Mark Nexus Player as compatible device on Play Store
Tested the APK with Nexus Player and is fully working:
-No Force Close
-All menus/options can be selected with the remote
-Virtual keyboard works
-Web interface and remote control works
I was forced to use a mouse to get to the settings panel, however after configured everything works great with the remote, or even better with Transdroid. The mouse IS required to get to the settings, but the app itself works great for this device, launches on background and is awesome with the Transdroid remote. It should show as compatible for the nexus player
