I've done some searching but haven't found an answer. I got an HDHomeRun and I can watch channels on my Nexus Player, but I can't find a way to stop them. Play/pause does nothing, and hitting Home just leaves the channel playing in the background. Is there any way to stop live channels?
The only way I've found is to just force stop it.
Yes, enter any application, even settings. The purpose of live channels app is to provide a seamless TV experience, until you open another app using audio, just like GoogleTV did.
As these are live streams, there is no ability to pause and play at this moment. The video will play in the background as well. If you open another app, that will stop the video stream.
Disable the live channels app in settings.
On the Home screen of the NP, pressing the Play/Pause button will stop the stream.
