Hi ive just installed xbmc for amazon fire tv. Just wondered if there is away to add apk files inside xbmc. Rather than on sidebar? Also tried adding live tv as it worked well on pc. No success on amazon fire tv yet. Many thanks
I've got IPTV based LIVE TV working on XBMC without a problem, so I'm betting it works.
May i ask how you did it please. Because the way i did it via px wouldnt work on amazon fire tv.
I've been looking for an actual guide or directions on how to update your Amazon fire TV from Gotham to kodi. I don't know if it's just an easy step or if there's something involved. Can someone help me on how to actually update XBMC to kodi. It would be greatly appreciated and I'm sure others would like it to.
Just install the Kodi apk. It will migrate your info from gotham over

I have Xbmc installed and I want it to see the films I have on my Mac.
I have them both on the same network and I have Xbmc on my Mac running fine, I just want the fire to Play the films on my fire tv stick.
Any help would be great thanks

Either turn on upnp sharing from xbmc on your mac or create a network share folder to share your movies and add that as a video source from xbmc on your fire
I've shared the folder and that doesn't show up, so I'll give the other way ago cheers
I tried upnp and it still won't see my mac? Would this be because one is kodi and one is gotham?
I don't assume so. Is it a firewall thing?
I was able to successfully link ikono TV to Kodi on my Fire TV stick I bought on launch. However, the new Fire TV I just bought I can't get it link with Llama even after following the same steps. When I go to events menu in Llama, I can link any other app to launch but Kodi to ikono TV.
Anything I'm missing here?

I have my lama set for classic tv. do you want my lama files. You can put them in the lama directory and import from usb and you will be set. but you need to download classic tv. I dislike ikono.tv even as a sacrificial app but its available globally. You can change my profile to ikono easily once you have the files imported. PM me and I'll send it to your way.
Llama and kodi
You must 1st make sure your AFTV has the latest update from Amazon! Then it will restart and work fine! But make sure if you are using the AFTV for the 1st time that you go back and manually do the update! Hope this help have a great night!!
Hi
I am using a Amazon Fire TV with Kodi and an external harddrive which is connected to the amazon fire TV
Is it possible to run something like a Samba Server on the Fire TV? I would like to have a networkshare of the attached harddrive so I can put files on this from the other computers.
Is this possible and ist there any stable implementation for this?
Probably the "Servers Ultimate Pro" app from the Amazon app store can help. AFAIK it supports SMB/CIFS (aka SAMBA) as server.
ok I can't load this from amazon app store it says not supported for Fire TV but maybe I can sideload this.

You'll most likely need to sideload, not sure amazon has an smb app. I use samba file sharing from playstore.
