Kodi on a Nexus Player for connecting to a mythtv backend

I purchased two Nexus Players today. I was unable to get kodi 15.1 from the play store connecting to my mythtv pvr backend when used with the Nexus Players as frontends.

Without diagnosing the reason and after trial and error, I had to do the following.

1. Update the Nexus Player to Android 5.1..1 via the normal update facility.
2. Install ES File Explorer on the Nexus Player
3. Download the latest kodi release candidate ( currently kodi-15.2-Isengard_rc3-armeabi-v7a.apk ) from kodi.tv and save to my dropbox
4. Add dropbox as a cloud network location in ES File Explorer
5. Use EF File Explorer to navigate to and install the kodi .apk from my dropbox

( note - I am running mythbuntu 14.04 in a parallels virtual machine on my recent desktop Mac and performance is surprisingly good. I have two HDHomeRun devices providing 4 tuners in total )

"COM Port" Error - Connecting Smartwatch to PC

Hi everyone! :D

I've tried loads of stuff to try and find a solution to this problem, but couldn't find one so far.

Basically, I have what I believe is a u80 SmartWatch. It has a micro-USB port, in which the watch detects if it is connected to a socket charger or a PC.

When plugged into a PC, a notification on the watch tells me it's connected to USB, and gives me only one option: "COM Port". When I tap it, I get an error "Not allow or conflict". Obviously this watch wasn't made anywhere where English is the first language. I changed it to a couple of other languages, and tried again. This time, in other languages, the error changes to "USB: UART2 is busy".

The watch is not detected by any OS or computer that I've tried. It doesn't appear in device manager or USBDeview, therefore I cannot attempt to install drivers to get it functioning.

From what I've read, my watch could be a cheap clone or remake of a u8 or u80 smartwatch, but the developers would have had to get the watch OS on there somehow. I don't intend to flash it, as apparently that can damage clones. I am just trying to access the file system to play around with it and/or tweak some settings.

Does anyone have any idea what these errors mean or how to fix them?

Any help is appreciated.

Thanks!
