Just a quick PSA on this listing:

This item was originally packaged for sale in the UK. The player is the same, but the power adapter is made for UK outlets. For your convenience, a US power converter is included.

Sure - aging device, but $30? Sure why not.

There's also LineageOS for it

I just grabbed a Jetstream from Walmart this weekend. Have a Nexus Player in my bedroom and the Jetstream in the living room. It's like night and day. The Nexus Player is a laggy mess and the Jetstream is buttery smooth. Save yourself the aggravation and spend the extra 40 bucks and get a Jetstream or anything else.

Wow they still make these? Android Oreo 8.1 out for it?

Anyone know how this compares to Mi Box performance, can't help but be curious.

I'd pay this just to replace the original Nexus Player remote I lost.

It's a good thing to note that Nexus players have been dying randomly as of late. Mine died about a month ago. Stuck in an endless boot loop with no way to boot to recovery :(

NEW condition!

Edit: Bought two.

Wondering if I should give this a go as an in-car Plex streamer for road trips. I have a WD Wifi hard drive with a plex server on it and this would be a nice Plex player.

Any way I can get this shipped to Australia?

Traded mine in to get a Shield, it was a good device, but Oreo update was shit and caused the thing to stop reading any external USB drives

Lottery tickets are cheaper, usually.

it's not usable due to obsolete hardware
