I'm trying to use the keymap editor in the Kodi tweaks for FTV add-on by elmerohueso, and when I choose the custom keymap I want, it's not working. I just upgraded to Kodi 15.2, so I'm not sure if that's the issue. It worked fine on an older version of Kodi that I was using. I just click on the keymap I want to use, right? It stays highlighted, so I know I have it selected. Am I missing something?

Hi,
I am setting up Kodi on another Android box and want to clone all settings from my AFTV. I know how to backup my Kodi settings but don't know how to restore it to my new box.
Please help
There's an addon for that - I've used it succesfully before to move whole instalation, including library to different device.
I think it's this one:

The one time I botched my SPMC (manually tried to clean some files to the point it would not recognize the installation) I simply copied my backup folder (com.semperpax.spmc) over the new installed one. The same works for Kodi (folder name is different, but still under /Android/data)
I've unistalled Kodi by mistake. :laugh: I've been able to reinstall it and restore my settings but I don't remember how to install web interfaces on it? When I select "Get more" in the webserver part I get empty list of web interfaces. I was somehow using AWXi before, but can't install it now (I tried installing from zip but it got me "wrong structure" error). I am using kodi nightlies.

Maybe they are considered broken in the nightly builds. Broken addons are filtered out of Kodi 14. If you install a repo and it has broken addons it will no longer show the broken addons in the list of addons, cause it now hides them so that you can only see working addons. My advice would be to manually install the addon. Meaning to manually put the addon folder inside the XBMC folder. I am using SPMC and they show up so they are not considered broken on my build. If you go to settings/addons/get addons/all addons/web servers and they are not listed, they are probably flagged as broken in your build. If they are not listed maybe you should think about moving to a stable release of KODI, cause nightly builds are not supposed to be used as your daily build and they even tell you on their site that they are for testing only. I recommend SPMC 14.1, cause its the only build of XBMC that I can get to play all streams smoothly. It seemed like every other version of XBMC I tried would play some files smoothly, but not all, depending on the fie type. I stopped using nightly builds of any program when I realized they were more of a headache than stable builds.
Thanks. I will try adding them manually.
Latest nightlies have rewinding for network sources fixed which made up for the lack of web services for me though, so I will stick to them for now even if the web interface won't work. (PS. For me Kodi plays smoothly everything I throw at it on FIre TV apart from HEVC of course, if you have trouble check if the hardware decoding works - for me it stopped once and I had to reboot the device for it to start working again).

Updating to Kodi is easy just google: kodi android , download the APK. and install it using ADBFIRE and bam. You are updated to kodi 14.1.
About updates it's up to you no one knows.
thanks very much . if i want to upgrade to kodi , do i have to uninstall the version thats already on the AFTV or will the new install overwrite xbmc ? thanks

Make sure you backup your addons and userdata folder before you upgrade. If you are comfortable doing that, nuke your current XBMC app and install KODI as a clean install and push your backed up folders back to your FTV. Irrespective if you do that or run adb install with "-r" option (not sure with different folder structure of KODI from XBMC, you might have to manually clean your old install of XBMC), it might be in your interest to get familiar with backup/restore of KODI for future reference. You can use adb pull or ES Explorer or probably a gazillion other options to pull/push folder to FTV. Maybe ADBFire has it as well, I don't use that app.
Right now I have TVMC on my fire tv. I would like to install KODI on it instead of the configured TVMC
Can I just backup my addons/settings/ uninstall TVMC, install kodi then restore my addons and every thing so that I will have everything I had before even the repos?
Also what are the advantages of kodi vs TVMC?

Yes. Download the backup addon. Backup -> uninstall TVMC -> install Kodi -> reinstall the backup addon -> restore.
I always do it the easy way, copy the addons folder and the userdata folder to a different directory. Uninstall, then install another build, open once, then overwrite the addons and userdata folders with the ones I copied from the last build. Also, I highly recommend SPMC on the Fire TV, cause its the only variant of Kodi that I can find to play all streams smoothly. I kept getting streams that were buggy/jittery and never played smooth, so I decided to try SPMC and have not had one problem since. The difference in playing streams was instantly noticable from using Kodi to using SPMC.

Download the Xfinity repo source (Google it), then install the Sdcard Usb wizard, make a default location for your backup then launch the addon, pick full backup, & if you send the backup to your stick then follow the instructions again, now push the backgrounds, you now have it working on your stick. Now download the Community Portal source (Google it), go into settings/maintenance & select "Turn to Special", now press that thanks button on Xda
Note
after you install if it don't work properly first time do reinstall the full backup again cause sometimes it takes 2 try )
Great thanks!!! I will try it later today.
