Hi,
I have 2 Fire TV boxes (2nd generation) .. Previously setup everything up. I use Kodi for my movie library and like having the homepage icon. I was previously able to get the Kodi icon to appear in the recent area of the Amazon homepage by deregistering and registering (somestimes took 2-3 tries) but the icon would appear. Just received a 3rd box for my basement TV -- Its updated to v.5.2.1.0 and now I can't get the Kodi icon to appear. I'm using the same Amazon account I have always used on my other boxes with a working icon, tried deregister, register about 7 times, sync etc... Nothing. Anyone know if this feature was disabled by Amazon on the most recent update.
Thanks

HI,
I have just bought a Fire Tv from Amazon UK.
After i turned it on it started to update, and i left it to do its thing.
I have managed to install XBMC Gotham 13.2 via adbFire, and works absolutely fine, but with ONE BIG PROBLEM.
Nothing is working, not even 1 add-on in XBMC is not working.
1 Channel is setup properly, as i have an ATV2 with XBMC on it and everything works fine.
But when you open 1channel or ice films, when you navigate to films or tv shows, instead of trying to load the list, its just EMPTY.
I have restored it 4 times, installed several versions of the XBMC but to no avail.
PLEASE HELP!!!

Thank you so much for Your help!!! It worked straight away!
Now i can watch a film or two! ?
I got a German AFTV - Unluckily it had Firmware 5.1.3.0 from start. I managed to get through initial setup without updating it to a higher version so far.
I have
amzdigitaldownloads.edgesuite.net and
softwareupdates.amazon.com
blocked in my router to prevent updates.
The sideloaded XBMC works fine, but I have a problem regarding the FireTV main launcher - I can't use a single feature here - I only get a message about a broken network connection. Only thing working is the remotes search button. Using text search I can even watch movies from my Amazon Instant subscription - but the main menu stays empty. No Apps, no other media. Should I block unblock other sites? Can I change something to get Amazon content back on my device?
Hello,
Im a big time newbie, Now that I got that out of the way. I been trying to install Kodi onto the stick but for some reason it just loops like its installing it again. I just bought my fire stick from amazon like 2 weeks ago. Help please
This is the simplest set of instructions that I have found, worked fine for me: http://sideloadfiretv.com/sideload-apps-amazon-fire-tv-windows/
After that, if you want the Kodi icon to show up in the Recent row of the FireTV, use the Amazon Appstore (from a PC worked for me, I didn't try it from a device) to install Kodi on another Android device that's connected to the same Amazon account as your FireTV. After it's installed and synced to your account, you should be able to see the icon (the icon is there in Settings/Applications/Manage Installed Applications regardless, you just need to trick your FireTV before it will show in the Recent row).
version 15 was showing but the new verison whcih i just pushed via adb has dissapeared? can anyone tell me a way of bringing it back to the homescreen
initially i remember getting the app from the amazon fire store
thanks
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

did you use amazon youtube app with the blue icon or sideload another one? also did you try using youtube in kodi?
I have a similar scenario. I am using the Amazon youtube app not a sideloaded one. I haven't tried Kodi plugin

i will try and test it out but google casting is very tempermental for me
sometimes i get a message saying no devices in the chrome icon for tab cast while the youtube one is working and or vice versa i will have to test it out with with all 3 apps amazon youtube, sideload youtube and kodi
using the standard "blue" youtube app, it does not appear at all in my casting list, i have 2 fire tv boxes (gen 1 and 2) and they both have vanished from casting, very annoying. its not my phone or the youtube app on my phone as it still casts fine to chromecast (as you would expect) but it apears now to have been disabled on the Fire TV
