To setup a Amazon Fire TV, you will need to setup an Amazon account, but only a username, password and billing address are needed. If you run into issues, go through the original article where several issues and hints can be found. Just follow the instructions that came with the Amazon Fire TV.

Next we will have to setup our Amazon Fire TV. The screens for Windows and Linux will look very similar. Note : The screenshots shown in this article will be based on v2.01 for Mac OS X. On that page, scroll down to roughly the middle of the page where you will find something like this (note: version numbers can be different):ĭownload adbFire 2.01 for OS X 10.7 or greaterĬlick the version applicable for your Operating System.

Jocala has kindly requested me to no longer host a copy of ADBFire, so you’ll have to go to his website by following this link. So if you got “EXE” or “ZIP” then you picked the wrong file! Step 2 – Download ADBFire This will result in downloading a file with the extension “ APK“. We will need to download the ANDROID version (the green puppet) and click the “ ARM” link (as indicated above).

It could look something like this (this is a screenshot of an older KODI version):Īmazon Fire TV – Download the right Kodi version Go to the download page on the KODI website by following this link. It appears that the download page of Kodi is a little confusing for some readers (absolutely no disrespect intended!), so I’ll walk through this step by step. Note: it might also be that FireStarter is not blacklisted, and that Amazon just blocked “ listening” to pressing the “Home” button. KODI will most likely start appearing in your “Recent” items, so you can start it from the front page. You can choose to block updates, if your FireStarter still works.Īlternatively, you can still side-load KODI, and start it through “System” “Applications” “Manage Installed Application” “KODI” “Launch”. I suspect this might have to do with the latest FireOS (the “operating system” for your Fire TV). Unfortunately, Amazon seems to have blacklisted FireStarter, which effectively means that FireStarter might not work on your Amazon Fire TV anymore.
