Does anyone know how to fix this stuttering the OUYA does when playing video stream?
I have the latest firmware and "XBMC for OUYA" but video streams are still doing this for a while when starting to play and then randomly during the movie. Thanks for any reply.
The problem is not with xbmc but a firmware bug made in the 24th July update.
There is no fix unless you are rooted.
It has been raised with the ouya team but it doesn't seem a priority to them.
If rooted how i can fix that problem?

Please post results if it works for you.
Thanks guys! This appears to have worked. And if it did it appears to have worked like a charm.
Here's what I did:
I've been using apk extractor to install apks on to my rooted ouya.
I used a APK extractor to extract Android terminal emulator and put it on my network share with my phone.
Then using es file explorer on my new ouya grabbed the Android terminal emulator apk off my network share and installed it.
I open the emulator on my ouya and gave superuser access then type "su" and enter key.
Then the command:
echo 32768 > /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes
I have been using the YouTube plugin on XBMC with the highest video quality setting to test.
Thanks again for the reply and I hope this help somebody out.

thanks for the instructions made it very easy to do. I can finally watch video addons from xbmc and transfer files through ftp without the ouya locking up.
I can't seem to get this done. I tried using Android Terminal Emulator on OUYA but I can't type anything. I also use a command window and use adb to sideload apps. Can I use this method to enter this command into OUYA? I tried but it says The system cannot find the path specified. How do I do this?
sorry for the late reply but for anyone else coming across this thread

you type the command into terminal emulator that is running on your ouya
I keep a plain USB cord keyboard handy, i turn off the ouya, then unplug it from the back, plug in the keyboard, then fire everything back up.
when it's back on launch terminal emulator or install if you haven't and you should be able to use the keyboard you have plugged in to type the command into terminal emulator.
Does this still work?

Since we cannot get to other sources to install an app on firetv I've been using adb and my win7 pc.
I think I saw another method posted, installing apks already on tablet. I could not find it, and I don't think it used this method. My apologies for not crediting someone else if that's what I'm doing.
I installed "AnySend" and "Terminal Emulator" using adb and pc.
I sent app via any send to firetv.
Ran terminal keyboard very helpful if not needed
Used ls and cd to navigate to Any Send dir.
adb kill-server
adb start-server
"daemon started"
adb install "side loaded apk name"
If installed "success"
ls list directory contents
cd "name" changes directory

Yeah, I saw that, but with my way I don't need a computer, just my rooted nexus 5. I thought the OP was looking for a way to do this without a computer.
Thanks for replies. I'm lazy. I see an app I want to install. I send file from my tablet to fire tv using any send. Many other programs will work I just like this one. open terminal, navigate to install directory, use adb to install. Seems pretty simple.

idea popped into my head just now, has anyone tried it? i dont know exactly how the exploit works or anything but would it be worth trying?
Try it and report back
Am I missing something here? adb install tr.apk is how people have rooted.. aka as sideloading.
Lol, how do you think everyone's been rooting?!?
Sent from my C6916 using Tapatalk
Sideloading is super easy after installing Terminal Emulator and a web browser.
You can use the terminal app to perform all of the same ADB functions as you would from a PC,but you have to use the PC once more to install the Terminal app and a browser.
Somebody needs to pin that original topic that tells you how to do it,as it helped me greatly on sideloading any of the apps I wanted in mere seconds by downloading the apk through a sideloaded browser and installing it via ADB function on the sideloaded Terminal App.
ok, something really simple somebody may be able to help me with, not sure if its possible, but i want to store a few images onto my fire tv, so i can use them with my xbmc setup as wallpapers, my device isnt rooted, as its the uk version that got sent out today, ive installed dropbox, and es file explorer but their is no option to save. anybody know if this is possible? its driving me crazy. ive also tried uploading with the amazon cloud drive app, the pictures show up on the photo section on my home screen, but thats it... is their any way i would find these in the root access?
thanks
I think you should be able to use adb to push them to the SD card. Try one of the fireTV utility apps for a GUI.

Connect to the Fire TV via ADB (WIndows guide and Mac guide)
Then use the command:
Code:
adb push C:\path\to\image.jpg \sdcard\
This will transfer any file from your PC to the \sdcard\ directory of your Fire TV. Root is not needed.
You guys are the best... Thank a lot!

Change the c:\path\to to actually be the correct path to the image file on your computer (for example c:\users\images\Photo.jpg)

Since you want these in XBMC, you can do in XBMC using the file manager too.

Can I do it directly from my mac without having to sideload?
Still no luck
I don't think its finding the adb program. Are you running the command from the folder where adb resides?

The command is slightly different between Mac and Windows. The command I gave you is for Windows. Here is what you should enter since you're on a Mac:
First, change to the directory where you have adb by running this command:
Code:
cd /Users/channy/Desktop/platform-tools/
Then move the file to your Fire TV by running this command:
Code:
./adb push /Users/channy/Desktop/platform-tools/wallpapers/Breaking-Bad-Simpsons-2362199.jpg /sdcard/

Awesome. Glad you got it working! And glad you're enjoying the site.
Here are a couple tips:
If you move the adb file from the platform-tools folder into your /Users/channy/ folder, you can just open terminal and start running "./adb" commands without first doing the "cd..." command.
Also, on mac you can drag and drop files into the terminal window instead of typing the full path to the file. For this case you would type "./adb push ", then drag the image onto the terminal, then type " /sdcard/". Note the space at the end of the first part and the beginning of the second part.

Even better.. Thankyou for that info. Whilst I caught you online.. Little off topic but do I need to block OTA updates? I plan on eventually rooting when/if it becomes available. And if so... The only way I can do this as I'm on stock firmware would be to use the block domain methods with my router?

If you have any interest in rooting it's always best to block updates. At the very least that way you can choose whether you want to install the update or not.
If you're not rooted, your best option is to block the update domains via your router. If that isn't something you can do, you can always sign up for a free OpenDNS account and block the domains that way. You would just need to enter the OpenDNS DNS IP addresses into your Fire TV's settings, just like in this guide.

Hello,
is it possible to install a browser with Flash Player on Fire TV
I need this feature to look my .psasquashtv
If i want to see this matches, a flash player Plug in is needed.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks
Thomas
Flash works just fine,but the Android version of this itself can have some performance problems because of the lazy ex-devs who canceled the damn thing.
Here is the safest link for Android's flash player.
Just scroll down and download the latest version and sideload with your preferred method.

Hello,
ok, thank you. I do not have an internet browser in my Fire TV Box, how can I install for example Firefox??

PM'd as there are links not sure if I can post on forum.
After you get ADB working,install the following...
1. Terminal Emulator
2. Any web browser like Opera. (for getting apk files from 1mobile,wandoujia,appchina,voga360,and Aptoide. Also evozi or apkleecher to get free Play Store app files.
3. A screen rotation/orientation app for locking to landscape orientation.
4. ES File Explorer for figuring out the exact name of an apk and renaming it to something easier.
After getting all of these,you can now easily use ADB in Terminal Emulator on your Fire TV to install downloaded apk files.
Starting up commands (3)
Code:
adb kill server
Code:
adb start server
and
Code:
adb connect
Template is
Code:
adb install sdcard/Download/file.apk
Or if the file is in another directory,you will need to type that one in.
Replace "file" with your apk's filename.
Edit:You only have to do the three starting up commands the first time,after that,you should be able to use "adb install" directly.
Hi
Shall I use the flash player for ICS oder the hacked flash player for 4.4?
Cheers
The 4.4 hacked one does not work right on Fire TV.
Just get the latest 11.1 version for "Android 4.0" which is the 11.1.115.81 one.
Slingplayer for Fire TV apk..can anyone install it and do an adb pull for me? IT's a FREE app
I want to test it on the nexus player bu do not have a fire tv stick to pull it from myself. I already got it from the app store...now all i need is the apk.
Thanks to anyone who can help me out!
What's the cmd line for pulling apk?

Well if you already have adb setup then you would need to first connect to the fire tv via wireless adb. I think its
"adb connect {192.168.X.XXX)" for the fire tv
then we need to find where the apk is installed on the device so:
"adb shell pm list packages" to get the full name of the package then:
"adb shell pm path com.example.someapp" To get the path of the file
It should be in the /data/app/ folder so the path would be:
"/data/app/com.example.someapp.apk"
Then the command would be:
"adb pull /data/app/com.example.someapp.apk"
It will dump the app onto your computer wherever you have adb installed
If you can get it working please let me know and upload the file here. I'm sure im not the only one that could benefit!
Thanks
You can use EsExplorer to back up the apk then transfer it elsewhere.
I installed the app but found it only supported the newer units and not my old Slingbox AV do I uninstalled it.
