I wasn't able to use the fire stick to watch live tv with kodi and nextpvr because of constant buffering. This post recommends using SPMC, and that worked for me.

I am debating between this and Roku 3. Has anyone had issue using your verizon hotspot with Amazon fire TV? Any buffering issues with netflix, mlb tv, and other streaming systems? Normally I pull from 5 to 20 Mbps.
Having some interesting issues with my firetv with xbmc that I never had when using an apple tv with xbmc.
I run a mysql server. It is running and XBMC Attaches to it perfectly.
But my issues are that as follows
1. Watched state disappears if fire tv is rebooted
2. cannot resume my movies from where I left off
3. some posters revert to poster I don't even have.
Wondering if anyone has anything I can try to see where the problem is.
Mysql runs on my mac pro, with the xbmc media files store on the hard drives there.
My fire tv uses sources.xml which has all my sources mapped.
Content settings don't stay on my setup for type of content.
My main concern is it is as if the database for xvmc is wiped every time I reboot the fire tv...
This never happened on openelec with my apple tv 1st gen running 13.2 and never happened when on eden on apple tv 1st gen original os, and never happened on xbmc 13.2 on an android mx2 box I had.
Everything was working with resume, watched state, etc on the other systems that ran 13.2, so not sure why the fire tv is doing it.
Fire tv is rooted, updates blocked, boots into XBMC using the xbmc launcher.
Advanced settings file has all the settings and I know it is using it because I have checked and it is using it.
I am at a loss as to why it seems as if my database is constantly resetting on mysql....
Hi,
I encountered the serious buffering on original hulu app on my fire tv. (It's not bandwidth's fault. my bandwidth is about 50M. meanwhile my netflix works as well. and the hulu on my Samsung smart Tv works as well. because there is a quality option to adjust the video. when I encounter the buffering, I just lower the quality , then It's ok). however there is not a quality option for original hulu app on fire tv.
So last night I uninstalled the original hulu, then sideloaded the hulu.apk. It's much better, I got the quality option and I can adjust the quality of video with mouse. Sometimes I still get the buffering.
1. Does anyone who play hulu on fire tv encounter the same trouble on amazon fire tv? How do you cope with the trouble?
2. I got dozes hulu app from xda, which version is suitable for fire tv? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1822341)
3. if I setup the XBMC, Can I decrease the buffering of hulu?
4. if I buy a Andodid box, and setup hulu.apk, Can I solve this touble? I can't bare the hulu buffering on my fire tv
thanks
Guys i put kodi on my fire TV stick and all worked well running along TV addons for a couple of hours. Then the stick crashed. I've kept kodi on there but it has deleted my TV addons and I can't reinstall it. It download fine but halfway through extracting the file it causes the stick to crash. I'm running helix 14.2 but 14.1 on my normal fire TV and that's fine
I've gone back to helix 14.1 to see if that solves it.
Kodi is crashing on my fire stick after I plugged it into a samsung smart TV. Also the Bluetooth remote is a nightmare. All worked well when it was connected to a normal TV (not smart) any ideas
Hi, has anyone had any luck with this app side-loaded on the new Fire TV? Installed it OK, but when launched, it brings up the NBC logo, then just goes back to the main menu. It works fine on my Fire TV Stick running OS3. Same things happens with Dish Anywhere, working fine on Stick, but not on new Fire TV?
