I purchased two Nexus Players today. I was unable to get kodi 15.1 from the play store connecting to my mythtv pvr backend when used with the Nexus Players as frontends.
Without diagnosing the reason and after trial and error, I had to do the following.
1. Update the Nexus Player to Android 5.1..1 via the normal update facility.
2. Install ES File Explorer on the Nexus Player
3. Download the latest kodi release candidate ( currently kodi-15.2-Isengard_rc3-armeabi-v7a.apk ) from kodi.tv and save to my dropbox
4. Add dropbox as a cloud network location in ES File Explorer
5. Use EF File Explorer to navigate to and install the kodi .apk from my dropbox
( note - I am running mythbuntu 14.04 in a parallels virtual machine on my recent desktop Mac and performance is surprisingly good. I have two HDHomeRun devices providing 4 tuners in total )
