I just bought a Google Nexus Player from Walmart yesterday after missing out on the Target clearance. I've been using WDTV players (3 generations worth) for my streaming and more importantly, .mkv playback needs (along with info gathering/scraping with the latest generation).
I was impressed at how responsive the player is polished looking, but Kodi does not show up in the Play Store for me either. Looks like I'll be rooting mine for sure, which it appears I'd need to do anyway to be able to connect my 2TB external USB drive (will probably get a powered HUB and connect that drive, a bluetooth keyboard/mouse combo, and a USB to LAN dongle so I can stream easier (120Mbps internet, but WiFi clearly isn't getting all of that like it was on the ethernet connected WDTV Live player).

Has anybody successfully been able to bitstream Dolby TrueHD and DTS-MA with this yet? I searched the thread and I see hypotheticals but nobody actually confirming that indeed it works (and without converting to PCM first; i.e. your AVR receives an actual bitstreamed signal.)

I have a nexus player running 6.0 with Kodi installed from the Play Store.
I'm streaming a blu-ray remux file I made over 802.11ac wifi without any stuttering (surprisingly). I can also see that Kodi switched the framerate down to 24hz for playback, great!
However, the remux has DTS-HDMA audio. With passthrough enabled, I only get DTS. With passthrough disabled, I can see my receiver get multichannel LPCM.
My question is two parts: Is there a way to get DTS-HDMA passthrough? If not, how do I know if the LPCM is created from the full DTS-HDMA audio stream and not just the DTS core?
I searched through this thread (among other places) and I feel like most of the information is outdated now with the release of android 6.0.

Has anybody noticed that exiting Kodi on the Nexus Player takes a long longer than it does on an ARM tablet or phone?

Hi Everyone. I have read all 45 pages and I didn't see the question or answer for my issues. I'm still a newbe to this so here goes......
I have the NP running the latest version of Kodi with no configuration changes. I have Comcast WIFI and my speed tests look good.
Here is the issue:
1. When trying to load certain movies (HQ or higher) at first the screen goes black to begin with (I assume it is caching the video) then after a few minutes I'll get the message the my cache is full and the movie cancels. How can this be corrected?
Again, I've not rooted this unit or done anything other than plug it in and load Kodi.
Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Yes there is and its up to Google to fix it in the Firmware itself. You need to voice your request with them, it has nothing to do with Kodi.
This is very unlikely to happen when you have competing devices from Amazon and Apple that also do not support 24p video sync.
