This is awesome to hear that it's working! It would be awesome to see a fully working version of Kodi for Android TV released even if it was unofficial but an official version would be better.

I do like its home screen UI over Amazon's.(2014-11-07, 22:46)hdmkv Wrote: Can you test speed via USB ethernet? Curious how fast.
I see about 80Mb/s with a http://support.linksys.com/en-us/support...rs/USB300M
as reported by netperf -tTCP_MAERTS running to a netperf server running on my fileserver.
Notes
1) this is a 10/100 adapter
2) this USB adapter is plugged into a wireless bridge (with antennas, so it gets a far better signal than the nexus)
3) this is the same speed reported by the same version of netperf running on my SageTV HD300 box, which is plugged into the same wireless bridge.
4) the HD300 reported 94Mb/s when I lived in my old house with a hard wired ethernet jack by the TV. So the wireless bridge is costing something.

does anyone else with the nexus player experience crashes during video play? and is there any special playback settings i should be messing with? I'm using default right now.

Need to disable Mediacodec from what I have read else where. Enable expert settings and then its under acceleration.
