Another sideload option?

I have nothing to do with this program. I just saw this post on XBMC forum. I have downloaded it and it says it connects. But I haven't used it yet. But it may be another option for people having problems loading apps. Here is the post.
adbFire is a companion program for Android XBMC, (Gotham only). It allows you to sideload XBMC (and other apps) and push files to XBMC subdirectories without the hassle of downloading the Android SDK and other tools. Everything you need is built into adbFire.

I tested this d/l on a non-dev win7 machine, it installed and ran fine. Thanks for helping me test this.

It won't let me post a link to the download because I am a new user. This is in the Amazon Fire TV thread on XBMC forum.Sorry.

You don't need the entire SDK to sideload. Just 3 files adb.exe , AdbWinApi.dll and AdbWinUsbApi.dll. This app just has these embedded. It's not really another option, it's just another method. Ie: Different ways to skin a cat.

xbmc problems with genesis and other video streaming

hi guys i recently got my gf an amazon fire tv now the device isnt rooted but i managed to get spmc installed fine
the plugin itself loads fine but other plugins such as genesis and mashup have real issues 1 issue is that genesis opens up but once i click movies and then go to click 1 of the categories it says loading and just as quick then stops loading at stays at the same menu i was at
i use xbmc on many devices and never had any issues was wondering if anyone could help me solve it or better yet upload there xbmc data so i could restore it to mine using the amazon fire utility app any help would be great thanks

Make sure you are using the new URL: http://fusion.tvaddons.ag
Lambda just updated Genesis to version 3.1.0. It is super fast with new HD sources.

thanks for your reply i was already using the latest its as if im not receiving the sources for some reason or should i be installing any modules as i received errors that the elementtree script didnt have its dependencies met would you mind backing up your xbmc configuration through the fire tv utility for me and sending me it in a zip so i could try yours out please

I would if I could figure out how to backup my SPMC install with adbFire. That's my new daily driver and the most up to date install that I have.

thats no probs mate thanks anyways here is my xbmc log its over my head this but maybe someone can see something in this log that im missing http://xbmclogs.com/show.php?id=342817

Did you open ADBFire preferences and change package name to: com.semperpax.spmc?

back thankfully with my solution it turned out that my router was blocking my amazon fire in the firewall i found this out by disabling the firewall temporarily on the router, and then i was manually able to open the ports to the amazon fire tv box but anyways just letting yous know i got it sorted thanks for all the help

TVAddons released a specific android version called TVMC which will load all that for you automatically. Its still good to learn the inner workings of XBMC though.

getting the same thing on the fire stick genesis movies not working?

Easiest method for copying XBMC setup on fire tv to fire tv stick?

Hello all,
I have been working on my setup on the fire tv device for some time. I have XBMC customized and configured for my sources/shares and chosen add-ons. I just received my fire tv stick and would like to basically copy the setup to the stick.
For some reason I was never able to get the apps like adbFire to work when I tried Backup XBMC / Restore XBMC (now Kodi) so I was wondering what the easiest way to mirror the setup would be? Is there a config file that i could copy from an install on one device to an install on the other that would setup everything? I am thinking that would probably be "too easy" but it might work for the shares/sources.
Look forward to the responses. Thanks all.

Install ES File Explorer. Turn on Remote Manager (basically, it creates an FTP server on the FireStick). Go to the FireTV, enter that info. Go to this thread that I wrote and look at /9
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2793823
Note, if you are using kodi, the folder should be org.xbmc.kodi.

Hi - I was wondering if the process that was described allowed you to mirror image the stick? thank you in advance for the reply - I was also looking for a way to mirror the stick from one to the other to avoid making a complete setup for the multiple sticks I am looking to purchase for the multiple TV's in my house.
Thanks

It should work for as many devices as you want. I use mysql library and exported it then the sources appear on all my devices running the same version of kodi.
I prefer this for several reasons but you need a computer that's on 24/7 to run mysql server.

Firestick and a preconfigured Kodi?

So I'm wondering if it is possible to install Kodi on a firestick, Configure Kodi with add-ons, then once I have Kodi the way I like it, copy it to my computer and then upload it to another Firestick and another and another ect.....?

Just use "ares wizard" find a build you like and just keep installing it. It would be easier than backup and restore but areas allows you to restore backups.

https://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/themes-apps/adblink-v2-04-t3389826

Yes......in terminal/command prompt
adb push "path to Kodi folder that contains addons/user data/etc...../" "/sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/"

Kodi for my FireTV

Hey everyone,
I already try to get this running or even installed since a while now. But all the apps that all this great tutorials name me are not being found on the firetv anymore. I can't install them or even find them. I already turned on that I can install any harmfull application I want and so on, but I am running low on ideas how I get this first step done. It won't let me download any downloader app to install Kodi on it.
Anyone know a way?

AFTVnews is the spot for FTV everything. He wrote his own downloader app, got it in the amazon store, and has a guide on how to use it.
http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-side...on-the-amazon-fire-tv-stick-using-downloader/
Once it's running, install the Kodi Android Installer addon inside Kodi for easy updates.

The problem is, even though I activated all the necessary stuff, it won't let me download the Downloader or ES Explorer, or any other kind of sideloader. It always tells me that it can't find that application.

Install adbLink from jocala.com on your pc. Start it and set up your device with the right IP. Then find the option within adbLink to install android apps on your device.
