Hey ya all,
I have kodi on my PC (it's my test subject). I have it all set up the way I want it on my PC and want to movie the settings to my amazon fire tv (the hockey puck one). Is there a way to do this?
Thanks again.

Copy the userdata of kodi onto your firetv /android... kodi folder. I am not close to the firetv to tell you the exact folder location but i don't know why it wouldn't work.
I would also suggest to copy addons foder

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!!
I am trying to use my firestick to cut cable cost some. And I was told that the Charter app lets me view all of my content, unfortunately on the amazon store I can download to android devices besides my fire stick. Is there a way around this..?

I used this to install a variety of apps to my Fire TV Stick.
sideloadfiretv dotcom
Has anyone got this to work. Side loaded on rooted Fire TV gen 1, get error code C117 when trying to watch video. Charter boxes have been down for a day now. Watching on tablets is only option right now.
Playstore app to apk converter & copy playstore links (Google search)
Download spectrum TV apk
Firetv/Fire TV Sticks:
Sideload
(Google hint: adb fire -pc- or app 2 fire -Android app-)
Install:
Mouse toggle apk
Spectrum tv apk
Android tv & Android Boxes:
Place apk on flash drive
Plug in
Get file manager
Navigate to USB drive install apk
Use mouse (USB) or get remote with mouse
A little annoying to use but works
Shield should be the same
But if you have the full playstore
Can someone get a root file manager
Copy the base apk for stectrum tv app for the shield
I want to test it on a firestick and see if it fixes the landscape issue when picking channels
Use ultimate rotation app to fix landscape problem.

Seems like a long way to go. Why not just push the file to the SD card of the ftv stick and configure it from there? Am i missing something?
i mean a channel list that someone posts every now and again , may be just to watch a football match or something ( the lists may not last long before they dont work anymore ) sometimes they are a m3u list , hope you understand

Ive used m3u playlists before i just dont get the part where you need to access it from fire tv to use it on stick. If it works on one itll work on the other. So if i follow... What i might do is install es file explorer on both then make it so they connect over your network then you can send yhe list wherever you want.
Im not using iptv at the moment, but theres probably a way to access playlists over the network instead of it being stored locally on your device.
Hi,
I purchased a Philips 50PUS7303/12 a few days ago and although very happy with the screen quality I was very disappointed to find that the TV doesn't have the full Play Store or the ability to sideload apps and this was the main reason for going for this Android TV as it just fitted within my budget. Can anyone offer a way to get around this limitation (Philips are shooting themselves in the foot by making it this restrictive). I wanted to install ITV Hub, All 4 and My5, along with TV Catchup as freeview is bad in my area.
Another issue I have still related to the TV, is how to get proper 'Freesat' with EPG. Most of the channels have no name and they are in no proper order. Is there any way to address this.
Thanks in advance for any help that can be offered.
Regards,
Robert.
I also plan on purchasing this TV (i.e the 65") and was interested in installing apks. From what I've read on reviews on Amazon UK, you should be able to do this by enabling "unknown sources" from the Google security settings, put any .apk files that you have on a USB and use a file explorer (e.g ES File explorer) to find the USB directory and install the .apk files from there. Should be a piece of cake.
Let me know it this works as this is one of the main reasons why I am interested in buying this smart TV.
Hi jpapadami,
I tried doing that and was able to install ITV Hub, All 4 and My5, but of these apps would show on screen. Going to setting and apps I was able to see each application but was unable to open any of them. ES file explorer installed OK and I was also able to install Modbro.
Regards,
Robert.
Hi, oldish thread but I just got the same TV on a black Friday deal. However its not worth keeping the tv if I cant get itvhub and other UK catch-up apps to work.
I can side load the apps made for non TV devices, but i really want the TV versions as they work better with the remote.
Closest I can find is an xda thread from 2016 where someone pulled the apps from a fire TV device then removed the Amazon requirements from them so they would work on any Android TV device, unfortunately those apks don't work anymore. But I think that looks like the best way?
I've also had a poke around on my Sony android TV, which has all the catch-up apps linked to youview, but I can't find any apks to pull and even if I could i suspect they will be locked to Sony
You can always use aptiode for the apps and use tv app repo to link them / create shortcuts on the main menu.

You need to side load aptoide. Search Google and look for the app called TV APP Repo. It wi create the shortcuts on the leenback launcher.

Hi...
the Thread is a bit older but thats not important. To install any other Apps that are not to find in Android-Tv Play-Store is that simple as to dig in your nose xD
first go to Play-Store and install a file explorer like x-plore to your Tv.
Now you can download any App---apk with you Computer and put it on a USB-Stick or USB-HDD/SSD. Transfer the portable device with your own Hands from PC to Tv Connect the portable Device to USB on the Tv and open the file-explorer. OpenRoot of the portable Device where the apk from the App is in. Choose the apk file and install it to Tv. If you now have a custom Launcher on Tv like sideload-Launcher or ATV-Launcher. Lte your installed Apps shown in this Launcher cause in the stock-Launcher not all Apps would be listet and showing.
Thats all...that easy right.
