The adbFire app is infinitely easier to use than the ESFileExplorer method in my opinion. And it also gives you countless other capabilities to do stuff you'll need to do with your FireTV.
Once that's done, launch KODI. Then follow this guide to setup Fusion within KODI(Fusion is a website source that allows you to install addons directly within KODI): https://www.tvaddons.ag/fusion-installer-kodi/
Once those are installed, you can navigate within KODI to System\Settings\Skin\Settings and tweak how KODI looks. Once you get a bit familiar with the interface, you can also install new Skins, and customize the living shit out of things. Including have links to other Amazon FireTV apps like Netflix, Amazon Video, Pandora, launch directly within KODI.

It hasn't been working for several weeks, and the repo has also been dead so you can't install it. [Reply]

Wow, that was simple. I give you eleven billion super rep points. These are not average rep points, they are super. So don't just give them away.
I'm sure I'll have questions....what to add, etc. I added the 4 you suggested (Exodus, 1Channel, Pro Sport, Phoenix) - once I get a bit familiar with what I'm doing, I'm sure there is tons more I can ask.

Thanks a ton for all the help!
Well I'm mighty stingy with rep anyway, so I'll manage the rep hammer responsibly. :-)
If/when you have questions, hit me up. It's capable of quite a bit, just let me know how far down the rabbit hole you wanna go. It's capable of being rooted at the moment, if that tickles your fancy. You can do some extra customization stuff with root. It's complicated. But if there's not really anything specific in mind you needed it for, it won't really be necessary. You can sideload just about any app.
There was a recent update released for FireTV, the v5.0.5.1 firmware update. If you've already went through the setup process, you've probably already updated to that as they try and force it as part of the setup process. It changed things quite a bit. Mostly for the better. [Reply]
A very strange thing happened to my firestick overnight. I plugged it in and the tv didn't recognize that it even existed in the hdmi port(s) I could understand that if only KODI was gone as I've accidentally deleted it before. But today, even the Amazon TV content was gone. Everything.
I changed TV's thinking maybe my bedroom tv hdmi ports we messed up. So I tried another tv. And another. And no fire tv. No KODI. NOTHING. Anyway if you have some suggestions, I'm all ears. [Reply]
So, what's the deal with Pro Sport? Just installed it the other day, but there never seem to be any streams for anything. Trying baseball games, just to see the quality, but not finding any streams for the games listed. [Reply]

It shines for NFL and NHL. Especially NFL. Come NFL season, you'll find every single game along with an archive of all previous week's NFL games that you can watch through the season. It's like free NFL Rewind. It admittedly doesn't do as well for baseball though. I use Castaway for baseball and ProSport for NFL and NHL. [Reply]

Thanks! I'm actually interested in it for NFL and NHL, but wanted to see the quality, so was trying baseball. Good to know that it might be more useful for sports I want to stream.
How is the stream quality typically? Hockey, especially, seems to suffer when the quality isn't great.
I may be moving later this year, and may not have access to directv when I do, and want to ensure I can still watch the Chiefs and the Wild in good quality. [Reply]

Yeah, seriously. The price difference is bullshit for the difference in hardware you get. Just spend the tiny extra and not worry about it. [Reply]
