I know neither Squeeze Control or SB Player is available in the Play Store for the Nexus Player. Apps need to implement a specific Android TV interface to be technically compatible with the Nexus Player. Sideloading the apps may work, but the Nexus Player might not run an app that doesn't have an Android TV interface. Eventually I do plan on making SB Player directly available for Android TV devices, but I don't think Squeeze Control is a good fit for a TV. I have no idea how well Squeeze Control will work with a remote, but I would assume not well since it really wasn't designed for remote use and the interface is kind of complex. Also I didn't add any indicators to any of the custom themed buttons, which means that while you can move the cursor to the button and trigger it, you won't be able to see that you've move the cursor to the button. SB Player isn't really possible to do as a metro app, since metro apps cannot run in the background (with the exception of location apps). As to Squeeze Control... well the WinPhone 8 version is the fourth full app of Squeeze Control I've done in four years (webOS phone, webOS tablet, Android, winphone). I just can't motivate myself to write yet another version and a win tablet version would require a major rewrite since the WinPhone version was written right before the Universal App specs were available. Also the Windows Tablet interface is so different from anything else, it would require a complete rethink of how the Squeeze Control interface should work. Besides, the market for windows tablets is still so small, there just isn't much of an incentive. -------------- Squeezebox apps for webOS, Android and Windows Phone, http://www.angrygoatapps.com ------------------------------------------------------------------------ wt0's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=18760 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98049 _______________________________________________ plugins mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/plugins
