Nexus Player help & questions

Hi. I have a Chromecast and i have questions about the Nexus Player.

Albeit a very inferior chipset, a measly 1GB RAM and 8GB RAM is there a way to expand the storage option of the device via the mini USB port at the back?

Many thanks.

The chipset is actually pretty decent along with the GPU.

If you are planning on gaming I think the best bet is to get a better unit.

If you want to expand the storage here is a link, a bit on the techie side

First you have to enable debugging to get the usb on the nexus player to work. Also getting USB flash drives to work as external storage requires root and Stickmount and Foldermount.

Sounds a bit too technical. I'm not into rooting so i might need a bit more reading on that. I thought the process was more simpler especially because its an Android product.

I just want a bit of gaming when i'm not doing anything. I think i'll probably just get a Playstation TV or wait for the newer/more powerful Android TV gaming devices.

I went from chromecast to the nexus player and im very happy with. Im not a gamer but the games I do play are good enough for me and the cost is ideal. For 6 bucks I purchased modern combat 4 and five which are really good, and today I purchase tomb raider, lol, old school version fo 99 cent. I still cant figure the damn game out after all these years.

Graphics are pretty good, not playstation quality but better than I expected. I also downloade chrome brower which is nice and syncs all passwords and bookmarks. I also dowloaded show box which for me works great. I use a mouse to navigate chrome and [redacted]

For me the nexus player is great. Oh yea, just received and update to android 5.1.
