What I did:
- installed the command line adb (android debug bridge)
- downloaded latest kodi nightly for intel from http://mirrors.xbmc.org/nightlies/android/x86/
- connected via adb to the nexus player:
adb connect IP_ADDRESS_OF_NEXUS_PLAYER:4321, eg "adb connect 192.168.200.201:4321"
- installed the apk via "adb install kodi-20141111-109f9b2-master-x86.apk"
I *might* have had to follow some menu entry in the settings of the nexus player to allow 3rd party apps. I don't remember.
There are instructions a few pages back from somebody who did it in a more gui friendly way.
