It is a very handy app with many options. Now when you start the Flixter app it should automatically open XBMC. > Goto ‘EVENTS’ on top menu > Click ‘+’ to add new event > Select ‘ADD CONDITION’ > Select ‘Active Application’ > Select ‘Choose App’ > Select ‘Flixter’ >This should return you to Events Menu> Select ‘Add Action’ > Select ‘Run Application’ > Select whatever the name of your XBMC build is. > Launch Llama (From FireTV – Setting>Applications>Llama>Launch Application).
We can do a few more things to make our experience in Amazon TV more fanciful and more “accurate”.įirst you will want to install Llama, an Android app, that allows you to launch the Fire TV application through another application sitting on the home screen of Amazon Fire TV. You can then launch Kodi in Amazon Fire TV (under Manage Installed Applications in Settings).Ĭheck that you are now running the latest Kodi version:īut this utility is more than side loading Kodi into your Amazon TV. If you click on “3” above, you can then check in the CMD window and see the progress till it is completed. One thing I noticed (not sure is it due to IE or is it due to Windows 10) but when I download the APK file, it became a ZIP file ! You have to rename it back to APK. We will then use this utility to sideload the APK into our Amazon TV. Then go to Kodi web site and download the latest Kodi version V15 for Amazon Fire TV. You should check the CMD Window (basically a DOS window) to see the status. So do choose the CMD Window Status as “Normal Debug Mode” I find it very useful to see whether the connection to the Amazon TV has started, has the backup completed and has the transfer of files from your PC to the Amazon TV gone through. Then upon launching the utility (I suggest you un-zip the utility and then copy it to C: Drive), you will be asked to enter the IP address of your Amazon Fire TV.Īlso I suggest you change the setting to show the status of your work in a COMMAND screen else you might do something and then not sure if it is really happened. Then you have to find out the IP address of your Amazon TV in your home network. However, this time, instead of using the normal method of updating through the Amazon SDK method (see this pat notebook very popular link), I wanted to try out an utility app to do the upgrade as well as do some fanciful updates.įirst, I visited this site: Amazon FireTV Utility to download the utility. I decided to upgrade my current version (version 14) to it as Version 14 (Isengard) should be pretty stable by now. Cannot wait to get my hands on it soon too 🙂 Kodi (the new name for XBMC, my favourite media software) is now on Kodi v15 (Isengard) version and as usual, I want to upgrade it in my favourite Amazon Fire TV.Īnd oh, did I mentioned that Amazon has just upgraded the Fire TV (for 4K experience !!)Īmazon is starting to sell this 2nd version of Fire TV.
