How to Enable USB Debugging on Nexus Player? (Android TV)

Question

I am trying to debug my app on the Nexus Player hardware. I enabled the developer mode, turned USB Debugging on, and connected the cable. However, I don't see any message like the one below as stated here: https://developers.google.com/cast/docs/android_tv#adb-usb

In the Allow USB debugging? dialog, select Always allow from this computer, and select OK.

What steps might be missing? Could it be a problem with the USB driver?

for some `adb` connection trouble-shooting tips read http://ktnr74.blogspot.com/2014/11/adb-device-detection-in-windows.html — Alex P., Jan 29 '15 at 15:52
Well, I ran the command suggested at the blog post, and the output is: Name : Android DeviceID : USB\VID_18D1&PID_4EE7\584228CC Service : So, I guess something is not configured on my laptop...? — burakk, Jan 30 '15 at 11:54

I just installed the Google USB Driver in Device Manager (Computer Management), and it worked. (The Google USB Driver is located in \extras\google\usb_driver.)

I had this problem too. I fixed it by simply using a USB cable that supports data transfers. The cable that comes along with the Nexus Player is a 'charging' cable type.
