Download it from here - http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=...id=1876039
Install it as you did 14.0 and overwrite it.

I have my new Google Nexus Player running Kodi with all the addons perfectly.
I got mine to replace my ATV2.
It runs Kodi much smother and streaming is much better due to the AC network.
Side loading Kodi was easy Especially if you have a USB keyboard mouse compo that will work. (micro usb)
You can load Chrome and Gmail just like a phone/tablet.
The only down side is the remote feels cheap. Works just fine but feels like its going to break.
I give it two thumbs up.

What version of Kodi x86 or arm are you running? Are you using any advanced settings XML?

I am using the settings below on 14.1 x86 (see link for download) http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=213108 and it works very well. The cachemembuffersize 0 setting writes everything to the SD flash which on the Nexus Player is very fast, and since there is only 1GB of ram. I also use advanced task manager to clear apps before launching kodi. I stream over wifi AC 5GHZ and it works well.

<advancedsettings>
<network>
<buffermode>1</buffermode>
<cachemembuffersize>0</cachemembuffersize>
<readbufferfactor>10</readbufferfactor>
</network>
</advancedsettings>

You must have version 15 and you are trying to install 14.1. You either can stick with what you have or do a clean install of 14.1 and re-install the repository and add-ons you use.

If it makes sense to you, "adb -r -d <apk file>" enables you to downgrade.

I'm on 14.0 right now but it's the arm version I believe. I'm trying to get the x86 14.1 most recent installed.

Probably no other choice that to deinstall, then

I kinda figured thanks for all the input though I'll just have to do a fresh install this weekend. What's the best way to clear out all of the cache and settings folders and everything that's generated when you install?
Reply
De-installation clears everything Wink

Arm or X86?
