It is kind of a weird question. I want to use the headphone jack in the shield tv's remote to listen to shows at night when people are asleep. I have a nexus player though, which on lollipop did not support that functionality. Does anyone know if that is doable on 6.0?
Thanks!
I don't think this is possible (I could be wrong) since
the Shield Remote uses wifi-direct rather than Bluetooth
.
Edit: I am wrong that the Shield Remote uses wifi-direct.
I am interested in this as well. Although nexusplayer is a very decent device, the remote feels very cheap. If the remote works well I am going to buy it
Have you guys figured this out yet? I want to buy a nexus player but I also really want the Nvidia remote specifically for the headphone capabilities
Not sure if you ever got your answer to this, but it is do-able if you're running Android 6.0 on your Nexus Player.
I just paired the Shield remote and plugged in a simple set of earbuds and the audio was immediately cut from the TV and started coming through the earbuds.
I just got it. You can't use headphones with the shield remote and the nexus player unless you are already deaf; there is no volume control and it is permanently set at max. Also, I can't get voice search to work currently.
