Nexus Player Oreo Unreliable to anyone else?

by Pedromvu

So I have been having a lot of problems since I started the Beta (controller disconnecting, Hulu and Netflix failling to load, crashes while playing videos and a lot of stuttering on videos) and I assumed it would all go away with the official release.

I was wrong, I don't know if something is messed up in my particular device but I need to fully restart it at least once every 3 days otherwise videos start to crash, interface of Netflix becomes super sluggish and sometimes even the launcher starts to constantly crash, like if there was some kind of memory leak going on all the time.

Not even talking about the new UI I really hate this update because it made my Nexus Player not very usable, is it only me experiencing this kind of issues?

It's common knowledge on /r/nexusplayer that you should do a factory reset after every major update because sometimes Android in general can turn into a crashy mess after an OTA. I did it and have none of the problems you do.

Mine is so snappy, it's faster than my MiBox
