Third, download ADBFire. This is an app you'll run on your computer(Win, OSX, Linux). Your computer will then connect to your FireTV over the network via ADB that you enabled above(they must be on the same network). The ADBFire app will allow you to do anything/everything you want to do with your FireTV. Including installing .apk files like KODI.
Once ADBFire is installed, run it.
Under Control Devices, click New.
Add description as FireTV.
Input FireTV IP address in the Address field.
Leave other settings alone.
Click Save.
Connect.
Once connected, you can click the Install APK button, and install the KODI apk you downloaded in step 1.
Once KODI is installed, you can then continue with the other instructions to install Fusion, then Addon Installer, and have a nice GUI list of all addons you need.
Bonus: Once KODI is installed, you can also install what's called FireStarter. This will give you the ability to launch KODI from the retail Amazon menu by double clicking the Home button on the remote, as opposed to digging through the Amazon apps menu(side loaded apps don't appear in the Recent list in the retail Amazon menu by default). A single click will return you to the Amazon Home menu from KODI. It's basically a Home menu replacement that's customizable.

Let me know if you have any questions about any of that.
Actually, you can just download firestarter and install Kodi from there. A lot easier, IMO, since you only need to use your FireTV and not the computer at all. [Reply]

True. But I recommend ADBFire because of all the other uses for it. Pushing/pulling files/folders/settings/keyboard mappings/, mounting external drives, turning on SFTP, etc. It's essential for all the other stuff beyond just installing KODI. [Reply]

I just read through the install. Looks pretty simple. This will be fun. [Reply]

anybody found any apps that show these?
Specific movies aren't tied to specific addons. It's only dependent on when quality versions happens to leak. Once a good version leaks, it should show up in all addons within a reasonable amount of time. Most all of the addons share sources to some degree.
There's normally 3 stages of release with movies. First is the CAM version. Which is a camera recording of a theater release. It has crappy video and audio. Second is the TS version. Which is normally the same crappy camera recording video source that's synced up with a DVD quality audio source. Last comes the actual DVD release. Some addons won't display cam versions because most people don't want to deal with the shitty quality. But addons like 1Channel display cam versions. [Reply]

Exodus shows cam versions on some things. sometimes they are super bad....but sometimes they aren't total crap. I avoid them though....especially if it's a movie I give a shit about.
I tried SALTS as well but no dice.
hoping I get to see 10 cloverfield before I find out what the big surprise is.
I was fortunate enough to be able to see the 6th sense without knowing what the surprise was.... [Reply]
Okay, I'm six months cable free. And this firestick is working perfectly for baseball. I'm not sure I need a firetv box, although I'm going to purchase one soon and do the add on myself.
Currently, I'm sitting in my sun room, watching the Yanks/Stro's and the stream/picture is crystal clear.
So I am playing around with Estuary the new default skin for Kodi v17. Much much better than confluence. However, still not as good as any of the Aeon 3rd party skins. Some things are buried into the menus, but I am sure they will streamline it quite a bit. [Reply]
