hi guys i recently got my gf an amazon fire tv now the device isnt rooted but i managed to get spmc installed fine
the plugin itself loads fine but other plugins such as genesis and mashup have real issues 1 issue is that genesis opens up but once i click movies and then go to click 1 of the categories it says loading and just as quick then stops loading at stays at the same menu i was at
i use xbmc on many devices and never had any issues was wondering if anyone could help me solve it or better yet upload there xbmc data so i could restore it to mine using the amazon fire utility app any help would be great thanks
Make sure you are using the new URL: http://fusion.tvaddons.ag
Lambda just updated Genesis to version 3.1.0. It is super fast with new HD sources.
thanks for your reply i was already using the latest its as if im not receiving the sources for some reason or should i be installing any modules as i received errors that the elementtree script didnt have its dependencies met would you mind backing up your xbmc configuration through the fire tv utility for me and sending me it in a zip so i could try yours out please
I would if I could figure out how to backup my SPMC install with adbFire. That's my new daily driver and the most up to date install that I have.
thats no probs mate thanks anyways here is my xbmc log its over my head this but maybe someone can see something in this log that im missing http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=342817

Did you open ADBFire preferences and change package name to: com.semperpax.spmc?

back thankfully with my solution it turned out that my router was blocking my amazon fire in the firewall i found this out by disabling the firewall temporarily on the router, and then i was manually able to open the ports to the amazon fire tv box but anyways just letting yous know i got it sorted thanks for all the help
TVAddons released a specific android version called TVMC which will load all that for you automatically. Its still good to learn the inner workings of XBMC though.
getting the same thing on the fire stick genesis movies not working?

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.
ok peeps ive install uktv now apk file onto my firestick but for some reason it comes up with no internet error and wont connect to my network yet kodi helix is running sweet

I've never had this problem. I'm assuming you're registered & logged in? i'd suggest re-downloading the apk (maybe you've an old or corrupt one) or failing that - switching it off & on or hitting it
I have installed UK-TV-NOW3 apk file onto my FireTV 2nd Gen, but for some reason it has requested to use/have the MX Player APP...
The problem is that if I try to sideload the MX Player, the APP is not installed because it says that is not compatible with the FireTV2...
So I would like to know how can I use this UK-NOW3 APP, if I can not install MX Player on my FireTV 2nd Gen. Unit?
Does anyone is currently using UK-NOW3 on FireTV2 BOX or knows how to solve this annoying problem with MX Player?
Thanks in advance!
EDIT: Problem Solved!
As I said before, I could not sideload the MX-Player APP, because I always got the following message:
"This application is not supported by this device."
So I decided to use the "Apps2Fire" APP, to send via WIFI the MX-Player to my FireTV2, and surprisingly MX-player finally was installed without any problems!
I wanted to mention this here, because the same thing happened to me before with other apps, that I could not install them directly, and I was forced to install via WIFI using "Apps2Fire" or "AGK Fire"...
Hi, any chance someone could post this apk? Want to see if it works on the nexus player.
thanks!
http://www.uktvapps.com/ , although I'm not sure if it's the same version you get from the Amazon.co.uk store: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Media-Applications-Technologies-Ltd-iPlayer/dp/B009SPY7PW
yeah that is not relevant to what i am looking for at all. thanks anyway.
was hoping someone could extract the apk from their firetv. I've tried doing it myself in the past but i'm too dumb so it never worked.
I sideloaded iPlayer but it doesn't work, it wants to be connected to your Amazon account
was searching to see if this had been tried.. Bummer..
No hope of installing the amazon store ?? Tieing an amazon account.. and retrying ??

Here is the BBC Iplayer app for fire tv
Obviously if you're not in the UK you will need a vpn connected to the UK
You also need a BBC account to be able to log in

I downloaded bbc.iplayer.android_4.53.0.1-45300001_minAPI16(armeabi-v7a,x86)(nodpi)_apkmirror .com.apk from apkmirror .com, obviously, (remove the space before .com) and I use a UK vpn (ExpressVPN, I live in the US..) and it works great! (also, I made an account... duh) Just need to use a mouse, or Mouse Toggle, or Cetusplay because it's an Android TV apk, and not the Fire TV one. I'm currently trying to patch the Fire TV version TheFixItMan provided (thanks!!) to unlink it from the Amazon Appstore by installing the apk on a rooted phone of mine and using Lucky Patcher as described here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/help/bbc-iplayer-sideloaded-app-owned-error-t3315474
I'll post a link to it if I'm successful :fingers-crossed:

Thanks for the .apk file. It installs and launches without any problem but an Amazon UK account has to be linked to the application. So it doesn't work with e.g. Amazon Germany account. Maybe I should change my country to UK, download the app from Amazon appstore and try it again. Even if it works, it will probably not work any longer, as soon as I change the country to Germany.
I rebuilt the app without license verification by using Lucky Patchers. After opening the app it instantly crashes..

Try this one - I've removed the Amazon verification from it
You will still need to vpn to the UK

Thanks but your version crashes after opening the app. I have successfully installed my own rebuild. First I edited the original .apk file you provided with APK Editor. I just changed app name and package name to something different without changing the length. Then I compiled the new .apk file and removed license verification with Lucky Patchers. I can login but when I click on a show I get an error. It says "Something went wrong loading this programme. Error code 02001".

Same error message here. I have tried two different VPN services and one Smart DNS service. None of them worked. Each time the same error message. The only iPlayer on the Firestick that will 'work', is the web version. Not the most convenient way to get to whatever you want to watch, but it's doable. Download Firefox for Firestick, sign up for a BBC account, start your VPN and you're good to go. It still would be so much more convenient if there would be a working app on the Firestick. Is anybody still working on this, by any chance? Thanks!
In my case the "normal" Android Version works on the Fire TV Box 1st Gen. As mentioned by another user before, u have to use a mouse or in my case a bluetooth keyboard with trackpad to navigate around. But it's much stabler than the workaround with firefox and the web version.
I have a fire stick 2nd generation. I will try your option and see if that works better. May I ask where you got that app from?
Thanks!

Go back one page and read what I wrote! (What I wrote was apkmirror...)
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=77310494&postcount=9
*THIS WORKS* I just checked to make sure, and yes, you can use the newest regular Android (phone and tablet) version of BBC Iplayer currently available on your FireTV, bbc.iplayer.android_4.56.2.2-45620002_minAPI16.apk as of today. The one I mentioned on the first page is outdated now. Just search for it on apkmirror. Remember, you will need to use a UK VPN service (I use Express VPN, and East London location) and a mouse or mouse emulator app (Mouse Toggle or CetusPlay) you may also need an app that controls screen orientation... I can't remember if you need it or not for Iplayer, but I use Set Orientation v1.1.4 all the time. Good luck.
Now go smoke me a kipper!

This worked perfectly for me, thank you very much.
Would you be kind enough to share the process/program you used for renaming? I would like to do the same thing for the ITV hub, and if it isn't too difficult, learn to do it myself.
Thank You

Actually there isn't much to know about APK Editor. It is an app to modify package name, app name etc... You can follow this tutorial on Youtube.
new app store version required

Thank You - I'm still bashing my head against a wall with this after trying for nearly a week now....
I've tried renaming with APK edit and also with APK tool and every time I put my edited APK's on the Fire TV I get error: new app store version required.
Your modified APK works great so I know it is something I am either doing or not doing but I'm at a loss.
I've also tried using lucky patcher on files from APKedit and APKtool but it doesn't change the error, I've tried resigning in APKtool, I've tried both Full and 'Common' methods in APKedit. I've also tried putting my modified APK's on both gen 2 and 4k versions of both Fire Sticks and Fire TV's but I get the same error on everything. Your modified APK works perfectly on all devices. I have also tried this on different APK's including originals from ITV, All4, my5 and BBC.
Any suggestions for what I maybe doing wrong or what I can try?
Thank You very much in advance.

Ok, first off let me start by saying I'm a very new user. I purchased a new Amazon Fire Tv stick and tried installing Kodi. My first try I used AdbFire and was unsuccessful. I deleted and redownloaded AdbFire and was able to get installed. I then added SuperRepo and a few add ons with no issue. Even watched a movie that night. The following day I came home and couldn't get any folders to load movies. Kodi seemed sluggish and wouldn't download anything new. I read everything I could online and decided to reinstall Kodi 15.2 as I had accidentally installed 15.1 the first time. Could not get AdbFire to install. Would just constantly process. Was able to use an android app Apps2Fire and get it installed that way. Although that also took quite some time. Now Kodi doesn't load anything. It's very sluggish, won't fully add sources. If I get a source to download, such as SuperRepo, the add ons stay at 0% then cancel or move very slowly 1-3% then cancel. I've checked my internet which is fine. im not too familiar with how to share my debug log but will try after this post. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I'd say there maybe something wrong.... Don't know what but ether something is wrong or your not doing something right? 1. I'd go to the kodi apk & clear cache & data 2. Then try using the following add ons & see if these work - Navi-X, Phoenix, UK Turk (seach on Google how to get them & install) see if that works for you? 3. If not id search on Google or Xda on how to reset your fire TV to factory settings (not sure but it might be in fire tv settings? Think I've seen it somewhere?) Then download Kodi again & send to your stick via App2Fire, then try step 2 again & see if all is ok now? Hope this helps & press that like button If it did.
The best advice after you get Kodi working again Is that you make a Kodi backup, save it somewhere safe (on a pc/phone/sd card/us stick or what ever) & if you have any problems again You can just reinstall Kodi & then reinstall your backup.

Whats your internet speeds ? I always recommend at least 10Mbps if wanting to steam HD , but I seen people do it with less. I had issues like this with fire stick before, thats why I rather use a fire tv. Best advice is to delete and start again. Also make sure you clear cache , I use tvaddon maintenance tools for that. I notice you jump around from source to source , it can hang up especially if you streaming something large in background. Also sometime need a reboot, unplug or hold the two buttons. Also , when changing version of software, be-careful not to install on top old software, Same as restoring from a back up. If you have data in there already, do a fresh start, then restore from you back up. Hope you fix your issues, and good luck, Keep us posted on how you make out .

A year ago, I used this method to import a Mullvad VPN config file into OpenVPN for Android 0.7.8 running on my fire stick (fire os 5.2.7.6), and it worked beautifully and seamlessly. But now I'm trying to do the same thing on my fire tv cube (fire os 7.2.2.4) using OpenVPN for Android 0.7.21, and I can't import the Mullvad configuration file. When I click on the import icon, I get a message that says "No items". It doesn't even let me browse to select the file folder containing the configuration file. I've tried installing the old OpenVPN apk (0.7.8) to see if that makes a difference, and it doesn't. I've googled for that error message, and nothing comes up. I am left to wonder is the different fire os's are playing a part. Does anyone have any ideas for how I can get this to work? Thank you for any suggestions!

You don't need Mouse Toggle to do it. You just go to Settings and then mark "Use internal file browser".
