The Verge :

The Nexus Player takes the shape of a sleek-looking puck around 4.7-inches in diameter. It comes with a tiny remote with just a few buttons on it, one of which allows you to enable a microphone to perform a voice search — it’s actually a lot like what you’d find with Amazon’s Fire TV. The box includes 8GB of internal storage and is able to stream over 802.11ac Wi-Fi, which is the newest standard out there right now. The Nexus Player also supports a game controller, but it’s sold separately.

This seems to be a very cool gadget : the Android TV interface is sleek, and the Player looks great. BUT, I think it misses two features :

So, maybe I don’t need an Nexus Player. Maybe I just need a Roku 3 with Android TV (and a better Plex app, which Android TV has, not Roku).
