About this task

The Dolby test application is not available from the Google shop; you must follow the steps described in this section for installation.

Procedure

  1. Download or copy the AndroidTV_app.zip file to an appropriate directory on the PC.

    If you have had the kit downloaded and unpacked on your local PC, locate the .zip file in the <kit parent directory>/Test_Apps/AndroidTV/ directory.

    Otherwise, download the .zip file from the web page <kit starting page>/Test_Apps/AndroidTV/ on the DISC website (https://disc.dolbycustomer.com).

  2. Unzip the file AndroidTV_app.zip, and make sure the unzipped folder AndroidTV_app contains a AndroidTV.apk file.
  3. Connect the Nexus Player to the PC with a USB cable.
  4. Open a command-line prompt window from the PC, and run this command from under the AndroidTV_app folder. 
    adb install AndroidTV.apk
    After the installation has completed, the test application icon will appear on the main page of the Nexus Player. If the icon is not displayed on the main page, find it in Settings > Device > Apps > Downloaded apps.Android TV in Downloaded apps
