As there are many ways to play video with Kodi, could you start by explaining step by step what exactly it is you're trying to do with Kodi, what you expect to happen, and what actually happens. Then we can troubleshoot.

thanks for youre time.
i installed kodi on my nexus player and installed Istream then . i followed the following steps.

OK, so we're making some progress in narrowing down your problem - now we know it's the iStream addon that's the issue for you. We don't yet know how far you got with the addon installation. What did you see in the final step?
The good news is that this has nothing to do with rooting your box, so you can forget that for now. The bad news is that, as well as being tricky to install, your ISP may be blocking the streams. So you should check that before doing anything else.

i try rooting this device by following steps and now its stuck at boot loader. google dots just keep playing but nothing happes after.

[Q] Kindle Fire-Market (com.android.vending) has stopped...

Like many of you, I'm trying to install the Android Market. Every time I launch the Market, I get the following error:
Sorry
The application Market (com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly. Please retry.
I've searched this forum and not really found anything that seems to match my problem. I found some things that are close (people for whom it work intermittently), but not exactly the same.
Does anyone have a solution or at least something that I can try?

To be sure that you are installing the android market correctly and have all of the correct files you should follow my guide it is linked to easy to follow video tutorials to be sure that you are doing everything the same exact way with no problems.

That happened to my friend's KF when I incorrectly rooted & installed Market. What I did was unroot it to clean up the files then redo the rooting process & Market installation. It works now, no more error messages. Make sure to follow all the steps in sequence. Good luck!

I think I've followed the video more than once (although I could not find the link for Rootchecker that was mentioned).
I have Burritoroot, Superuser and Root Explorer installed.
Can you send me the link to instructions fro installing root checker? Once I've got that installed, I'll pick up from where Rootchecker is in the video.
IN the video you mention that the link is in the "Video Description" ,but I guess I don't know what that means.
Thanks, Mike
I'm not sure if this is an issue or not, but even though device manager reports that it sees and "Android Phone\Android Composite ADB Interface", When I open "Computer, it only shows "Removable Disk (G". When I try to click on it, it asks me to "Insert a disk..."
Any ideas as to why I'm seeing this and do you think this is part of my problem?
I still haven't resolved my issue with the kindle not showing up on my PC, but after going back, re-watching the root and android market videos, I was able to get market installed and working.
Thanks so much [-_-] for all your hard work.
Transfer market to /system/app then change permission to match the other apps in that folder. Then install and reboot.

Sideload Ouya Store on any android Device

i originally posted the steps on the thread below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-tv/general/ouya-store-amazon-fire-tv-t2806575
I was able to install the Ouya store on the Amazon Fire TV but you can grab those apks and install it on any android device, press the home key and select the ouya launcher (there is an ouya app that gets install that wont work because it checks your device) log in with your Outa account.

Amazing work. I used it to install it to my Note 3. It worked fine and I can install games and everything. Only one problem; the controller is completely messed up. Is there anyway to properly configure the controller, so that the "O" is actually "O", etc...?
Thanks in advance...

You need to be rooted. Copy the OUYA controller kl file to your system/usr/keylayout/ folder on your note then reboot. That should map your OUYA controller the same on your device as it is on the OUYA.
Here's a link to download the kl file.
https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9mcZwWJuSpBRjNqRDVvWlhNOWs/edit?usp=sharing
I went to the keylayout folder on the OUYA and founds many kl files, which one should I transfer to my phone?
I added a download link to my post above. I believe it is vendor_2836_product_0001.kl.

I added the file but do I need to delete the rest of the files? I tried to play The Amazing Frog (the kids love it), but the frog keeps rounding around itself and the L and R buttons do not work as supposed. I will still try to other games and report back...
Make sure you put the file in the correct location then reboot. The kl file won't be loaded until you have restarted your device. I've only tried 10-15 games on my tablet so far but haven't ran into any problems yet. Don't delete any of the other files, they are for different controllers.

I found out what I was doing wrong; the permissions of the kl file. They were totally off and when I when I changed them to rw-r--r-- , it went fine and everything worked great.
The problem is still in the menu button. It goes directly to the home screen, but that's pretty much acceptable at this point.
Again, I wanna say thank you so much for your support...
Sorry, I forgot to mention that. Somehow I've never had that problem. I haven't had the permissions change on me when copying. It's always been my own file though used through the cloud so maybe that has something to do with it. Glad you got it working.
On a side note. My nexus 5 running android l didn't like the ouya launcher. Probably because of art. The first time I ended up in a boot loop but it could have also been a combination of me messing with other stuff too.

Couldn't have done it without you. If you find a solution for the "U" main center button, let me know. It acts as "home" button and always takes me to the home screen.

What are you wanting that button to be set as? You can change it to be whatever kind of button input you want in the kl file. Just open it in a text editor.
It should represent the menu button, not the home button. I'll try playing with the kl file and let you know.
By the way, I use the baxy launcher instead of the normal ouya launcher. This way, I keep my home launcher as it is and then use this app as a launcher for the store. I guess I read in your thread for the fire TV that you need to disable the home launcher to be able to launch the ouya one. Try that out...

Could be the stock nook rom. Even rooted it doesn't work with a lot of hacks. There's some good ROMs for it if you have a custom recovery.

I had a Nook HD before and I had a CM ROM on it and it worked like a charm. Don't fear it, just do a backup before trying anything. It turned it into a real tablet. I returned to the stock only to sell it.
Anyway, here are the apks without zipping. Who knows?

If the process is the same on aftv then use adbfire to push the SprtsDvl zip to your storage.
Then on xbmc? Assuming your running that on the aftv..since you didnt make any mention of just stated you wanted to install on aftv.
Anyway.
Xbmc go to settings/addons/install from zip/sd or storage/bottom of list will be your zip/install/enjoy.
i try that and put error script, no dependeance error too, if you have one plugins work with that method please share.
Ill assume its because its not playing well with sportsdevil

If you happen to have Sports Devil running on another device with XBMC on it (ipad, ect) you can download XBMC Backup on that device and perform a backup of your XBMC. I saved the file to my NAS. Then download XBMC Backup on your Fire TV and do a restore. I have done this on multiple boxes and sticks and it works great.
How i can backup on me pc to pass to xbmc amazon fire tv, if its possible, can put the stetps to do please.

I am using adbFire and found this same sequence on line. I cannot get it to work. I go into the program, push the zip to add ons or sd card (tried both) and it just does not appear on the kodi on the fire tv. I have looked in every folder and can't find it. I started with root/sd card since that's what I saw elsewhere. Any ideas?
You can just download it on your Fire TV then unzip it and move the folder to your addons folder. People are still updating the sportsdevil addon and there are a few places that you can find the updates. The latest version is 1/15/2015. Just google it to find the download.

I couldn't find a recent link either. I found a page with many sportsdevil video plugin zips but when I push it to aftv it doesn't show up for some odd reason. I tried pushing to different locations.

Thanks a lot for this nice tool (which came in too late for myself, alas). A couple of comments:
- Could you preserve timestamps of incorporated files? It would make comparisons to existing tools easier.
- I understand that ROM size is not an issue, would it be possible to make the debloat deactivations reversible? (e.g. pm disable/hide instead of rm - if something goes wrong there would be a chance to get back functionality)
- Five minutes seem a tad on the low side - I have seen more than that in a single reboot (when cache rebuilds took place).
Nevertheless: Very nice, I hope the tool will be useful to many people unpacking Fires from their stockings!

So I can run this on the stock 5.1.1 firmware by just downloading it to the sd card and install. On home screen open and it will root and install all that is listed?

-I'll time it tonight and update. The script cuts off the cache rebuilds until the very end.
Thank you, the install went perfectly, this makes the Fire 5.1.1 livable until the bootloader is unlocked. I have encounter one thing, widgets cannot be added to the homescreen. Is this an expected issue or is there something going on with my tablet I need to explore?

I think I know what the problem is. It'll be fixed with the next update, which probably will be less than two hours from now. I appoligise for the inconvenience.
It's just sitting on daemon started successfully for quite a while, is this normal?
not sure what is going on, ran the script and everything went fine. however, the device is still trying to update. it seems like updates weren't blocked or something. i never let it install the initial update though that it tries to do when you turn on the device. i never even connected it to a wifi network so not sure how it can even update
google play services refuses to install as well. not sure what is wrong but seems like there must be some bugs in this script.

That's very odd. Can you attach screenshots and such so I can look into this? Also, try the updated script I have just updated the link too.
If you continue to have problems, adb sideload to start fresh.
I believe you may be getting confused with the "Updating your apps" screen, which is normal. This is android recompiling the cache for the newly installed apps.

The Fire logo with "Updating Apps..." is normal. :3 It should be gone after two reboots.
As for the google play problem, It sounds like you need to clear the data and relogin to google. Was there anything relating to google play on your device previously before the script? You may have to be connected to wifi for google play to download updates, if you still aren't.

i haven't loaded 1 thing. i never even connected to wifi before running your script.
ok i went in and cleared everything in the google framework and play store, now when i try to open play store it just spins. will not load. any suggestions? no idea what the problem could be.
EDIT - ok finally got it. for some reason it just started working. i think there must have been a notfication that was showing which i didn't accept
Glad to hear! Usually the infinite spinning wheel means you need to accept the terms of use. :3
Everything worked fine, just one note that seems to be a side affect. I had a childs profile setup before running the script, now I cannot change settings or delete the profile.

Yeah no problem! This image is meant for really messing up your Fire TV Stick 4K in case of major bricks and many other things!

Yep it all works just fine once flashed, system components can be installed too without TWRP telling it not to, may need to reboot several times till it installs, when you start getting a new update that's not relating to 6.2.7.1 let me know and I'll update this forum. This stock image doesn't get rid of TWRP completely unfortunately.

Yes. You need to download the zip file for Magisk to flash in recovery. Magisk doesn't need to be installed, it's stock so it's not rooted by default.

The closest you can get to is a Magisk addon for gapps. It's quite unstable at the moment as there is testing going on. Xposed is with the module, you may need to enable a separate module on Xposed Installer to enable addons. Link can be found here, it'll tell you how to use it. You need to be on 6.2.6.8 since it's the latest release for now and not 6.2.7.1 yet:

The closest you can get to is a Magisk addon for gapps. It's quite unstable at the moment as there is testing going on.

There is no risk of bricking after flashing although it's recommended just to be safe, download and flash Magisk Manager For Recovery. It's in the Magisk addon store.
Does this update resolve the lipsync problem? Even before I applied the unlock and root, VLC player lip sync was noticeably out. After intalling Magisk and Kody, the Kody video player lip sync is also off but not as much as VLC (tested playing video from memory stick). Anyone else see this and resolve? I followed some youtube guide about clearing cache and rebooting and that helped a little but still out of sync.
I finally gave up trying to figure out how to use adb via TWRP and installed the addons package AFTV-MM which claims to do all these settings automatically. That's the point where I installed Kodi and tested the playback of some videos on my memory stick plugged into the USB over OTG. My ultimate goal is to play videos (in voice sync) from my home video media server, accessed over the network.

Yes! The update fixes the problem with lip syncing, and if it still has that problem try going to settings, display and sounds, audio, surround sound, and set that to stereo then reboot.

So with OTG & Mouse and a USB stick with the needed files on it I should boot to TWRP, slide to inturrupt, Install this image you provide via TWRP install, install Magisk 20.3 via TWRP install and finally install AFTV-MM zip via TWRP install and I am done, right? If this is right, I assume I reboot after every zip install or can I do them one after another? How about logging out of my account before, do I do that? What is the exact procedure for dummies. Please over-complicate if possible, I enjoy not making major mistakes due to inexperience. Thanks for your help!

AFTV-MM isn't supported on 6.2.7.1 at all through testings I've made. If you do want to keep AFTV-MM, it's better to stay on 6.2.6.8 as there's no new significant changes with the update to this new image. You can do one after another. Firstly, it's important to flash the image then Magisk and reboot. There is no need to log out of your account due to this update being stock and is acting like it's a new update as if you never unlocked it.
Hi,
Tried to install the update using the 'twrp install' command but I'm receiving this error. Any advice?

Pino.

Mine is saying "up to date" on 6.2.6.8 so it's possible Amazon pulled the 6.2.7.1 update. I will not be releasing a rom for this until I know they're pushing it again.

Where is the file, do you have a hub on the OTG connection with USB stick plugged in. There should be an option on the Install panel to mount USB storage if I remember correctly.

I uploaded the file to /sdcard/Download/update/ folder.
No OTG connection. Just plain usb to microusb connectors.
BTW as rbox stated up here if really the 6.2.7.1 has been pulled by Amazon maybe it's wise to wait.
Regards,
Pino.
