Yesterday by accident I found a thread on kodi forums with new release from some guy and I checked it first on my phone to see if prime is working and it indeed does work.
But there are some issues some videos might not play so hopefully the guy who did it updates it or fixes it but I just spent last 30 min on my fire tv testing what works and what does not
Here is what you do in order to get it to work on your Fire TV:
1) Download this zip (repo) and put it somewhere on your fire TV:
Link: https://code.google.com/p/addonscri...=repository.addonscriptorde-beta.zip&can=2&q=
2) Go to add-ons on your kodi/xbmc and install the repo
3) go to settings addons - get addons and download the Amazon Prime Instant Video from "Video-Addons" inside AddonSCriptorde Beta Repo
4) launch the prime addon select it as USA, set your settings like quality etc... then it should ask you to LOG-IN after you select US.
5) You should be able to browse tv shows/movies etc..
6) upon selecting play for certain movie/tv-show episode it should ask you to switch to Flash Player (no idea how it works on Fire TV) or any other android device without flash.
On my phone I don't have flash but on my fire tv I do and they both work.
Note: without prime instant access you can view things like Pilot episodes to test it out.
Now we need someone who can try and see why some videos will play and why some won't
Someone who is smart dig into these logs when some videos don't play and tell us what to do about it
What is the advantage here? Prime is standard app on the FireTV. Just curious.
Curious as to why someone would want to use an xbmc add-on for Amazon Instant Video when AIV is one of the core features of the Fire TV? I use built-in AIV all the time and it works great. Why use some hack add-on that will never be nearly as reliable as the official app? Do you not like the built-in AIV? I'm genuinely curious. Could be missing out on something here...

In my case I am not a biggest fan of the KFTV Launcher I actually like the way it is made on Kodi with that plugin.
It's just me maybe there are some other people who prefer it that way
It's good to have options. Enjoy!

Fair enough then, OP. Good luck with the add-on!

Thanks oh and also the themes are great that it works with any kodi theme you use.
Just wanted to post it so some people are aware of it.:good:
You can add Videos from the addon to your library just like they are local stored. So you can extend your local movies with amazon instant links.
You don't have to switch between your library and amazon Instant.
Adding ALL amazon Videos to library is not implented yet, i'm working on it

It is set to [email protected] I thought about the HD because everything it plays shows SD after played.
And looking at my Watchlist the HDs are not playing whereas the SDs are. Was just my first impression.
Are you aware of another addon for Amazon Prime Video?

There are other but require to use real version of chrome not mobile.
It somehow uses chrome then passes video to kodi/xbmc addon.
I would give this dev some time he will for sure fix it. This is already one of the best I have seen.
This plugin broke the genesis plugin for me. .. would be great to have this working. specially when the AFTV skin for Kodi is released.

I don't see anyway this could break another plugin which is weird. And yea I tried googling for the aftv skin for kodi but all they do is show bunch of youtube videos.. I would gladly even pay few bucks for this.
With root this could be huge adding android apps etc.. making kodi act like a launcher.
This would be great for those with rooted devices who may one day be able to upgrade to CM12 / Android TV ROM. I am fairly certain that this upgrade will eliminate access to the current Fire TV Launcher and Amazon content. It would be nice to be able to access Amazon Prime if and when CM12 is possible from other sources.
Anyway to get this to pass 5.1 sound information to my receiver?
Or can that data not be captured from the Flash version of Prime.
This is very worth while if it works. Lots of people like to boot right into Kodi. Plus I hate just about everything about KFTV launcher. I think it's too tedious to navigate. The voice search was a great idea and the tech is perfect at picking up your voice but it often yields a bunch of results that you need to pay extra for. I think kodi has the best interface.
Hi I am from India and I have a Indian prime video account. Will this add-on work for that??

I figured this needs a new thread since the others have been derailed by people trying to update!
1) Speed, finally a speedup! The lockscreen is faster, switching apps is faster, the browser is faster (scrolling/zooming/flash video/scrolling with flash video open) , the launcher is faster... I could go on and on about how fast it is now.
2) Smooth 720p flash video playback
3) Mouse support, tried it out and it works great!
4) Joystick support is cool but no apps seem to support it yet, it doesn't show up as a general input device as I had hoped, you have to specifically program for the joystick api I believe.
5) Resizable widgets! Even this operation is silky smooth
6) Scrollable app switching
does it address the wifi driver leak? better yet, documentation or release notes on this update?
Nice post. Thanks for the information. I speak for nearly everyone who at this time hasn't received the update when I say I can't wait to get my hands on 3.1 on my rooted Xoom!
I, for one, am most excited about the following: resizable widgets, mouse support (btw - what kind of mouse are you using? bluetooth or usb/wired?), and most importantly the overall speed-up and bug fixes (such as smoother 720p video playback) across the entire Android Honeycomb OS.
Kudos to Google for knocking it out of the park with this one. Maybe nothing absolutely groundbreaking or super innovative, but all we really wanted anyway was a quality level of polish added to the amazing base OS we already had. That's what we're getting with 3.1. Yay.

how do you resize the Widgets? I've been trying this for an hour.
The quick launch controls for the browser have been updated as well. Very cool. You can scroll pages using the controls without having to scroll up the page.

It only works on list widgets, like the email and bookmark widgets. Hold down on the widget like you're going to move it and then set it back down.
For those who had tested 3.1 in their Xoom's, there is a improvement in 720p & 1080p video files?
I have the Asus Transformer and wondering about that stuff, since the Xoom owners are the first receiving 3.1
Any video hardware acceleration?

I've always only had the gallery app to play movies. The movie rental program is called 'videos'
Edit: Speaking of which, the Videos app has a 'Personal Videos' tab, which shows all of your videos in a nicer display than the gallery app... nice!

I noticed the broken shortcut for movie studio on the desktop but then opened the apps drawer and the icon there opened it right up. Take a look see if it works for you.

I was reading this article on gottabemobile.com About XDA porting the Netflix HD app to the Galaxy Nexus..and I thought, umm why don't I try that on my Note....Installed the APK from their link...OMG BEAUTIFUL. I started up the New Star Trek Movie, awesome, the old Star Trek, awesome again...the interface is a bit small as its made for tablets I guess, but just pull your stylus out and there is no problem here!
On one small note. I used Chrome to Phone to send myself the APK link. After I got the APK link I also got bombarded with spam links via Chrome to Phone on my notification bar. I had to uninstall Chrome to Phone after 12 notifications about "Hot Girls" I'm guessing this is almost like uncontrolled. pop ups on the server that was serving the APK file. Hopefully I can re-install it with-out the spam, as I use Chrome to Phone a lot!
Edit:
Just connected it to my LCD...it does not look like 1080p when compared to running a youtube 1080p video
Well darn...
I actually can't stand the interface. Without the stylus it's very hard to navigate. Very hard. I wish I could switch it back but still keep the high res video.
The normal netflix app on the Note was also very small as I remember from the handful of times I used it before I installed this APK. Though the actually interface does seam just a tad different.
OP are you sure about that?
I was under the impression that Netflix HD only will stream 720p content to OMAP equipped phones at the moment.
I tried the APK on my Note and movies look exactly the same as the regular Netflix App, still looking standard definition to me.
I have no way to confirm that it is actually playing HD. They look great to me. Though I must admit, I only used it a handful of times previously. The APK works and it's functional. I'll try and use the HDMI Out Cable and see if there is any improvident....
Edit:

don't discount this app just yet. It definitely plays video better than the app i installed it over. I watch a lot of space docs on netflix, and they have looked terrible because of the black "blockiness" problem with the note. This version of netflix looks amazing on the note compared to the one i had downloaded from the market. this fixes one of my only disappointments with my phone!
and it also gives me hope that the video issues can be fixed by software alone!

Can you tell me which APK you are using? I am sure we are using the same one and the picture is not any different to me than the stock. This is definitely not 720P. am I the only one who feels this way? Also I keep seeing people refer to HD content on Netflix. How can we tell which it is? Thanks.

I installed the playon app from the market..then i installed mx video player from the market (don't know if it's really needed but i think it runs better than the stock video player) and after a couple of minutes i was watching netflix on my cm9! With some router tweaks i can now watch my shows anywhere there is wifi too! The picture is of course not high def but it plays pretty good considering there is no hw accel being used. Don't know if this helps anyone but just thought i'd put it out there cuz i'm finally able to watch netflix and hulu on my cm9!!!!

Hi,
I just got my Ouya (supposedly the retail version). I installed XBMC using these instructions from XMBChub.
http://www.xbmchub.com/blog/2013/06/02/how-to-install-xbmc-to-the-ouya-gaming-console/
But the video is still sometimes skippy...like maybe there's no hardware acceleration. I kept hearing a few weeks ago about the "stagefright" version of XBMC, but that's not what XBMChub said to do...
Should I uninstall XBMC and look for some other instructions?
Edit: after playing a movie for an hour with lots of weird video skipping, the Ouya is really hot! I think it wasn't on hardware acc.

I've had some skipping but only while streaming and the menu being open at the same time. Looking at the link you provided, the only thing I can think of is maybe the addon they had you install is causing it, but I have no way of confirming without doing it myself.
When I installed it, I just sideloaded it (part 1 steps 1-25) and didn't do anything special with plugins, not sure if that matters though.

I actually didn't do the plugin part at first. Once I installed it, I played a movie right away. Saw the skipping, so I thought maybe the plugin would fix it, so that's when I did part 2 (plugin installation). But that didn't fix it.
I can't figure out how to uninstall XBMC.

Just curious, could it be hardware related? Under advance settings/system/about console, my "build number" is JZ054L-Ouya.
You need to look up the xbmc libstage alpha 4, it has hardware acceleration enabled, without it the ouya can't use it's hardware to render 720p/1080p video, it lags otherwise.

It's weird that XBMChub would have the post the wrong isntallation link if we're suppose to use some other XBMC. Is the "stagefright" version of XBMC not the latest working one anymore then?

Hope they implement better Ouya controller support too
Ok, I installed the stagefright alpha 4 version. I used this link:

Still get lots of stuttering on 1080P H.264 encoded movies. I also can't pulled the progress bar to go to spots in the movie. 720P movies seem to work.

Which version worked for you? Are you doing anything not in the instructions?
I'm still getting stutters with 1080P. I'm doing this over wireless, but the router is in the same room as me. I'm getting 1.5MB/s according to the real time bandwidth monitor on my Tomato router. I'll try again with a long Ethernet cable, but the stuttering doesn't seem like it's a bandwidth issue. Seems like video decoding.
It's H264 at 1080P in MKV. I'm not transcoding or anything.
Would like more help with XBMC, but I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. I think I'm following directions right. Just to recap, the two methods I used:
http://www.xbmchub.com/blog/2013/06/02/how-to-install-xbmc-to-the-ouya-gaming-console/
http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=152005
Neither worked great for me. And the second one I try, even when 720P video plays smoothly, I can't set the progress bar to specific spots in the movie.
So after coming across conflicting information about XBMC on Ouya, I finally decided to just download the latest build (Frodo) straight from xbmc.org/download.
I've had no issues at all. I thought I would have to hook up through ethernet cable, since xbmc is choppy on Wifi on my GS4, as well as my 7 inch tab (which also has a tegra 3). But on wifi the Ouya runs XBMC perfectly.

Has anybody tried internet streaming? I've been trying with the 1channel add-on with poor results. It will start the streams just fine but the picture will be very unsmooth (doesn't actually freeze or pause, just kind of skips frames and has weird lines/artifacts every few seconds and whatnot). I'm running gotham SF alpha4 and my Ouya is connected via Ethernet with more than adequate downstream bandwidth. It seems like everyone else is getting good performance with that build but I haven't actually seen anybody confirm it works well while internet streaming.
I used the xbmc hub instructions.
All works fine, I can stream from my raspbmc to the ouya seamlessly.
It's faster and snappier than my 1st gen rpi (256mb) running xbmc

Yes. Please see below:
This special version of FOX Sports allows streaming of the World Cup in 4K, exclusive to the 2018 Hisense USA H9E Plus range based around the MediaTek MT5597 running Android TV 8.0 Oreo, as discussed at https://www.androidpolice.com/2018/06/12/hisense-h9-plus-4k-tvs-android-tv-now-available
As described at https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidTV/comments/8qltha , this unedited APK was pulled by /u/whatpens from their brand new retail TV.
However, /u/Ogreentech21 's LeEco Android TV returns the error, "You are not allowed to view this resource" and it also doesn't work on /u/suyo123 's NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV, nor (perhaps understandably) on /u/alanzeino 's Amazon Fire TV 4K.
Can any XDA-Developers users remove the device check? I have also submitted the APK to APKMirror to see if anyone there possesses this ability.
Thank you all for your help.

Sorry. Never mind.
I got it working and put together a guide: https://www.reddit.com/r/AndroidTV/...o_get_fox_sports_world_cup_4k_apk_working_on/
Do you guys know if the app only works on the Hisense H8E model? And not the H8 model?
Most of the articles I read about the World Cup edition app mention that it works on the H6E and H8E model, but no mention of the H8 model. But just looking at what you changed on the APK to make it work, it seems like the H8 should be able to install the WC app and stream in 4k, correct?
Granted both models are the same price, but the H8 model is available today at a store near me, the H8E will have to be ordered.. and the World Cup won't wait a week for the TV to get here!!
Thanks in advance.
Anyway to get this working on Sony 900e?
It would a charm if it was possible to modify the apk so that the check is bypassed completely. While rooting nvidia shield might be an option, for most android TVs it isn't so easy.
Anyone have a solution yet? Trying to watch on my Sony TV in 4k....regular Fox Sports go app is terrible

I’m using the regular app but what’s the point of having a super car without the speed?! Want to see what 4K can do.
pulled this from reddit, Confirmed works on stock Sony Android tv (no rooting)
Not working on x750d sony. Playback media failed.

Works on my X750D. I used ES File Explorer to upload the app to my TV and installed it through the ES File Explorer app on the TV.
Watching Mexico vs Korea right now.
I can install the app just can't play the content.

No. Somewhat choppy for me. And audio is half a second slow. But I’m addicted to the sharpness and clarity so I’m watching it anyway.
I read it’s becuase it’s shot in European 50hz and in the us we have 60hz. Tried adjusting motion settings but nothing works.
To stop stuttering, in the app goto video and select a specific speed and resolution. Setting to Auto will cause stuttering. I have mine set to 4k (~19mbps) and it does not stutter.
