Developers who snagged a Nexus Player can now tinker with their Android TV-based set-top boxes knowing that they have a safe route to recovery in the event of experiments gone terribly wrong. Google has published the factory image file for the Nexus Player for anyone who needs to download it. The images are for build LRX21M that shipped with the device earlier this week. They’ve also got the necessary binary drivers available for those who need them.
What does this mean for users? Not much in the here and now, but this allows developers to get started on all sorts of aftermarket goodness that we’re sure to see down the line (including rooting the device and exploring other tweaks we’ve come to expect for a Nexus device). We’re not sure what to expect from Android TV in terms of open development, but it should be an exciting ride for those who’ve embraced the platform in the early going. Developers can find the links straight ahead.
