Well, like the topic says I want to connect my OUYA to my pc so I can send game roms to the various emulators. I tried the IP in one FTP client, but it says it can't connect!
And I installed AntFTP in the console.
Help me please.

You don't need to go through all that, just download and install AirDroid onto your OUYA and use that, it's the easiest way to go about it. YOu can then manage your OUYA from any browser.

Thank you, will do that!
ES File Explorer has a network feature as well. That's what I like to use. You do have to set up file sharing on your PC tough.
Cheers.

I installed XBMC on my Amazon Fire TV along with its required, manually entered, addons. I want to install XBMC-torrents which comes only on a .zip file. Thus I need to transfer it through an FTP or otherwise to the AFT root directory so that I can install it. Any idea how to connect with an FTP client? I tried cyberduck but since I do not know the required user name and password, I get an error.
Any ideas pls......
Thx

Last time I used cyberduck, I believe the default U/S was "root" and the default P/W was "alpine", without quotation marks. I could be wrong though. Last time I needed to use it was on my jailbroken iPhone 3g. So it's been a while...
I just use 3CX DroidDesktop, to Web FTP stuff to my FTV. As an alternative to FTP, and assuming you have root access, you could use stick mount to mount a usb stick to your ftv, and install zip files that way.

You need to sideload an FTP server first. I use SSHelper (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.arachnoid.sshelper&hl=en) so I can SFTP/SCP in and add files. You can also stick the zip on a SMB/NFS mount and add that to your sources and load from there. I think that's the optimal way.
Hello all,
I have been working on my setup on the fire tv device for some time. I have XBMC customized and configured for my sources/shares and chosen add-ons. I just received my fire tv stick and would like to basically copy the setup to the stick.
For some reason I was never able to get the apps like adbFire to work when I tried Backup XBMC / Restore XBMC (now Kodi) so I was wondering what the easiest way to mirror the setup would be? Is there a config file that i could copy from an install on one device to an install on the other that would setup everything? I am thinking that would probably be "too easy" but it might work for the shares/sources.
Look forward to the responses. Thanks all.

Install ES File Explorer. Turn on Remote Manager (basically, it creates an FTP server on the FireStick). Go to the FireTV, enter that info. Go to this thread that I wrote and look at /9
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2793823
Note, if you are using kodi, the folder should be org.xbmc.kodi.

Hi - I was wondering if the process that was described allowed you to mirror image the stick? thank you in advance for the reply - I was also looking for a way to mirror the stick from one to the other to avoid making a complete setup for the multiple sticks I am looking to purchase for the multiple TV's in my house.
Thanks
It should work for as many devices as you want. I use mysql library and exported it then the sources appear on all my devices running the same version of kodi.
I prefer this for several reasons but you need a computer that's on 24/7 to run mysql server.

hey jocala,
I'm on fire tv 1 OS 5.0.5.1 freshly installed. I have an attached hard drive which wont mount either on boot or while manually mounting. I am able to mount it using stick mount manually.
Could it be something to do with busybox? I had a similar problem on OS 3 and it was a busybox issue.

Unfortunately, Android sandboxes the drive so only root can see it. With OS5 the install-recovery*.sh scripts are no longer started at boot by the stock kernel, so starting things at boot no longer works.

This error means that adbLink is unable to write to the installation location.
It mostly happens to Mac users when they run adbLink from within the dmg container. You must DRAG the app from the dmg folder to the /Applications folder. It can also happen if you don't have write privileges in the Application folder (your user isn't admin). It that case drag adbLink to your Desktop, or any other location where you have write privileges.

Try pressing "Refresh ADB", sometimes it helps.
Check for other processes that may have adb tied up
Reboot

Thank you for the reply.. When you say other processes do you mean on the firetv or on the computer...?
Where would I find them and how to stop them... Or a thread on it... Or something.. Thanks

Think of the "offline" status as a busy signal. It simply means that another instance of adb has snagged a connection to your Fire TV, preventing you from properly connecting. That "other" adb connection could be a phantom adb instance running on your PC, or an adb connection made from another computer/tablet/phone on your network, or something like FireStarter running on the device itself. For a computer, use task manager for windows/ activity monitor for mac. I use ps to look at processes running under the linux kernel (Fire TV, phones,tablets,etc).
Also, try rebooting the Fire TV...

Hi, where's the screenshot button gone?
Hey everyone,
I already try to get this running or even installed since a while now. But all the apps that all this great tutorials name me are not being found on the firetv anymore. I can't install them or even find them. I already turned on that I can install any harmfull application I want and so on, but I am running low on ideas how I get this first step done. It won't let me download any downloader app to install Kodi on it.
Anyone know a way?
AFTVnews is the spot for FTV everything. He wrote his own downloader app, got it in the amazon store, and has a guide on how to use it.
http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-side...on-the-amazon-fire-tv-stick-using-downloader/
Once it's running, install the Kodi Android Installer addon inside Kodi for easy updates.
The problem is, even though I activated all the necessary stuff, it won't let me download the Downloader or ES Explorer, or any other kind of sideloader. It always tells me that it can't find that application.
Install adbLink from jocala.com on your pc. Start it and set up your device with the right IP. Then find the option within adbLink to install android apps on your device.

Thanks. I will trz that out.
Thanks, worked like a charm ^^.
I'm totally new to this, and I'm having trouble finding the info I need, sorry for the basic questions here.
I got my Toshiba Edition Fire TV connected via abdlink via the IP address.
Once it connects, the 'Enable USB Debugging' window pops up on the TV, which I authorize. adblink tells me it's unauthorized and to click 'refresh adb', so I do.
It seems to be functioning and the TV is listed under connected devices, but when I try to open the console, it pops up and immediately closes. If I try to run the abd shell, the console pops up but I can't type anything into it. All of the other functions seem to be working.
I'm trying to disable the banner ads using the command lines found on the forum here in one of the threads. I don't have Kodi installed yet, is that necessary to use the command console? I haven't downloaded anything else, all I have is abdlink, do I need the developer sdk installed or anything else aside from adblink?
Thanks, any help is very much appreciated, I know this is basic stuff. Even more basic, do I install the 32bit apk or the 64bit kodi apk?
I would try a reboot of PC and TV since initial connection. If you store the IP in adblink and make that first connection, allowed on TV it should store that and not have to again (that's how it is on my ftv box). Then try running adblink as admin before connecting.
As for Kodi, install 64bit. If it successfully installs than you have 64bit chip/OS. If it gets parsing error it means you don't... Install 32bit.

Could I ask you, is Fire TV able to access my Windows 7 shares? I have it set up on Windows, but no Fire TV apps find the shares, I can't find any way to do it... Thanks.
Also when I try to use remote manager from ES Explorer, Windows tells me it cannot access the files and to make sure I have permissions.
Edit nevermind ADB works now.
