I have a firetv and bought a recommend 32gb flash drive. I plugged the flash drive into the firetv and it shows that the drive is mounted. I try and move kodi to the flash drive but it doesn't work and tells me to reconnect the drive. So I use your app and I saw that I could transfer kodi to the usb drive but when I try it gives me an error in the command window.

/system/bin/sh: su: not found

Does this have to do with the first issue with the drive. It does the same thing for any flash drive I put in. Does the firetv have to be rooted to transfer kodi to the usb? Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] busbeepbeep:
that seems overly complicated for no reason.

if it's publically available like kodi.apk or firestarter.apk, let him download the file from the link

if it's your own apk or something private, email it or dropbox it, let him download it, then select and install it.

0.53 Running smooth except for Virtual Keyboard.. anyone having that issue?

Great work on 0.53 ! working like a charm.

The only thing I noticed is the Keyboard when using with Amazon TV Stick, only the lower case alphabet works, nor caps or symbols are working such as: ==> //, : , A-Z

I am using Winhdows 10 just upgraded from 8.1 but I don't think that matters since all my programs and apps works the same with 10. Perhaps I am doing something wrong or there is a key combination but I tried everything and nothing.

Any suggestion?

Just went to download the latest version but getting a notice from google sites stating the page has been blocked.

Any backup url of the site?
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] imtiajmeah:
On the First page you will see the backup site....

Will be updated until the Main site has been reviews by Google and confirms my app is all good.

Do I need the fire TV stick

Excuse my ignorance but do I actually need the fire TV stick in order to get free tv shows and movies on my laptop or can I simply install Kodi and use that, or would I miss out on other content

thanks

You can definitely install Cody on your laptop it's very simple you do not need to fire stick or the fire TV to use Kodi

About to get Fire TV Box

Hi

Newbie here so please be gentle! lol

I am about to purchase a box and was wondering how I start from scratch and if I need to have Kodi already loaded onto my box before starting your guide?

Also, what difference does this have to just sideloading add ons? or is it the same? or have more capabilities?

Any help appreciated. Is there an upto date newbie guide somewhere from scratch?

Need help pushing a zip file to FireTv Stick

Hi Mates...

I'm trying to push a zip file to my FireTv Stick. I'm new to the AFTV app but have sideloaded Kodi with no problems and also backedup and restored to it.

I've been through all 100 plus pages on this thread and didn't read how to access my zip files pushed to the fire stick. I have selected the OBB_Folder

but can't seem to find them on the stick. Please let me know what I'm doing wrong and how to push files.

Thanks
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] rjamendola:
Great app! Congratulations!

Do you consider publishing this project as open source?
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] klaxeus:
The files must be unzipped to C:\FTV

Seems like that path is hardcoded in the program.

recheck the path you entered.. It must have a space in it somewhere.

Copy and paste the path here and so I can try and replicate the error.

Hi Guys,

Looks like the new Amazon FireTV 2 has been announced and will be coming out very soon..... ;)

http://www.aftvnews.com/amazon-announces-new-fire-tv-with-4k-ultra-hd-and-alexa-voice-control/

I was wandering if anyone wanted to help and donate towards the New AFTV2 and Game Controller so I can continue the development and support of the Amazon FireTV Utility App...

Dontation Link http://xdaforums.com/donatetome.php?u=231125

Hopefully any resellers using the app would be willing to make a small but very much appropriated contribution.

Ps… Sorry in advance if I have broken any rules or upset anyone…
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] jus71n:
Ahh found it, but may have to look I to it a little more. Thought it was just a case of installing kodi and that was it but there's rooting, blocking updates and I've signed into this with my Amazon account so will it know I'm watching channels I shouldn't have?

OSX

hi, any version for OSX? thank you!
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] roligov:
Thanks for continuing your development on this app. I've moved away from ADBFire as it's just become way to buggy with the new interface and menu.

Have just a few questions:

1. Any reason you don't support spaces in the files apk names or paths? Can't you just wrap the full path including apk name in double quotes before passing it onto adb.exe?

2. Whats the difference between clicking the path box and the select button?

3. It would be nice if there was feedback when when buttons like "Enable OTA" etc are clicked.

4. When taking a screenshot the tooltip on the button says it appends the date_time to the image but I took a few and it saved it as ScreenShot.png and they kept overwriting each other.

5. Is there a debug log file generated somewhere to show a list of commands executed and the results?

Thanks again!

Hi

While using v0.53 I have noticed a bug on Windows 7 and also after updating to windows 10:

When in vonfiguration I select "Multiple APK sideload (will deactivate progress bar)" (or something to that effect), there's no button or way to select multiple APK's... I know un 0.50 or 0.51 there was a multiple apk button, but it doesn't seem to work/ appear in 0.53
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] imtiajmeah:
Hi Thanks for your feedback.. Let e try and answer your questions.

1. adb.exe limitation doesn't like spaces.... but will look at wrapping the path... if it works I will add it on the next update ;)

2. No difference at all just wanted to make it easy as clicking the path box but left the select button in case anyone got confused using the previous version.

3. Feedback as is in acknowledge it was clicked? I will look into adding that in the next update as well ;)

4. The app should take a screenshot and then move to your app directory with a time stamp so it shouldn't over right it... Only on the temp ScreenShot.png on your device should be overwritten.

5. No I don't have a log file only the basic option to see the cmd window in case of any errors.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] imtiajmeah:
Thanks for your feedback.

Currently no way to select multi files at once.... (but will look to add going forward, and with progress bar)

What it allows you to do is install 1 apk and then go back and install another apk and so on...... without having to wait for the first apk to finish installing (drawback is without progress bar)

Progress bar only works if you are installing single files at a time.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] roligov:

[Fire TV Themes and Apps] imtiajmeah:
Thanks for letting me know ;)

It's a false positive... Im thinking to remove the root apk (tr.apk) and have it direct to a link going forward to avoid all these blocks and issues..

Update : removed tr.apk from zip. Download should be fine now. Any issues let me know ;)
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] baudi11:
Working now. Thanks.

A suggestion: in the Help menu, there's an item for "Download Page", but that takes you to the disabled google site. You might want to change that to your backup site. The "Changelog" item does the same.

Hi,

Looks like a good tool! I have it running on my pc and am connected to my Firestick via IP. I also have the developer options turned on for my Firestick. Not sure what to do next to set my Firestick up with Kodi. I do see the button "1-Click Download and Install Kodi", but not sure if I need to do something first before that?

Please also add a popup when sideloading of an APK is complete. If I update Kodi it takes about 6 minutes and I don't sit and watch the progress, I carry on with other things. When I come back to AFTV Utility I never know if the APK install was successful etc...I have 3 FireTV's to update as well.

Something like this:

APK Sideload Successful

"APK File Name" sideloaded to "Description" AFTV

Either this or just % completion on progress bar is nice . 0% to 100% to let users know it is successful. TIA
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] roligov:
That would work, but without a popup dialogue box, you will constantly have to go to app window and check the progress bar for yourself. If you have a popup you can continue doing what you doing, until you see it. Dialogue boxes are standard for almost any windows based app as a form of notifications to the user.

Hi everyone.... I've been following this thread for a long long time and have seen all of the people asking for different options and additions to which I also have seen the author answer and make virtually every modification that everyone has asked for. It has been an amazing journey! I also am aware of the incredible amount of time that has gone into all of this. I was chatting with the author today after making a small donation to his cause. I've actually made several since I've made quite a bit of money using the program for units that I've sold....but even if I hadn't been selling I would have still donated since this great program has saved me hours and hours of programming time. I discovered after chatting for a while that he hasn't received very much at all for all of this work and yet I know there must he hundreds of people if not more who use this great program. I would urge anyone who has used it and has benefited from it to make at least a small donation to him for all of his hard work and dedication. This program was written for you...not him! Please consider that and what good it has done for so many people. He has mouths to feed just as we do and I for one am thankful for all of his efforts in helping all of us! Give a little!!

Regards to all here!

Follow up to Restore Question

Hello forum can someone help me with an answer to this question, I have asked a few times and haven't got an answer so let me re-word it I currently use the .40 version of this app because it only has a single restore and a single backup data button that add or pull from the C drive and the ftv folder. On the new versions you have to select either USB or or SD card from the drop down and if I don't select anything the question pops up saying " Please confirm you wish to Restore your data to" and I don't no which one to select and I tried selecting both and it didn't work. I don't have this problem in the .40 version so that is why I continue to use it until I find out how to backup and restore my data from the c: drive ftp folder in the newer versions. I must be missing a step somewhere another question I had was in the newer versions of the software can you open more session of the app and program more that one unit at one time. Thanks for any assistance and information anyone has to offer I am grateful
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] mjbxx:
Just installed FireTV Utility App v.57 and it works as expected after selecting SD Card as the source. It backed up Kodi just fine to the C:\FTV folder.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] modembricker:
Has anyone else noticed iKono TV is not in the app store, or is it just me? Ive tried different sticks, accounts, etc.. and it no longer shows up to download. How else can I make a shortcut to kodi on the home screen? I even tried manually installing the ikonotv.apk and it still doesnt show in the "recent" menu. Help please.. people are going crazy.. they want an shortcut.. I tried talking them into firestarter, but some are stubborn.

Thanks

**Update** I just talked with the developer of this app (after making a small donation) and he says the latest update removed ikono tv from the app store. He is currently searching for a workaround.

I also suggest donating to him for his hard work, some of us are making money from these sticks using this app.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] fxbill:
Why not use Llama and just pick a different app to use? It doesn't have to be Ikono. As long as you explain which app is the shortcut to Kodi it shouldn't be a big deal.

Anyone have any idea why I am getting this and how to get around it. I have been jacking around for a week trying to figure it out and giving up figuring it out on my own. That window pops up as soon as I try to launch FTVU Windows 10
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] fxbill:
I had that issue at one point.....check your FTV folder and make sure that "advanced settings.xml, advanced settings1, advance settings2, advanced settings3, advanced settings4, Keyboard1, keyboard2, keyboard3, keyboard4, xbmc_env.properties_extUSB" are all located in the FTV xml_setting folder. I had a couple of them outside of the folder and got that message. As soon as I cut and pasted them into the folder the message went away and the program ran perfectly. This might not be the case with you, but it was with me. Also...under the exe properties make sure that you're running the program as an administrator. Mine is also set up to run in compatibility as in Windows Vista.

Hope this might help!
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] PuntoG:
Before I upgraded to Win10 from Win7 I used to get that error on a regular. I think it had something to do with the firewall maybe... But I never did any troubleshooting because once I pressed "Continue" the program would launch and behave as it should.

---------- Post added at 04:02 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:55 PM ----------

Modembricker, could you please elaborate on "the latest update removed ikono tv from the app store." Which update are you referring to? Are you referring to FireOS 5, (in which case Llama is useless anyways), or are you referring to some other update?

I'm not asking to be confrontational. I'm asking because I'm confused and would like a heads-up as to whether a bunch of customers are going to be calling me tomorrow. I just looked in my App store and Ikono is there. I also looked at both 1st Gen rooted AFTV's and they both still have the KODI link functional.
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] lilmonk3:
I got it to work by running by unzipping to my desktop instead of C drive. I will check what you suggested after the holiday
[Fire TV Themes and Apps] fxbill:
Also.... Depending on what you're running for anti virus make sure you make an exception for the program. Avats was stopping me from even letting the program open until I put in the exception! Good luck to you!

Happy Thanksgiving to all here.
