Kodi
Amazon FireTV Utility App
So we now have everything we need to install Kodi on the FireTV.
The first thing we need to do is extract the FireTV Utility App to your
C drive root. It is very important to extract it to C:\ as it will not work if you do not.
When done you will see it on your C drive as “
FTV”
In the FTV folder you will see the “Amazon FireTV Utility App.exe”, launch it.
Alright so let’s do this… First we need to connect to the FireTV or FireTV stick by using the IP address you got in the earlier step
.
In the top left hand corner if the application press
File - Settings and enter your IP address, select normal debug mode, and check for updates at start up.
Save and
Close.
It will take you back out to the main application where you will press File -
Connect. It will open a dos type screen and show you connect successfully.
Now let’s install Kodi/XBMC.
1.
Click the “
Select” button and find where you downloaded the
ARM version of Kodi
•
Select the apk file where it shows up in the field next to select
2. Click “
Side Load 3rd Party Application”
• It will open a prompt screen and take a couple of min. You will know it is complete when it shows “C:\FTV”
After this completes go ahead and click the “Install Llama” button. This will allow us to launch Kodi from the Amazon home page later. You are done on your PC and the FireTV is now loaded up ready to configure.
