Is anyone having issues with Kodi today?? I clicked on the kodi app that I downloaded on the amazon appstore and it is telling me that it is incompatible. So I downloaded kodi and sideloaded it thru my computer and I am getting the same response.
I think it's normal for Amazon to tell you it's incompatible. You have to side load it. That being said, you should use SPMC instead of Kodi.

I have the FIre TV Stick and have been quite impressed with it so far. I have purchased a bunch of apps from the Amazon Appstore for my phone/tablets, and would like to give them a try on the stick through sideloading. Some of these have been Fire TV apps as well so the controls should work with the stick, or at least I'm hoping so. Is there any way to download the APKs directly from the appstore or is the only way to get them by recovering the apks that I've downloaded to my phone or tablet with a backup utility? Many I no longer have on the phone or tablet, so I would have to reinstall them first, then back up and extract. If there was a more direct method of gaining them, I'd appreciate it. I know there is with the Google Play Store, but hoping for something similar with Amazon.
I recently set up a unit with ikono tv to launch kodi and for some reason it seems like it launches kodi but then goes back to ikono tv. Or mabye it is closing kodi. Is this happening for anyone else or does anyone know how to fix this? I looked at the history in llama and it says ikono tv > spmc... I am using spmc version.

Maybe give this a try: http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/themes-apps/app-aftv-launcher-helper-t3020515
I use launcher helper since quite some time and never looked back. This is by far the easiest way to launch into kodi without root access while still being able to use the AFTV launcher.
Unfortunately I can't comment on sacrificing apps, but if you just want an easier way to launch kodi/spmc there is an alternative you could consider which I've had no problems with (apart from after a software upgrade which had to be fixed using another guide):

I got it working it had something to do with the version right before the latest update... I updated and resolved it.
Junk stuck on my Fire TV stick?
I got a Fire TV stick and did nothing but sideload Kodi and everything was working great for days. Then I started loading it up with other apps and noticed Kodi started buffering and wasn’t able to play some streams (I have over 50Mbps). I did a factory reset and reloaded Kodi but the slowness has stayed. I am going to start trying the usual fixes, but is it possible that some remnants of the other apps are still in there slowing me down? I had put Llama, ES file explorer, Chrome, and some kids educational apps (as sacrificial apps to try to get Kodi on the home screen via Llama) before the factory reset. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
I have a fire tv stick as well. Loaded kodi and installed the build I want.
I then installed Firestarter.
Then I restarted the stick a couple times. Then I loaded up the apps that I wanted to use (xfinity TV, a couple games for the kids, etc)... I don't really have too many issues with buffering, although, I have also edited my "advancedsettings.xml" file as well.
I also have a 75MB connection...

Have you downloaded kodi from Amazon when was available? If so go in your Amozon account and delete app then go to your fire TV Settings/My account/ deregister account, sign back in and the re-synk. BTW mine shows up and I am on v16
:good:I can confirm this method works fine
Hi
when I setup a Youtube from amazon appstore, it gave me a warning, Youtube is incompatible with your device (my device is firetv gen1, with the lastest firmware 5.2.4.1), why?
one of my another firetv, I can setup youtube app and use it.
It's because I attached more than 2 firetv on a same amazon account?
after a night, it's ok.
