Google Nexus Player is the first device to run Android TV, the company’s latest software platform designed to power set-top boxes, TVs, and even “microconsoles”. It’s an ideal streaming media player for movies, music and videos.

Unfortunately, not all videos can be streamed with Nexus Player, such as iTunes videos which are strictly protected by Apple FairPlay. The DRM locked iTunes M4V videos are restricted from playing on non-Apple devices. It’s such a pity that the iTunes videos cannot stream on Nexus Player.
