What's new
No one is flashing?
So I flashed the O preview on my nexus player, I can't for the life of me find a difference between it and android 7.1.2 (developer preview). I'm not a developer, and I'm sure there are some under the hood changes but aesthetically and as far a functionality is concerned I can't find any differences, even the apps I use (Hulu, Netflix, YouTube, and kodi) all function normally and I haven't had any crashes.
While I am a dev, I have no need for ATV dev. I made the mistake of installing the Nougat dev preview. Take heed: if you're not an ATV dev and don't feel like doing a factory reset on your NP in an hour, wait for the betas.
I'm gonna try to flash this when I get home.
I don't see anything new on Android TV in this build. What are folks excited about?
Does everyone's voice search still work on the Nexus Player? Mine never worked well after updating from the original OS it shipped with. After being frustrated that 6 and 7 rolled out and my voice search still was not fixed, I jail broke my Nexus Player back to 5.1 and it works great again. The biggest pain was stopping the device from auto updating. But it's great again, although I can no longer turn on my TV with the Nexus remote as I could while on 7.
...Whaaaa
Correct me if I am wrong, but this will make the Nexus Player the longest supported Nexus device I believe, receiving 3 major updates instead of the standard 2.
