New volume adjustment doesn't work. I get the volume slider, but the volume isn't altered at all when playing with it, both on Netflix and kodi. Anybody else? Using the volume controls on the Logitech k400
[Nexus Player Android Development] naruto.ninjakid:
Yeah I get that to. Tried to move fast to adjust it but it disappears
[Nexus Player Android Development] SkOrPn:
One question please. I did a search in this thread and found zero results.

1. Can regular Android apps work, such as my PIA VPN client? My stupid ISP throttles both Netflix and YouTube. So, without connecting using my VPN I get maximum of 240p on my 55" TV, but as soon as I use my VPN I get immediately 1080p and it stays there permanently. This is on a 60/5 bonded DSL connection. So, I must use a decent VPN service for any streaming. I can even do 4K from YouTube, but if Im not connected to the VPN it barely manages 720p if I'm lucky.

So, VPN using my Private Internet Access account is a must if I buy this device and use this ROM.

2. Can I install my own live wallpaper? I like using Planets Pack 2.0, so just curious about that as well. Thanks
[Nexus Player Android Development] easy_mac:
Pia works for me, little awkward to use because its sideways (meanwhile my shield corrects the orientation) and difficult without a mouse, but doable
[Nexus Player Android Development] SkOrPn:
Interesting. So the PIA icon is sideways, or the entire app window? is that what you meant? And I have a mouse so not worried about that. I plan on using both the mouse/keyboard and the remote. Would love a really nice live Space wallpaper though, or a video of the Falcon 9 1st stage landing in HD.

EDIT: Never mind about the wallpaper question. I'm just going to assume that Android TV allows live wallpapers because of a video I just seen on Youtube.
[Nexus Player Android Development] naruto.ninjakid:
The whole app will be sideways. It doesn't seem to respect orientation but it did that on my normal tablet as well.
[Nexus Player Android Development] marduk191:
I use an app named Rotate Screen Orientation http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2331514 to manage orientation. It works as long as the app isn't locked to a specific orientation. I suspect this one is though,considering it is sideways on your tablet. Still a very handy tool for using sideloaded apps on the nplayer though.
[Nexus Player Android Development] SkOrPn:
PIA isn't sideways on my Galaxy TAB S though.
[Nexus Player Android Development] marduk191:
Then try that app. The problem is that not all apps will go to landscape mode (correctly) on AndroidTV. If you force landscape then they have no choice if the code is even moderately recent.
[Nexus Player Android Development] pats87:
Exfat not working either. Any other ideas?
[Nexus Player Android Development] SkOrPn:
Oh boy, I did not want to see any reports like that. I have already purchased the 32gb SanDisk Extreme just for this NP and planned on using it as internal storage. Try formatting to ext4 (and F2FS) if you can just to see what happens.

Same as above.
[Nexus Player Android Development] pats87:
Ext4 no good either.
[Nexus Player Android Development] SkOrPn:
Are you using FolderMount from google play store, or some other way to try and access it?
[Nexus Player Android Development] pats87:
I wouldn't have thought I needed a separate app as mounting the drive is built into the rom? I tried stickmount (the same app I would have used before) and still the same result. Drive mounts, but as read only.
[Nexus Player Android Development] carbanm:
I can't write to my external 1tb, thought it was a problem with FTP or something but reading here, it's likely not. I tried all available formatting options.

Edit: I'm also unsure if kodi is able to update the contents of a library once changed on a secondary device, as it seems to have problems.

Edit 2: When I lose my connection(Router/ISP problems) and it regains, most apps work just fine, but things like google music and the recommendations at the top of the leanback launcher stop working until a hard reboot.

Guys I'm experiencing random reboots when playing games.

My kids play crossy road and rayman and it reboots sometimes.

I don't know when it will happen, but I think it has to do something with ram management.

Like is not flushing and keeping the other games-apps on memory, then it reboots when it can't handle more.

Any tips on what to do about this.
[Nexus Player Android Development] SkOrPn:
Install another game that looks graphically intense and play it for a while. See if it also reboots. If it does my guess is your device is over heating. I would remove the crappy tim they use a replace with fresh AS5 or something to that nature.
[Nexus Player Android Development] slothdabski:
i've had this happens when watching netflix for a while. It was stop and the device will soft-reboot
[Nexus Player Android Development] QTeknology:

Wiped, factory reset, clean install. Kodi crashes even without sideloading the zip. Perfect otherwise but Kodi is essential. Any help?
[Nexus Player Android Development] joser916:
This happens to me as well.

So far the only way I got Kodi to work was to use tvmc but it uses kodi 14.2

Yeah I know that's old but hey it works until someone can get the latest Kodi to work.

Here is the link

http://www.tvaddons.ag/tvmc-android/

Use spinztv build, only because it's a smaller file size build and not to cluttered up like other builds.

Enjoy.
[Nexus Player Android Development] fontong:
Oh dear, i will restore my 5.1.1 backup then. Also some feedback on the variable volume, i tried chromecasting youtube to the new years build and all was good but changing the volume on my phone resulted in the volume slider appearing but the volume level did not move, it remained at max.
[Nexus Player Android Development] marduk191:
Make sure you update to 6.0.1stock before you run any custom 6.0.1 ROMs. Then do your normal wipes and install. We are building for the 6.0.1 binaries.
[Nexus Player Android Development] fontong:
So strange, I restored my factory 5.1.1 backup where kodi worked perfectly before. It now crashes in the same way as the pure rom!!! What the hell, i wiped everything except internal storage and restored, how can this be? Kodi worked at the time when I made the backup.

---------- Post added at 09:11 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:10 AM ----------

K ill go to stock 6.0.1 first and see if i have any luck today.
[Nexus Player Android Development] fontong:
I'm such a Noob. I locked the bootloader, unlocked again flashed factory 6.0.1 then pureNexus. Now Kodi works perfectly. Only problem I have now is that the volume doesnt adjust when chromecasting it just shows the slider at max. I suppose normal adjustment from a remote when not in chromecast mode might work but i'll test that later. Can you enable adjustment of volume during chromecast as well please, pretty please, pretty pretty please. And happy new year!!!!
[Nexus Player Android Development] fontong:
K so variable volume works when adjusting Kodi using the Kore remote app. So it's just chromecast volume that is still fixed then.
[Nexus Player Android Development] marduk191:
Yea, old loader firmware was a noob move lol. Formula is: graphics or radio issue = update. bootloops and random bugs that op won't waste time on = wipe cache and user data( bad userdata/config from a previous firmware ). As far as cast volume goes it's not handled yet according to the repo.

Quick side note: lacking the need for Android pay, or banking stuff, there probably isn't a good reason to relock this device unless you are a new tinkerer and are afraid of messing up the bootloader partition
[Nexus Player Android Development] jacoghi:
Volume working on new build, kodi is perfect as well, basically no issues whatsoever.

Yes you can go into settings/Storage and format as internal storage, then migrate data over. Subsequently all apps installed will go to the USB/HDD.

I would disable home button function that starts my TV and my avr.

I've a k400 and when I click home button key my TV turn on or switch automatically on hdmi input.

Then my AVReceiver do the same.

I don't want to disable all CEC control, I would only disable that sort of wakeup for home button

Can you help me?

Not a bug on this rom. You either have a bad modification, or bad app data. The first thing I would look at is clearing appdata and cache
[Nexus Player Android Development] SUer:
Maybe because I'm using a 60gb SSD Pop Drive as app storage via a 3 port USB hub with Ethernet? Not sure? But I've gone back to stock 6.0.1 and no issues whatsoever with Kodi using this same setup. Bit confused really. I think it's more likely the Pop Drive that was the issue, but I need it and it's working perfectly even with The Wookie installed on the latest Alpha version of Kodi on stock.

I'll check back in a few weeks and have another go then.

[I am planning to install PureNexus but at the moment I don't really have a need for it. I've been watching this forum very closely, though. I was running dhacker's CM12.1 before, but switched to stock so I could get Marshmallow, mostly for the bluetooth headphone capabilities].
[Nexus Player Android Development] Darriousx:
I've searched this thread and through the forums, etc but I've come up with nothing. My device is seen in bootloader mode but as soon as I go into recovery to sideload the ROM it can't see the Nexus Player.

Any suggestions?
[Nexus Player Android Development] nickhaven:
After you are in recovery, are you "short pressing" the button to get to "side load via USB" (wording is slightly different but I am watching a movie). After you select that option by "long pressing" that option, you should be able to run the sideload commands.

If that rewording doesn't help, is your computer giving you a warning or error? Screenshots please.

Kodi Zero Cache to External Flash Drive

I want to be able to cache in Kodi so that I can cache an entire video but don't want to wear out the 8gb internal memory.

Using the below Advanced setting file:

buffermode 1

cachemembuffersize (at least several GBs)

readbufferfactor 20

Or

using the Zero Cache feature possibly?

So if I migrate my data to an external 32gb flash drive would it only be using the 32gb flash drive or would it be using the internal 8gb of memory?

Any advice on this would be much appreciated, thanks

1st time flashing custom rom on Nexus Player.

Hey guys..

I'm currently running Pure Nexus Project on my Nexus 6 and I think it's the best rom around. I bought a Nexus player really cheap from Target a couple weeks back and I have unlocked bootloader and have root. So now of course I want to flash Pure Nexus Project on to my player. I tried a week ago with no luck. Zips were in TWRP and I tried to flash like I would on my phone. Now I see a Pure Nexus Recovery is available... I guess I'm confused, but what do I do with the recovery zip and would I just flash the rom and gapps from inside of it? Sorry for the long post, but frustration is settling in. I just need a step by step on getting the Zips on to my Nexus player and flashing them. Please someone help without busting my balls. Lol thank you :mad:

Does anyone have an issue casting from the photos app to the nexus player? It says it's casting but just a black screen shows. Casting from everything else works fine, any ideas?
[Nexus Player Android Development] SomeGuyInOz:
I've just installed the latest build of PureNexus and so far it's working perfectly :) I was running CM12.1 for quite some time and recently went back to stock, upgrading to Marshmallow, mostly so I could use my bluetooth headphones with my Nexus Player (Lollipop and below do not support bluetooth audio). I tried to do a dirty flash first, but as expected most apps were crashing. So I did a factory restore, reinstalled my apps and now everything is running very nicely! Thank you dhacker :)

Maybe most people already know this, but I was surprised when I tried to flash the recovery image that it just didn't seem to stick. I flashed TWRP, rebooted (to system), then rebooted to recovery, but TWRP was not there - just a dead Android (ie: stock recovery). So I tried again with the PureNexus recovery. Same thing again. I eventually realised that after flashing the recovery image, I had to power off then boot into the bootloader by holding the button on the Nexus Player during boot, then select RECOVERY and boot into it from there. Once in TWRP recovery, I could make it stick (by accepting the prompt to allow read/write access). I don't know why I hadn't experienced that before. The stock system must overwrite the recovery image on each boot.
[Nexus Player Android Development] nickhaven:
I know you have been over this but I just did a full wipe with the factory image, flashed everything as in the instructions (in the op), and my volume buttons and volume softkeys are wonky.

If I have it at full blast, and use my Logitech k700 to turn it down, the audio is muted and the on screen slider is at mute.

If I show the on screen volume slider and move the volume half way down, the volume is still at full blast (even though it shows half). It seems to only have the on and off audio for me.

I maybe missing something but idk what it is. This didn't seem to be an issue in your cm build or other ROMs.

For now I will keep the TV remote near by, but thought I should report this. Love your work and love this ROM.
[Nexus Player Android Development] fourtwentybuddy:
dave2metz

I was in the same situation last week - here are the instructions I followed - easier than expected :)

Reboot Bootloader

fastboot reboot bootloader

OR

plug in the power while holding the bottom button

Once in bootloader short press bottom button once until you see recovery option then long press the bottom button.

I used TWRP to flash it. I did a full wipe in TWRP, placed the ROM and Gapps Zip's in the TWRP folder via micro USB cable hooked to my computer with es file explorer, then installed the zip *need mouse to swipe to flash

OR

Once in recovery short press until you get to ADB then long press to get to the ADB sideload screen.

Sideload Rom (adb sideload pure_nexus_fugu-6.0.1-2016-xxxx.zip) where xxxx is the date of the rom you are flashing

Sideload Gapps (adb sideload purenexus-gapps-mm-x86-leanback-2016xxxx-signed.zip)

Short press until you get to Wipe data/factory Reset then long press (Clears data & cache) Select reboot now

To Root

Boot (not flash) the root image

"fastboot boot root.img"

- Open SuperSU and let it update binaries

This ROM is just perfect. How you got this so damn nice as compared to the stock Android TV experience is just nothing short of WOW. THANK YOU! Especially thanks for the screen sizing thing, that was VERY annoying to see most of the outer text cut off on my 1080p TV. Now if only I could see the Recovery text, lol.

Two questions I have though.

1. Should I install SuperSU 2.66? (still on stock SuperSU that came with ROM) I also have SuperSU Pro license, will that be OK to install?

2. How do I install normal android apps such as Planets Pack 2.0 Live Wallpaper, and ES File Explorer, etc? I read about SideLoad Launcher, so I assume I simply "adb sideload app.apk" and then use Sideload Launcher to access such apps? If this is the case, does ADB work via wireless? Or do I have to bother with connecting a usb cable to the PC every time I want an app?

Again thanks for this wonderful ROM. :good:
