I first got this app for my FireTV and loved it. Developer now created an android tv version compatible with nexus player.
It allows you to use your stock remote as a mouse. Root is required on the nexus player.
No brainer for $0.99 as it eliminates the need for a separate bluetooth mouse or trackpad.
IMPORTANT FYI: The mouse function works WITHIN apps but not on the home screen!
Link and author's description:
Mouse Toggle [ROOT]
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.fluxii.android.mousetoggleforandroidtv#hw-item-401
Add a mouse mode to the stock remote control or gamepad for Android TV.
NOTE: ROOT access is REQUIRED for this app to function.
Features:
Works just like a regular mouse that can click, long click, wheel up, wheel down, and drag.
Simple to toggle between regular remote and mouse modes.
Requirements:
1.) Android TV device(see below for supported devices).
2.) Stock / original remote control or game controller.
This actually work surprisingly well and includes an leanback icon, although I kind of wish we could hide things like this from the lean back launcher itself...

I agree with you on the leanback launcher icon. I know there needs to be a way to launch the app, but I hate scrolling through the list of apps when I know I won't be starting it up all the time.
Just tried the app. No go on Android TV 6.0. It kept on saying starting but sat there. Ended up asking for a refund. May try it again later when bugs are worked out.
Sounds cool but I will stick to my Logitech K400 Plus. I'm in and out of chrome on my nexus player anyways. However, this would have been helpful for me with HBO Go when it had to be sideloaded. Now it is available on the app store though so remote works great.

Which method did you use to root your Nexus Player? I have restored the device via the factory images(https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images?hl=en#fugu) and have used both methods(post #1 & #2) in the following link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/supersu/wip-android-6-0-marshmellow-t3219344
I flashed the factory images before each attempt to root and tried each method a couple of times. The app worked great during all 4 tests so hopefully we can discover what is different with your setup.
Thank you
Bought this for my fire tv and it was probably the most useful app ive ever bought for the price. On NP Im really just playing around trying to find a good use for the device. Right now im using android M rom (no leanback UI) and stock remote is useless. DOES this app work with the custom roms?

Still waiting... I finally broke down and forked over the cash for droidmote. Its a good app but doesnt replace a physical remote imho. You want to be able to just feel for the buttons when your watching tv. A phone or tablet isnt the same. Good rom. Itd be great if the remote worked.

Shouldn't be any conflict. The double tap of the play / pause button does have to be pretty quick(~400ms).
I would recommend opening the app and then toggling the enable switch off and then on to see if that helps. Did the SuperSU app prompt you for permission initially?

I did. And just took your advice and toggled on/off. Also rebooted just to see. But its working for you on 6.0? Thats strange. I just get normal remote functionality. Tried it in netflix where its needed but no cursor appears. I do have wifi keyboard attached. Would that cause issues? Doubt it since i quit droidmote and turn off keyboard. Ill keep trouble shooting but never had any issues with your app on aftv (also with wifi keyboard so yea thats not a factor)

Other devices won't cause any conflicts so you are ok there. Just to confirm a couple of items: The Nexus Player is rooted? Was the app granted root access and is it listed in the SuperSU app?
If you want to email me that may be easier.

I just heard from another user that had the same issue. Apparently the Nexus Player remote was somehow displayed as 'Spike' instead of 'Nexus Remote' in the Bluetooth paired device settings. They were able to resolve the issue by un-pairing the remote and pairing it again which correctly identified the remote as 'Nexus Remote'.
Any chance your remote is also named 'Spike'?

I came across this app at the market that was just put up today called DroidLu.
This app will allow you to watch Hulu on our SGT 10.1 without needing any flash hack! It costs 99 cents I would have paid more for this since it made it possible for me to watch Hulu! Now 3.2 has come to our tablet previous hacks don't work.
I can confirm it works!
Currently on Tsk650 V5 GT-P7510
Note that Hulu only works when you run it through Droidlu app. And make sure that you have latest flash player 11
Schuweeeeet ill try it out later tonight

It's barely an app. It's very difficult to scroll on the progress bar, very difficult to adjust the volume. The worst part is that the return button doesn't take you to the previous page. So you have to start all over again when you click on the wrong button. If you hit the lock button, you also have to start all over again after unlocking. So, if you want to want the show from beginning to end without interruption, without any misclicks, without jumping forward or adjusting volume, this is the app you want.

Any one else?
You can get hulu to work using the old method. You just have to remove flash, copy the old .so to /data/data/com.adobe.flashplayer, reinstall flash from the market, then use a hex editor to change the plugin variable AND to WIN. I am running galaxy task 5.3 and I just watched Castle without any problems.

My experience today:
Search the market for "DroidLu" and it will bring up an app called Flash Video Browser by Dan Lockard for just under a buck. I just found out about it on droidforum, installed it on my Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 and it works! I'm watching Modern Family right now!

I am so happy, im sitting here watching sports center on my Tablet (Zenithink C93 ZTPad)
When I tried to use live TV feature with the App in google play it says that my device is not supported. This one works perfect on my 10" tablet.
now im really happy. because this is much nicer to watch on than my 4.5" phone screen.
The next thing I need to figure out is how I can watch the optimum app on the road. (not on my home router). They say to use VPN, I can see that working, however Id like a simpler option, if at all possible.
Anyone have any ideas?
Finally Cable vision releases it! Two years late...lol
Inserted 20¢ for the first three minutes
uh oh.... problem
So it works fine when u install and run it first time. once u close out of the app and restart it goes back to saying "not supported". Why is this? is there anything we can do to make this work. I think it might be VERY inconvienent to constantly uninstalling/reinstalling everytime i have to open and close this app.
any suggestions ppl?
EDIT:: Ok i didnt read thoroughly the first post. that i have to clear the data everytime. i guess that will have to do then. not the most inconveient scenario. i just wish optimum didnt have to be such a **** about it. they obviously have some sort of kickback from Apple because they have supported apple devices including ipad for years before the Android version was released.
and considering the EARLIEST android version of optimum app works fine with my tablet, it is obvious they are holding us back on purpose.

I am not specifically familiar with the app/game/program that you are referring to, so if what I am about to suggest turns out to be complete rubbish, please feel free to ignore it completely. Here goes anyway, just in case it might turn out to somehow be useful !!
I sideloaded Better Terminal Emulator (a GREAT app & also one of my most favorite root-aware apps !!). Whenever I would start it up, it would run just fine, as long as I did *not* attempt to open the KFHDX keyboard. As soon as the built-in keyboard was activated, BTE would immediately crash & close. As you might guess, any terminal emulator program is basically worthless without keyboard input !! However (so this is where you might want to try the same thing, if "keyboard" applies in your specific case), when I use an external BT keyboard, BTE continues to run as great as it always has . . . problem averted !! [ now if I could just get my root access back with the latest formware ]
HTH !!
Good luck & have fun !!

With stock AMZ FW, you can also run into issues with some apps that use any DL service other than AMZ. Which is why many paid Play Store apps will force close, like GTA SA, which will fail to open or crash unless you use the KF version.

I'm currently running CM11 but can't seem to find any modified apks or zips working with Teamviewer remote control. The rest of Teamviewer works great, can see the screen, remove apps/processes, etc. Just no remote. If this one isn't working anyone else get any of the VNC remotes working so I can see/control my phone from a computer?

I've used VNC hundreds of times before without any issues. Its paid so i can't give you the apk but here is the playstore link. There are other free versions but they require root (this version uses a root method also which i use) but i don't know if you have root or not.

Hmm, that's too bad. I tried it, the server refuses to start on the phone, even though the PC app see's the phone just fine and issues commands for it to start. Phone is rooted, CM11 Unified ROM, server just won't start. Strange.

Agreed, there are a ton of them. Tried about 8 of them, almost all completely fail, closest I got was one that would open a window on my PC of the phone screen, but it was all fuzzy, looked like how the cable company would scramble stations years ago. Tried a few different resolutions and orientations, at a bit of a loss at this point. Got TeamViewer to show the screen but cant interact with it. Grrr!

No root, if you are running on stock OS you need to sideload the tablet version because (at least in my case) the phone app won't show the remote button. Performance is very much ok
The FireTV version of the Slingbox player works the best IMHO because it supports full functionality of the Shield remotes and does not require use of the virtual remote the way that the Phone and Tablet apps do. My guess is because it was designed for a non-touch screen interface. It can be tricky to acquire but I side-loaded that apk and it works great at home and in the car. Just a suggestion!

The FireTV version of the Slingbox player works the best IMHO because it supports full functionality of the Shield remotes and does not require use of the virtual remote the way that the Phone and Tablet apps do. My guess is because it was designed for a non-touch screen interface. It can be tricky to acquire but I side-loaded that apk and it works great at home and in the car. Just a suggestion!

Ya same question...i tried to run the firetv apk pulled straight from the unit...would not start.
OMG i take it back...i guess something changed in the Nvidia shield code or on the back end of the app because i installed the version of slingplayer for firetv i have and it worked! loaded up just fine.
Have to do more testing but very nice stuff!
Anyone got a link to the Slingbox apk please?
Here are 3 versions, I have one that is untouched, one that has the amazon dependency removed, and one that has the amazon dependency removed and leanback code added. I still can't figure out what isn't loading properly at launch to handle the login process. I think amazon might have a deeper integration blocking the app from fully loading.

I'm running 3.0.3 right now and it let's me login just fine. I can't test my streaming because my slingback is offline right now but it's working. I did not change anything in the app.

Are you using one of the apks that I posted? Also what setup do you have, I'm running lollipop and all I get is a blank screen.
No I got mine when I pulled it from my mother's fire stick. My version does not have the _63 after it. I'm running marshmallow but it worked on lollipop also.

none of the attached apks work, anyone else got the Fire TV version working? (who doesn't currently own a fire TV)
I'm also looking for a working version of SlingPlayer for the shield tv. I don't have an amazon fire I tried all the attached apk's and none worked. I'm able to install them all and the versions in first link crash after logging in and trying to watch. The other version by Jerlash says I'm not the owner of the app so can't use it. The tablet version works decently but only with mouse and keyboard and when viewing the remote it only shows the top half of it.
Yeah there hasn't been a solid solution as of yet. The native Fire TV apk crashes after logging in, my hacked versions have this same issue.
Any news on this?
Any news?
this is kinda ridiculous and likely being held back to promote the abysmal Sling TV offering
Just so everyone is aware i got the to install and run on my shield tv but it would not show any video...just crash. it is silly that an android app built from the amazon fire tv that would clearly work on this box is blocked by some hooks in the apk... hope they release an app soon or i may just pickup a cheap fire stick just for sling
Now they removed the ability to cast from my phone to Android TV, I f*cking hate sling!
