Hi All,
I picked up 2 Fire TVs and a Fire TV Stick this past week while in the US. I already have a Fire TV at home and it worked fine. Setup of the Fire TV Stick wasn't as seemless as it seemed that adbFire would get stuck in a loop and never install Kodi so I did it manually through adb.
I've only tried setting up one of the new Fire TVs and I can get Kodi installed and it runs without issues (14.2 - 2015-03-26) however after installing IkonoTV and linking it through Llama (1.2014.11.20.2330) it doesn't load from the Home screen. I've launched Llama and tried to "Test Actions" the screen flickers and goes back to Llama never loads Kodi.
Current software version for the Fire TV is 51.1.5.0_user_515012720.
Update:
I figured it out. I updated to 51.1.5.3_user_515040320 and it started working.
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?
Hello, I'm struggling to find much info but I'm trying to figure out if this is the right forum for Amazon fire TV stick, I'm seeing lots of stuff for Amazon fire TV but is this the exact same as fire TV stick?
I'm basically wanting to have my fire TV stick setup with something like Nova launcher and install a TV app for watching TV and also a few other apps for TV shows ect.
Any info would be gratefully received and if I'm in the wrong place I apologise but if you could point me into the correct place that would be great.
Thanks
I have both and the Fire TV is better/faster. The Fire Stick is good if you plan to move it around to different TVs or take it with you while you travel.
They are basically the same thing though, just one has better specs. If this is for your main living area I would get the Fire TV not the stick.
Hi,
I had sideloaded Directv for tablet app onto my 2nd gen Fire TV Stick running latest version and successfully login to my account. However, the app is keep crashed randomly every time I run the app. it is a matter of time, sometime it crash during navigation within the app, sometime during streaming LiveTV.
Anybody had same problem with me? Please let me know how to get rid of it. Is it crashed because of Fire TV stick have lower spec than Fire TV so that it can't handle Directv app? Does Fire TV handled it well?

Hi,
My Panasonic TV normally switches on automatic when I press a button on the remote of my second generation fire tv stick, but this stopped after the June 15 update on my stick. Hdmi cec is turned on on the stick as well as on the TV. Is it a known bug? Or what else could I check?
Seeing the same on a Phillips tv. Stock FireTV Stick v2
Ditto, same problem with HDMI-CEC not working

I am also experiencing the same problem with Nvidia Shield 1st generation and the AFTV 2nd generation box. Each box got an update within a week or two from each other. After the updates, none of the AFTV or the NS boxes HDMI-CEC features work anymore. I have checked and rechecked and have completed a series of resets and tests to verify functionality, but each had the results of not working.
I am wondering if the developer vender is the same one that is hired by each company. If that is the case, then there could be more devices out there that is experiencing the same issue. Anyone have a fix or know of a knowledge database where I can check to see if there is a fix or a workaround?
Try the Home button on the fire TV remote. I noticed the same behavior with/to my LG television, formerly every button switched on my TV. Since the update only the Home works.

Has anyone figured out a fix to this? I am also experiencing this issue on my Samsung TV. I've tried all buttons, no avail. This issue exists on both of my Amazon devices: Fire TV 2nd Gen and 3rd Gen.
Same here
I have the same problem. Hdmi CEC stopped working on my Fire TV (1. Gen). CEC ist active on my TV and Fire TV but the TV (Samsung) does not turn on anymore. Failure is in Amazon device, because my Google Chromecast and PS4 do turn on the TV. A already swapped the Hdmi ports to exclude failure in the port on the TV. I'm sure the Amazon Fire TV is guilty. Amazon is crap in terms of software development and bug fixing. For example, the android companion app for alexa does not work on my devices with android pie. It crashs at start. Amazon support told me, I should test an older version of the app... several month passed, still no solution - that's very unprofessional. I replaced all Echos by Google Homes. Now it seems, it is time to replace all Fire TVs.
