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

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?
Hey guys, new member here.
Can anyone guide me on how set up an advanced xml setting file in fire tv and fire tv stick?

When I launch the Twitch app on my Amazon Fire TV Stick it's the old, super bare-bones version of the app, but when I look under the overview page the pictures are of a newer more shiny version of the app with more features. I guess the Fire TV Stick is stuck with the old version, possibly due to it's spec limitations. I really want the new apk so I can install it on my Nexus Player and my Fire TV stick, but I can't find the apk anywhere online. Could someone please install it on their Fire TV and rip the apk here for me. I would really appreciate it.

Just buy a new/used unaltered FireTV or FireTV Stick at the best price possible. Then learn more about sideloading Kodi. (Kodi can be installed on most Android devices, PC's, Mac's, Linux)

Install FireStarter v3.2.2 using ES Explorer - https://github.com/sphinx02/FireStarter/wiki/Install-FireStarter-and-Kodi-(only-FireTV-needed)
