Hi Everyone,
Does anyone no if Amazon has enabled support for external storage yet? I like my player but this has been a serious downfall to my regular usage of this product. Or does anyone have a idea when this may be addressed??
Desperate...LOL
No official support from amazon but can be accomplished on rooted boxes using things like Stickmount, Foldermount, and Links2SD depending on what you need the external for.

Hi I want to buy this tablet, but I was reading that the expanded memory can only store photos taken from the tablet.
Would I be able to store music and movies on the SD card that I would buy
thanks
You should be able to store anything on the microSD other than apps with a stock android device.
If you are willing to root your device (unlocking all settings that were previiously unavailable), you can store apps on there as well.
Where did you get your information from? It would seem like an odd statement to make unless they were trying to convince you to get something else.
You're getting some bad information. You can store/play music and videos to the SD just fine.
Where they get stored, if you purchase them using the tablet may vary depending on where you are purchasing them. I don't purchase music or videos using the tablet, personally. But the SD works in the same way as most any Android device, for every other purpose.
Thanks for the help
But I saw it on a review of the device (user review) from a store.
I'm sold going to buy one after work
How much data storage is your install of XBMC using on your Fire TV?
I know it's going to vary by content but I'm just looking to see what the average is.
Thanks
Mine is 830mb. I have 300 movies and about 20 tv shows. Also some addons installed.
I really look forward to be able to use a pen drive or portable hd for storage...

Strange. Mine is 803 MB. I have 1,245 movies and 29 TV shows. I wonder why yours is so large. Before letting it suck down al the info/images, I set it to not retrieve actor info/images in order to save space. Perhaps that uses a lot of space.
On a side note, I initially set XBMC to get my files via UPnP from a PC running XBMC with the same media collection instead of my current setup using SMB file sharing. The UPnP setup was only around 300MB since it pulls all the info/images from the PC. I didn't go with that setup because using UPnP doesn't allow you to use "Library" mode. You have to use "Videos" to get to everything. But it's definitely a good option if you want to reduce XBMC's disk usage.
I have only the 16GB version of the Nexus 7 2013 Wi-Fi and internal storage is at a premium. Is there an Android app or at least an effective tutorial that shows me how to install apps and games to a 64GB OTG flashdrive and run them from it? Thanks in advance for any help.
My title pretty much says it all but like if I use a external HD will it act ad more space or just extra space to put things on
Just plugging in the hard drive will mount it and allow for you to store files on it like a regular flash drive, and you can use it for multimedia, storing your video, music, and photos on it, then viewing them with Kodi, or your multimeda app of choice. Basically anything that isn't an app can be stored on it and loaded from it with the corresponding app. Fopr example, I use an app called Joiplay to play RPG Maker and Ren'py games, as well as Retroarch for emulators. I store all my game files on a regular flash drive.
You will not be able to use it as extra storage space for intalling apps and app data however, without the use of an app or Xposed/Magisk module.
Personally, I use Apps2sd Pro to "link" (or move, to put it simply) apps to a 20gb EXT4 partition on my 32gb microSD card that is in my Fire TV 2, it's the easiest method that I was able to figure out how to use, but there are other ways.
Yes I am a newbee here and I admit this forum looks a bit over my head at the first look. I have a 50" Insignia Amazon Fire TV that I bought a while back from Best Buy. Admittedly I do not watch a lot of things every day or night, but mostly I will sit and watch a TV shows (seasonal series) type of programs. Not into News (fake news) or music all that much.
I am now just educating myself about things like KODI where I can get live TV and ALL the other goodies via using the down loader app and the steps described as from some of the YT video channels gurus!
After initially doing this I began to get the "LOW STORAGE" (aka low memory) 8GB of Internal Storage. I added a USB 8GB thumb-drive on the left side panel and was able to "move" a few of the downloaded apps to the external memory (USB). However unless I get the internal memory "FREED-UP" so there is 500MB of open space on the internal memory the LOW STORAGE WARNINGS (aka "pop-ups") come back! Arrg!
I am wondering what else I can do to not fill up the 8GB of internal memory bank? Some of the Amazon (extra features) packaged goodies like Photos and Music etc. Are things I wish I could delete but there is no "delete" option in the Application Management function. I would like to remove some of the "pre-loaded extras I probably won't ever use .
I know there must be others here who understand the issues -- I have read a couple of the threads -- but they get a bit too technical for me - at least at this point in my learning curve. If someone can give me some third grade level help that would be appreciated here. Thanks!

The simple answer to your question would be to not use kodi on such a low memory device.
Kodi uses a lot of cached space so is not ideal for devices with low storage.
If you are able to use external storage then you can use this to hold most of kodis files.
If not, then.. are you not able to use a couple of movie apks such as cinema HD or Film+ instead as these apks are small in size, use minimal space and do the job well (just install vlc and mx player alongside).

Thank you! Yes I will research where I can get the lowest CACHE eating apps. And remove KODI as you are indicating it is not great for a low memory device such as my Insignia Fire TV with it's mere 8GB of internal storage.
