There was no issue with connecting the 360 controllers to the fire TV. You just plug the USB receiver into the Fire TV and connect the controllers as you would on a PC. The only weird thing is that the lights never stop blinking. It's slightly annoying but doesn't impact gameplay at all.

I have not used pseudotv, but I have heard about it. I haven't found any personal need for it.

As far as live TV and an hdhomerun are concerned, everything depends on your cable provider. I recently changed from a WinTV tuner to an hdhomerun prime with a CableCard only to find out that Time Warner Cable puts DRM on all non-OTA channels and only allows it to work with Windows Media Center. Obviously this means XBMC won't play nice with it. Other cable providers don't DRM as many channels so you will have better success. There is a hdhomerun view app for Fire TV, but I have found it to be buggy on HD channels. The quality goes in and out. It's not quite ready for prime time.

I did not install Kodi on my server. After setting up a tuner on a PC and installing a backend PVR service such as NextPVR (what is used in this video), simply enable live TV on Kodi and enable the Kodi add-on for that PVR. You will have to specify the IP address and port of the PVR backend, but then you will be able to watch live television as long as the channels are not DRMed.

Does this skin even work with kodi? I have only been able to use it with spmc.
[Fire TV General] Neo3D:
So, you install this on the machine with the TV Tuner? http://www.nextpvr.com/

What if I have TWC? Then, I can't use NextPVR? Will Kodi work with WMC as the backend?
[Fire TV General] bradwatson:
Honestly I don't know. I use SPMC so I'm not sure if it has been updated for kodi yet. Sounds like it hasn't been. SPMC works too well for me to move away from it.
[Fire TV General] bradwatson:
Correct. It's pretty simple to setup and there are plenty of tutorials on setting up NextPVR to play nice with kodi/xbmc.
[Fire TV General] Neo3D:
Thanks! But, what if I have TWC? Then, I can't use NextPVR? Will Kodi work with WMC as the backend?
[Fire TV General] bradwatson:
Pretty much correct. I'm using TWC as well and in my video you only see OTA channels. TWC puts DRM on all non-OTA channels so the only ones that will work via kodi are CBS, FOX, NBC, ABC, etc. If you try to use serverWMC as your backend, it will not work. I have tried and all you get are blacked out channels. The only option that I'm aware of for working with TWC and live TV is to run kodi on the same PC as the WMC machine and have it pop in and out of WMC for live TV. There is some add-on for this. Obviously this is an Amazon Fire TV thread so I doubt that is of any value to you. It isn't to me either. I was very disappointed when I realized I could only watch OTA channels via kodi on AFTV. This is why I side-loaded the TWC app on my First TV. It sucks though because you have to control it with an air mouse. I'm hoping they will release a remote friendly version one day. Then the Fire TV will do absolutely everything I want it to.
[Fire TV General] BoulderGeek:
Major props for anything Brain Farm, especially Art of Flight. I love it so much.

I am just getting a refurb Fire TV delivered. Hopefully it will be one of the last V8 Interceptors...I mean, one of the last rootable versions being sold.

I am upgrading from a Windows 7 box with WMC and HD OTA tuner card. Can I use that as a backend for OTA HD and front end the way you are on the Fire TV?
[Fire TV General] bradwatson:
Art of Flight and That's It, That's All are so legit.

You can use ServerWMC (just google it) as your backend as long as your channels are not DRMed. If your channels are DRMed like mine through Time Warner Cable, you are pretty much SOL as far as viewing cable through Fire TV. Only options are apps from your cable company or a hdhomerun prime tuner and the hdhomerun VIEW app for Fire TV, which is not yet ready for primetime IMO. Good luck!
[Fire TV General] droidguy80:
In your setup it shows you have 217 movies did you manually added each movie from the genesis plugin to your library first and then the "Movies" folder was there and then pointed the source to it? We can't just point the source to the Genesis plugin and have it auto populate all the movies correct? In order for the Movies and TV shows button on the bottom to have content we have to manually add each movie/tv show from the Genesis plugin into our library and then the button will show all of the movies/shows? Is there not a way to add the source url from Genesis plugin and have it populated our movie library? I'm having a hard time understanding how to achieve this using this theme. I thought we could point the source to say "/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.genesis/Movies" and then it will automatically add those to the library and update as well when new movies are added. Can you explain this a bit more in details?
[Fire TV General] bradwatson:
I'm not using genesis. I added a folder of my own movies and they automatically show up as shown in the video.
[Fire TV General] porkenhimer:
Why don't you have Pushbullet installed on your XBMC setup? To me Pushbullet is a top three addon that all users of XBMC need.

You wanna use live TV on atv? Install mediaportal TV Server and plex server incl. Mediaportal plugin on your windows machine and on ATV install plex Form store....you have to get the right configuration but for me even HDTV works....

[Fire TV General] bradwatson:
I wasn't aware of a pushbullet plugin before your post. What do you use it for?
[Fire TV General] Y314K:
Still trying to learn more about it.. But it sounds interesting... http://forum.vidon.me/index.php?/topic/995-pushbullet-in-xbmc/
[Fire TV General] bradwatson:
I looked at this forum yesterday but still didn't really get it. I like the ability to push YouTube videos, but I could already do that. I personally don't want SMS or call notifications to show up while I'm watching a movie or TV show. I think that would annoy me. Not bashing the plugin, I'm just not seeing the whole point. What am I missing here? I'm genuinely interested because I like the idea of any valuable plugin.
[Fire TV General] danknasty:
I've seen this as well but it seems like apps like AirPlay and miracast already have these functions more seamlessly.
[Fire TV General] porkenhimer:
You can do a lot with it. You can send all your media from all your devices with Pushbullet. The good part is it is done through your Gmail so you do not have to worry about being connected through the same router. I personally think the best part is being able to send inbrowser videos. It doesn't work for every site, but it works for most. If you're on your favorite video site and you wanna watch it on your TV, just share the url and it will push it to XBMC and it will start playing instantly. It's not like sendit, it doesn't just work for youtube. Plus if you use Firefox for example, there is a pushbullet addon, and you can just click on the pushbullet icon to send whatever urls you want to send from your PC. Make sure that when you install on XBMC that you go to the pushbullet settings and set it up to interrupt, cause if you don't it won't play what you send til you stop playing what is already playing, but you don't have to, cause as I said, if you send something it will start playing when what you are watching has ended. You can send everything to multiple devices at once or pick the device to sent it to. So if you have ten XBMC devices in your house you can send it to all of them. It also saves what you send so that you can watch it later too. Also, lets say you were outta town and wanted to send a video to someone at your house, you just send it and it will play on the device no matter where you are. I like it much better than upnp sharing. I almost forgot, it will send pictures and you can view them on XBMC without having to stop playback of video or music. It shows the photo while the video or music plays in the background.
[Fire TV General] dillfever:
yes push bullet is great but it has a cape on file size that you can send....I think it's 25mb
[Fire TV General] nhumber:
You can push any (YouTube, in browser videos, or local stuff) to xbmc with the Yatse remote too No addons needed. Just click the share button anywhere it's available in Android.
[Fire TV General] porkenhimer:
Yes, but yatse is not entirely free. The streaming features need to be unlocked with a fee. Pushbullet is 100% free, plus you can send stuff from anywhere in the world. You don't have to worry about being on the same router. You can literally send things from outer space if you could get there, straight to your tv
[Fire TV General] collindv:
Lol. Why would I want to stream something to my television if I'm not sitting in front of it to watch :)
[Fire TV General] spyder3:
Push bullet didn't work for me. I'd get the 'loading...' notification on the bottom of the screen, then nothing.
[Fire TV General] porkenhimer:
Well, usually people do not live alone, so if you wanted to send a video to your wife husband or family member you could.

---------- Post added at 03:58 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:48 AM ----------

Give some details please. Did you go to the Pushbullet addon settings and set everything up after installing? What did you try to send? If it was an inbrowser video, be aware that not all sites work. In the settings For Pushbullet on XBMC there will be a tab that says push handling, set everything to show and play instantly. It might be set to show notification only by default, I don't remember. I think I remember that when I first used it that the same thing happened, cause I did not set it up to play instantly.
[Fire TV General] spyder3:
I think everything was set up correctly. I was trying to push any random youtube video from the Chrome extension on my PC, to the AFTV XBMC. They both saw each other. XBMC reacted to the push with the loading prompt...just nothing loaded.
[Fire TV General] porkenhimer:
Did you ever get it to load? Try sending it from another pushbullt app or addon. If it works sending it from another pushbullet source then the chrome addon might be bad. The windows app doesn't work for me so I use the Firefox addon on my PC and it works fine.
[Fire TV General] spyder3:
No dice. I wonder if it has something to do with apps from external sources? I don't know why, but I can't seem to update my side-loaded apps and I can't find the option to allow apps from external sources.

I'm rooted, on the last rootable OTA.
[Fire TV General] porkenhimer:
I'm not rooted and everything sends just fine for me. Check to see what version of Pushbullet you are using on XBMC, cause there are actually two version, but one no longer works. The working version is 0.8.22b. If that is the version you are using then maybe you can try this, if you have another device with XBMC installed, install pushbullet then activate it on that device and send something to it to make sure it works, then manually delete the pushbullet addon from the fire TV by deleting the pushbullet folder from your addons folder and your addons data folder, then copy the same folers back from the other device you installed it on to replace the same folders that you deleted from the fire TV, reboot and see if it works afterwards. You could also try uninstalling, then deleting the pushbullet folder from the addons data folder, reboot, then reinstall. The Pushbullet addon I am using on my fire TV was actually copied from my Apple TV, and I have had zero problems. Last thing, make sure that in the pushbullet setting on XBMC that auto dismiss pushes when arrive is unticked, cause you do not wanna dismiss pushes if you are trying to actuall view them. Did you change the gui in the se3tting, cause you can change the gui to match the gui of the devices, but i changed it to firefox and it would not let me get pushes sometimes so i just keep it on default. When you open pushbullet on XBMC is the list of pushes inside, cause there should be a list of pushes that you can save for later viewing? When I say open I mean the pushbullet addon that gets created in the list of program addons on XBMC.

To allow apps from unkown sources, go to setting on the default fire tv launcher, scroll over to system then down to developer options, and it will be there.
[Fire TV General] Urdazed1:
How close can I get to this setup with a non-rooted FireTV or Stick?

Have a fire stick running Kodi 14.1 and am looking to integrate emulation. This setup is obviously beyond what I can do with the stick but can emulation be added to Kodi on the stick or an unrooted device? Or would I have to sideload them and just use through Fired TV launcher?

Thanks for any help you can provide or resources to point me to.
[Fire TV General] dismissthesky:
Rom Collection Browser doesn't require root, so you should be okay. The trouble with doing this in a non-rooted device is that you're still limited by that ~5.5gb of useable space, so emulating systems like N64 and especially Playstation are going to eat up a lot of space per rom, whereas with root it's pretty trivial to add a USB thumb drive or mount a NAS.

Follow this guide, but if you're going to use any of the .emu/explusalpha emulators you want to make sure to add "--user 0" without the quotes right after "start" in your emulator arguments. For instance

start -n com.explusalpha.Snes9xPlus/com.imagine.BaseActivity -a android.intent.action.VIEW -eu Uri "file://%rom%"

would become

start --user 0 -n com.explusalpha.Snes9xPlus/com.imagine.BaseActivity -a android.intent.action.VIEW -eu Uri "file://%rom%"

If this all seems confusing (and it will be, since RCB is pretty buggy and easily the biggest headache I've sorted out on my FTV) it might be easier to use someone else's working config.xml as a template. After you've gotten it edited to fit your specific setup then you would just install RCB, run it once, back out of it and overwrite the existing config.xml with the one you just created.

Could a compromise be that you leave the marks where they are so everything stays the same, you just bring the numbers to the inside? I've seen a few faces where the number 6 for example on a standard face would be inside the watch where the rest are normal and it works fine. Just a suggestion but looks good other than having analogue style and digital confusing me with some watches lol but nice concept.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android_m7:
Hi there,

Recently a friend of mine gave me her htc one m7 to fix it, since I have the same cellphone. This One has stuck in a bootloop... It does pass the logo screen and goes into the lock screen, but when I try to unlock the phone it shows the htc logo, till I press the power button and everything turns black. Upon pressing the power button again the phone shows the lockscreen, then again trying to unlock the phone results in the htc logo screen. Regardless of anything I do the phone reboots itself after some time... and the nightmare continues till I turn it off.

The phone has become totally useless. She told me she was in the middle of a phone call, then the call was suddenly stopped and her phone was no longer recognizing the sim. After that she had apparently tried rebooting the phone... and the phone stuck in the bootloop. The IMEI was also lost, although IMEI is shown in HBOOT.

I tried to flash the stock ROM, using TWRP sideload. I found this ROM for the phone: http://xdaforums.com/htc-one/development/rom-4-4-3-sense-6-6-09-401-5-100-stock-t2854300 . The version is 6.09.401.5, which is android 4.4.3 and Sense 6. The phone was android 4.4.2 before that, so the main version was 5.11.401.10.

The weird part, is that when I wipe everything with TWRP, and flash the 6.09.401.5, nothing changes... The HBOOT still mentions the main version as 5.11.401.10 and the problem persists. Honestly Im desperately in need for help. :crying:

Let me ask in questions,

1- What the hell has happened?! why phone has suddenly stopped recognizing sim and lost its IMEI, and stuck in bootloop?

2- Why can't I get out of lock screen?!

3- Why when I flash the 4.4.3 ROM, (after I wipe everything), HBOOT mentions the main version as 4.4.2? why nothing changes and there is no "first time loading" settings?

4- Please check the link I mentioned earlier, and tell me if it is a ROM that contains everything for a fresh install.

General info:

baseband: 4T.27.3218.14

version main: 5.11.401.10

platform: HBOOT_8064

modelid: PN0710000

cid: HTC__J15

security: on

recovery: TWRP

HBOOT: 1.57

Please help me in any way you can ASAP... I appreciate all of your advices. Thank you very much.

Unknown imei and baseband is normally a hardware problem. (Fault with antenna pin connector)

because of missing imei and baseband.

You can't change version main by flashing a Rom. You need to update the firmware for that, did you wipe data before installing the rom?

This is just the stock Rom. You can try to update firmware but not sure it will help.

Download this http://xda7.androidrevolution.org/db_mirror/Firmware/HTC/HTC_One/401/6.09.401.10.zip

Put the zip in your fastboot folder and rename it firmware.zip

Reboot the phone to the bootloader and Connect fastbootusb. Now open your Fastboot command line and type

fastboot erase cache
fastboot oem lock
fastboot reboot-bootloader

fastboot oem rebootRUU

<--- case sensitive.

The phone will reboot to a black screen with a Silver HTC LOGO. This is RUU mode. Now we're going to flash the firmware.

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

The first flash will be short. It's just a preupdate preparing the hboot for the new firmware. So we need to do the same command again.

fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

The second flash will take a little longer and this time it will flash the full firmware. The progress bar on the phone screen will not reach 100% this is normal as long as the command window has completed its output the flash is done.

fastboot reboot-bootloader

Reboot the phone and [emoji120] if this doesn't work it's probably a hardware problem.

Yes it's a normal symptom of the issue. For some reason the missing imei and baseband breaks a lot of things with sense. You can flash cm11 and get access to the device it won't fix the the problem but because the Rom is not sense based it seems to work better I'm not sure exactly why. But the imei and baseband will still be missing and you'll have no cell reception.
