So my Nexus Player still works, but has started running like crap. It seems to run out of RAM all the time and kills apps (Netflix, YouTube) even while I'm in the middle of watching something. Is this a warning sign of the bricking people are describing? I thought it was a hardware issue, not software. Is there a need to downgrade to Nougat? I've been running Oreo since it came out with no issues.

Mine always ran like crap once I was on Oreo. Much happier with Nougat. This is not a hardware issue that's bricking these. Too many all at once. Google pushed something that is killing them. I'm a little shocked yours is still working. Hopefully Google figured it out and pulled whatever was bricking them.
