hello
i am having a hard time installing xbmc on my fire tv stick
i can get my amazon fire tv stick it to connect using adbfire but i have to use a different ip address that is showing on the about screen on my amazon fire tv stick so instead of 192.168.1.11 (which is the ipaddress on my fire tv stick) i used 192.168.1.1 and it connects. then when i try to install xbmc apk from desktop via abdfire the green status bar just loads and loads and loads. i left it going all night last night and i still did not get a successful this morning.
when i enter this different ip address in the command prompt (via adt bundle- sdk- platform tools) it will connect but then when i type check devices it says offline so i cant install the xbmc apk
ive also tried installing spmc and cannot get it to show up on my amazon fire tv stick even after syncing and looking for it on the cloud
Are you using Windows? Try right clicking on adbfire and running as an administrator.

maybe i downloaded adbfire wrong? i dont think so though.
I downloaded - unzipped it- then clicked on the adbfire icon and it opened up the app then i try inputting ipaddress of the amazon fire tv stick and it keeps saying device not connected..
i also have adb debug mode turned on
idk

AFAICT, the problem isn't related to adbFire. The OP can't ping the FireTV Stick's IP address. Hopefully, more eyeballs here can help get his network problem fixed. I can't be positive, but I think 192.168.1.1 may be his router.
I'd try removing adbFire from the equation. Open a command-line and CD to the adbFire folder. Then try running adb.exe from the command-line. Try:
Code:
adb connect 192.168.1.11:5555
just like you tried:
Code:
ping 192.168.1.11
Try manually assigning the fire tv stick an ip address with your router that way you always know what its ip address is. 192.168.1.1 is definitely not it
fire tv
ok i took fire tv to friends house last night and got it to connect on her router via command . I was then able to install xbmc via command on fire tv stick.
so it must be something with my router?
i tried connecting via command when i got back to my house and could not connect.
I also tried inputting adb connect 192.168.1.11:5555 but no luck.
192.168.1.11 is the ip address shown on the fire tv stick
how do you manually assign the fire tv stick an ip address?
also how do you install apps like 1 channel and icefilms on to the fire tv stick once xbmc is installed.
i may try getting a new router
thanks
adbfire
also i could not get the fire tv stick to connect to adbfire even at my friends house.

Make sure that you disable your firewall on both your PC and your router.
I have a fire stick and I am trying to install Kodi on it. I have the fire stick utility app and it show it is connected to the sick. When I try to side load Kodi it says it can't find my device. What am I doing wrong??
Thanks
Is there a way to gain remote access to Amazon Fire Stick via a pc?

Does it require root?
Nope no need root. Your fire tv and pc has to be on same network. Just install and use it.
Apparently support for the DisneyLife app is coming to the Stick but is currently only available on Android TV and the Fire TV.
Has anyone got the TV apk I can try sideloading or has anyone tried it already on the stick?
Have successfully tried the normal android device apk but its touch screen heavy so difficult to navigate!
Thanks!
You need an Android phone to do this.
If using with Fire TV, please make sure you are connected to the same wifi and have 'ADB Debugging' switched on in your Fire TV settings. Also if you are looking to sideload any apps from CetusPlay to your android or Fire device, make sure 'apps from unknown sources' is switched on!
Install CetusPlay From Play Store, the round icon one and connect to your fire TV/stick, go to App Center and happy sideloading!!!
