.
[Nexus Player Android Development] SkOrPn:
Oh I thought it was a slider in the np ui. I wonder if my harmony will work for volume control
[Nexus Player Android Development] marduk191:
It accepts Bluetooth and USB HID. it may be a good idea to sideboard something that can take advantage of the harmony since it's a programmable device.
[Nexus Player Android Development] fontong:
Hi guys so I think i found the cause of the volume bug being either mute or full and nothing inbetween. I reconnected my bluetooth headset and now volume up and down works as it should. So the bluetooth headset somehow caused the problem. I'll have to play around with connecting disconneting pairing and unpairing to recreate the bug.

---------- Post added at 09:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:45 PM ----------

First thing i tried was simply switching the bluetooth headset off forcing it to disconnect. Audio now comes from the TV speakers but i now have either full volume or mute if I press volume up or down. Reconnecting the headset "fixes" the problem again... Hmmm i dont want to use headphones every time i watch tv. O nexus player why art thou as stubborn as a mule!!
[Nexus Player Android Development] SkOrPn:
Ill find the BT keyboard that goes with that BT dongle and try it. Its an old Logitech diNovo Media Keyboard, very old though.
[Nexus Player Android Development] marduk191:
I have a harmony with Ir, rf, and Bluetooth. It works out. That default Bluetooth remote is too unreliable lol. You won't need any dongles unless it's a wifi/proprietary HID.
[Nexus Player Android Development] SkOrPn:
Yeah I need the dongle. The built-in NP BT refuses to pair with the MX1000 mouse I have. Its the only cordless spare mouse I have to use with it sadly and I really don't want to buy another mouse/kb setup just for the NP. Trying to find a BT remote (or wifi) for my Samsung Galaxy TAB S to see if I can simply use my Tablet as the NP remote, but no luck yet. I quite like the remote the NP came with myself, its very small and simple and I really really like that, kinda like my Roku remotes which I love. Just wish it felt as high quality as my Roku remotes do.

I wonder if there are better 3rd party BT or wifi direct remotes to be found similar to the stock remote with a mic and volume control? And if not, why not?
[Nexus Player Android Development] marduk191:
I'm sure you c find plenty of bt remotes on amazon. As for using your phone, Android tv remote is on google play. None of the official stuff is going to have volume though since the OS isn't supposed to support it. You might need to add some keymaps if they are way different from the MS standard specs. Look in the purenexus repo for examples. They aren't difficult. I use Droid mote for the phones and tablets. It's got a touch pad, game pad, keyboard etc
[Nexus Player Android Development] SkOrPn:
Yeah I will look at some remotes. All I really wanted to do was check to make sure that the volume was at the highest point. I did that earlier using my main PC keyboard K800. Sure enough it was all the way up already but I slid it down and back up anyway.

When I was using the Netflix App on Windows 10 and my amd video card I had to keep the TV volume at 25 and the PC at full. Then I used the drivers to set the equalization so that no sounds were too loud or to soft. Every word was easy to hear without bothering others in other rooms. Now with the NP I have to have the TV up at 40 just to hear what they are saying but other sounds like gun fire, explosions etc are far too loud. Not sure how to solve this issue.
[Nexus Player Android Development] marduk191:
Mine isn't far off from the volume of normal apps/games on the np. It's going to be everything or nothing though lol. On my HTPC I ran around 30 on my receiver where I'm running around 45 now. I'm not sure how helpful it is to know that it's "normal" lol

Edit: on second thought, try an equalizer from the app store
[Nexus Player Android Development] Asitaka:
Overscane

Thanks for the overscan settings and volume and looking inot adding the HAL for videos.

I have one request for the overscan, can you make it allow for more adjustment? I squashed in the sides as much as it allowed, but there is still just a little space hanging off the edge, about the size of a hamburger menu or a capital letter.

Cheers
[Nexus Player Android Development] SkOrPn:
Yeah 30 was about right, or good enough for day use and 40-50 max for live sports. At night I dropped it to 20-25'ish (the TV volume). I never did get a receiver for this TV (its not the living room TV, its my bedroom TV the NP is on) so I just use the built in Sony speakers which are plenty for a small 15' x 15' room (Its a $2500 55" Sony Bravia, so the speakers are actually OK). Wow, all the Air Mice in stock for Android TV I never knew existed, and they all seem to have volume control and menu buttons which I needed. The 6-axis Gyroscopes with built in kb looks really nice. Even found one with a built in microphone and learning feature. That voice search thing is better then I expected and a feature I never used on the Roku in the living room, but find it useful on the stock remote.

You think an equalizer app might have something like Loudness Equalization balancing like Windows does? Hmmm
[Nexus Player Android Development] fontong:
Hi guys I'm still struggling with the volume either max or mute issue but I might just reflash to try to get it to work.

I need your help with something else please. So i bought this simple airmouse

https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/p...hg_KMBZ4WWL_ORV4IWnHd5iMO0LwVNCA=w384-h384-nc

All the buttons work except the back button. Can i remap it? How do i know what command the remote is sending so i can assign that command to back?
[Nexus Player Android Development] QTeknology:
I would remap too...

I want the "back" button assigned to the "right click" mouse button

Actually back button is assigned to "esc" key

[Nexus Player Android Development] prozack1983:
Yes! Thank you for making this!
[Nexus Player Android Development] dhacker29:
I can probably add that. Have you tried just decreasing the timeout in settings?

I can probably look at ordering the apps by last used at some point. Currently I have them set up by priority so they don't move around as much. https://github.com/PureNexus/androi...PureNexusCustomizer/res/values/config.xml#L20
[Nexus Player Android Development] andrep182:
[MENTION=4112553]dhacker29[/MENTION] and co,

wow ... just wow. I have used pure nexus on my nexus 7 and 6, and now you guys popped up for my nexus player?!?! You guys are the shizzle! Since you guys are so awesome and this is a Giving Tuesday, I donated some $$ your way =D

By the way, since this is stock based, can you please confirm if XBOX 360 wired controller would be plug n' play or not, just like the stock ROM? I think so, but just wanna make sure

Thanks!
[Nexus Player Android Development] dfl:
quick question. is there a quick or possible setting i can enable to force apps to rotate to the proper orientation?

edit: also, is anyone having issues uninstalling apps? i cant uninstall anything, just crashes.
[Nexus Player Android Development] Retell:
Hi there,

I'm really new to flashing Android roms, my Nexus Players are my only Android devices. I hunted for about 30 minutes before I figured out that "adb sideload pure_nexus_fugu-6.0-20151130.zip" is how I install the rom and that i need to be in adb install from recovery. I am sure it would help a lot of people if you put this in the OP. Just got it installed and everything seems great so far, thank you so much! :)

---------- Post added at 04:26 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:41 AM ----------

Quick follow up,

I'm getting notstop gapps and google play processes have stopped. Any suggestions?

---------- Post added at 04:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 AM ----------

All good now! Did a reset in settings. So happy thank you so much!
[Nexus Player Android Development] dhacker29:
If the app has portrait hardcoded then no
[Nexus Player Android Development] dhacker29:
Ahh I think it's the CanvasPackageInstaller I'm confirm and upload a new gapps

Edit: Nope I have no issues uninstalling apps. Can you send me a logcat of failed uninstall?
[Nexus Player Android Development] Rektifying:
I am having this same issue as well with uninstalling apps. When I go to an app in settings/apps and try to uninstall it just crashes and doesn't uninstall. However, if I go to an app in the playstore that I already have installed, I can uninstall it fine that way.
[Nexus Player Android Development] dhacker29:
Ok let me try that
[Nexus Player Android Development] morbidj:
I haven't tried "pure recovery" yet but is it similar to the CM variant as far as pressing and holding the bottom buttons?
[Nexus Player Android Development] mtalbert63:
I am by no means a developer, and I have the up most respect for everything that you do. This ROM is awesome. I installed it last night on my Nexus Player.

The process that I used for noobs like me...

Unlocked bootloader using fastboot. (fastboot oem unlock)

Flashed PureNexus recovery. (fastboot flash recovery "purenexusrecoveryname.img")

Reboot Bootloader (fastboot reboot bootloader)

Opened revovery.

Chose sideload through ADB.

Sideloaded Rom (adb sideload romname.zip)

Sideloaded Gapps (adb sideload gapps.zip)

Wipe / Factory Reset (Clears data & cache)

Rebooted & Setup everything including Kodi

Went back to recovery and sideloaded Kodi Mapping zip file. (adb sideload kodimapping.zip)

Hope this helps anyone that struggles to get this thing installed right off the bat... It took me awhile since I have not had to use sideload in a long time.

GREAT JOB! and I look forward to following your ROM!
[Nexus Player Android Development] treezy26:
I'm having issues trying to add an external storage using this. I tried using the format for this device under settings but I don't think it's working properly. Normally I am able to move some apps to it but now I can't. What's the best way to do this?
[Nexus Player Android Development] mtalbert63:
Almost forgot... I have no idea if this is possible, and maybe you could point me to an app or another way... but I would like a way to force close Kodi outside of going to the settings menu. Is there a way that we could close recent apps or something from the leanback launcher?

I was setting everything up last night and had Kodi freeze a couple times.... due to what I was doing on it, not the rom. I thought this would be a really handy addition. Maybe a clear recents app next to the app drawer that you added?

Anyhow great job again!
[Nexus Player Android Development] slothdabski:
I tried using the native external storage in marshmellow, but found the Link2SD app to work much better. I like not only choosing which apps go on external storage, but also which part of the app (data,obb,etc)

---------- Post added at 10:33 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:30 AM ----------

I use greenify with the hibernate button/widget on my launcher. Whenever I want to close all apps or am about to open something thats going to be processor intesive, I just hit the hibernate button before launching. I'm not using the leanback launcher though.
[Nexus Player Android Development] andrep182:
I never tried CM recovery but yes, that's how you navigate in pure recovery
[Nexus Player Android Development] cpuspeed:
ntfs, exfat support?
[Nexus Player Android Development] dhacker29:
yes they "should" both work kernel support is there. Haven't tested.
[Nexus Player Android Development] dennis148:
i like the idea of the rom in general. but switched back to cm 12.1. the washed out colors bug of android 6 is too annoying. also there seemed to be some permission errors. i was not able to uninstall apps (paket installer closed). netflix didnt play videos (just the ones i already watched). browser rashed when starting a download.
[Nexus Player Android Development] PiggySmalls:
[MENTION=4112553]dhacker29[/MENTION], thanks for bringing this to Fugu. I'm now running Pure Nexus on every device I own.
[Nexus Player Android Development] QTeknology:
I did not tried Lollipop ROM (5.0), I always used Marshmallow, but I noticed a lack of black and contrast in videos... so are you saying it's a Marshmallow issue ?

I corrected this on TV settings (contrast/brightness)...

ps.

Anyone had a system popup on lower center screen about "Application is low on memory" ?

I reading about this Marshmallow only message on the web...

[Nexus Player Android Development] baxter006:
Hi just bought a second hand nexus player and was disappointed with the limitations of the stock ROM so tried cyogenmod latest nightly. Would never load past loadings apps screen. So this is second ROM I to tried and really impressed with it. Could the standard play store be added to this? Or would I need to side load apps I've bought via backing up the apk from my phone using something like es file manager.
[Nexus Player Android Development] fontong:
In the first post it has this:

Highly Suggested Gapps - PureNexus Gapps 1-5-16: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24352994023706101

These are the Google apps including the play store just flash the zip! This is the best rom out there by a long shot in my opinion.

Does your volume up and down work properly? Please test and report back.
[Nexus Player Android Development] QTeknology:
You can't have standard playstore if you use the leanback playstore.

You can install other stores like aptoide or amazon app store.

Sorry I misunderstood your post. You het the Android TV play store. You can sideload or install other stores

---------- Post added at 01:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:22 PM ----------

So does anyone else have issues with volume up and down and have a fix. I really dont feel like completely wiping again /sigh
[Nexus Player Android Development] fontong:
Found a workaround for the volume problem. It's a hardware workaround so not ideal. Connected a Bluetooth receiver to my speakers and basically playing all sound through Bluetooth, now volume up and down works.
[Nexus Player Android Development] SkOrPn:
Thought you might like to know that it must be this ROM that has the low volume. I installed the Full Android ROM and put the volume to max and it went back to the way I remember it. The voices are easy to hear again and at low volumes such as 25 and 30'ish on my TV. With this ROM I had to have it up to 40's or 45 just to hear voices, and even then it was hard. And any higher and ambient sounds would just be far too loud. Still though this is the best ROM I think. Full Android is very hard to setup as a TV device. I had to install app after app just to get things working as expected. The Overscan thing was an all afternoon event on the Full Android rom as it has no built in wonderful Overscan app, like this ROM does. I made a backup of this Pure Nexus ROM because I like it so much, but I will probably keep the Full Android setup just for the option to use my own live wallpaper and for the improved sound. I noticed that on full Android the volume at default was only 60% of the slider. I wonder if that means this ROM (or Android TV sources) is setting 60% as FULL volume? Hmm interesting thought as that would surely explain it? The volume at default 60% on full android matches what I was hearing on this ROM, lol. Sliding the slider to 100% made it sound like I remember it on the PC.
[Nexus Player Android Development] marduk191:
So you are requesting volume fixes and live wallpaper for [MENTION=4112553]dhacker29[/MENTION] lol

When I get some more time off I'll update my build and see what kind of quirks to mention
[Nexus Player Android Development] SkOrPn:
Oh no not at all. It never even occurred to me to request those fixes as I didn't know it was broken in the first place. I just thought that is the way it is and I have to accept it as such. Not sure Live Wallpaper support can be added to Android TVs launcher anyway.

I'm just stating, making known, what I discovered when I tried the Full Marshmallow ROM, nothing more, and I did mention that this is a fantastic ROM. :good:
[Nexus Player Android Development] marduk191:
If it needs work, this is the place to throw around ideas lol. If it's not possible then it is what it is.
[Nexus Player Android Development] SkOrPn:
tbh, I wish someone like Nova or Go etc would release their own Android TV launchers with full custom settings to make rooted Android TVs more custom. Might try TOP TV as it has good ratings.
[Nexus Player Android Development] nFiniti:
I have Apex Launcher installed. You can install your own launcher, they just don't look like how you wanted which is why I tried warning you. You should install Xbmc launcher and setup Kodi for tons of cool functions. Like PleXbmc. Free TV, etc. You can still access all android apps.

Anyway, browser downloads not working? Without a hub and backing things up ahead of time on pen drive is annoying.
[Nexus Player Android Development] marduk191:
Browser downloads should work now.

As for launchers, I use kodi with aeon as a main launcher. To add an app drawer just make a shortcut to android:// in the main menu. I like some of the Android apps better than the kodi plug-ins as well. Just add it as a favorite and add it to a submenu lol. Custom widgets are better than the crap in the ATV launcher anyway.
[Nexus Player Android Development] nFiniti:
I use PleXbmc with Kodi and Amber with Xbmc Launcher, but adding things to Kodi are hard to do with downloading and adding to pen drive. So just update the Rom. No need for a fresh install.

I'm not used to using Kodi very well, but my main function is plex, and secondary is gaming stuff. Which I know I can just go to favorites and app drawer for othet stuff or favorite and widget the favorite.

The for the fix. I'll check it out later. I just started using Kodi on my Np so thats why I mentioned it
[Nexus Player Android Development] marduk191:
I don't run a complicated hardware setup. Flash the ROM and Gapps, plug in a usb OTG thumb drive, let it work as internal storage in setup and be done lol.

I use a zaggkeys keyboard and the stock controller for most things. Family time is when I drag out a harmony remote. And really Droidmote can replace all of the hid stuff if you don't have anything laying around or prefer a software based solution.

Either way that fixes storage space and so far dirty flashing has been done by installing twrp and using the twrp app to flash updates. Make sure you use the purenexus recovery during the first install if you don't have a usb OTG hub and a kb/mouse
[Nexus Player Android Development] nFiniti:
Oh no im setup. I have otg and hubs and pen drives but in the living room no. Just hate having to pull kb and mouse off and...well i hate touching the nexus lol. Would rather have mind control.
[Nexus Player Android Development] marduk191:
That was the point of my setup, I don't like to feel like I'm working in there lol. I don't know how well it works with a remote, but you can sideload plex client through es file Explorer and eliminate a lot of your mess probably
[Nexus Player Android Development] nFiniti:
Plex comes built in. But as for control i have a harmony, i hate the np remote. Right now i have PleXBMC working flawless. How does sideloading work... ive never done it. I just connect pen drives, idk why bt share doesnt work. That would help with small files. Like kodi addon files that are small.
[Nexus Player Android Development] marduk191:
Oh so it's a different build just for plex. I assumed it was pure nexus. If you run es file Explorer it has a send button in the menu. Just open it on the device and your phone/tablet. Then select a file, select menu, send, wait for it to find the device, accept it on the other. Everything has to be on the same network, so use wifi
