I was able to successfully link ikono TV to Kodi on my Fire TV stick I bought on launch. However, the new Fire TV I just bought I can't get it link with Llama even after following the same steps. When I go to events menu in Llama, I can link any other app to launch but Kodi to ikono TV.
Anything I'm missing here?

I have my lama set for classic tv. do you want my lama files. You can put them in the lama directory and import from usb and you will be set. but you need to download classic tv. I dislike ikono.tv even as a sacrificial app but its available globally. You can change my profile to ikono easily once you have the files imported. PM me and I'll send it to your way.
Llama and kodi
You must 1st make sure your AFTV has the latest update from Amazon! Then it will restart and work fine! But make sure if you are using the AFTV for the 1st time that you go back and manually do the update! Hope this help have a great night!!

Hi all.
I've played with XBMC a little in the past but nothing too in depth. When I saw the Fire TV come out I ordered day one. My main goal is to completely replace all my Windows Media Center machines and switch to XBMC + Fire TV for each location in my house. The reason for this change is I believe that it will be easier to add-on a few features i've been missing with my WMC setup.
So far ive loaded XBMC and configured it. I repurposed a WMC to be my TV/DVR server in the basement using PVR.WMC. I found a few tricks and this is now functioning as my whole house DVR.
My main issues that need addressing are as follows:
Add "Fire TV" apps to XBMC main menu (Amazon Prime movies, Netflix, and Pandora)
Remote Music Channels from the PVR menu in PVC.WMC
BluRay playback
I have all my DVDs/BRs stored in ISO format on a NAS in my basement. DVDs are fine. BR is a challenge. Am I better off converting to MKV? Does anyone know a way to make a library that is also shared with PLEX?

It is possible to add android apps to the xbmc menu if you are using Gotham. I tried doing it and as soon as I went to android application xbmc 13 final just crashes to the fire TV main menu.

im having the same issue. it would be a perfect box for me iff i can load the streaming services that are built in (netflix, amazon prime, hulu, pandora) from XBMC.
personally i can skip the entire Fire TV menu and live in XBMC if i can load the very nice a pretty customized fire tv apps from XBMC. kinda like using XBMC as a launcher

Wonder if it's just a problem with the final version. I am running a older version and I am able to load android apps just fine.

What version are you running? are you able to load the Fire TV versions of the apps from XBMC?

I will have to check when I go home it's like a week or 2 old. I can launch all the apps except for Amazon Prime.
So I just purchased 2 of the FTV's and set them up for our kids. I installed XBMC and used Llama to run the program through classic TV as most have been doing. We setup the FTV's to run FreeTime which is easy for kids to navigate and provides the parental controls we are looking for. Problem is Llama won't run XBMC through classic TV when in FreeTime. Any suggestions?

Okay, let's get this correct.
You are autoloading XBMC correct? And thru XBMC you are running programs, like Amazon's Freetime? And then when in Freetime, LLama won't run XBMC?
Here is my guess. Since XBMC is already running and you are using it to run another program (Freetime), it can't load it self back up, nor can it switch to doing anything else, as it's already running Freetime, or it just doesn't have any more memory to give up.
I don't auto load XBMC up, nor do I run programs thru XBMC. My suggestion to fix this is: Don't use the XBMC launcher, get FireDtv launcher. Set your llama (not sure what this app is good for on the AFTV, seems great for a phone though). Move your XBMC icon so it's in the top left corner for easy access, and the Freetime icon will be right by it. I'm guess you won't have any trouble getting into XBMC from Freetime if you don't autoload XBMC up first.
If that isn't an option for ya, maybe someone who is more experienced in using XBMC autoloading and running other programs will have some ideas.
I actually got to see his setup. What he did was sideload Llama and set a trigger that when ClassicTV is active to load XBMC. It works fine in parent mode but when in Freetime mode it fails to work at all. This is repeatable.
He is going to try FireDtv but he isn't using XBMC to launch Freetime.
I have the Fire TV Stick all set up and awesome-ized. I have one issue though. There are a few Fire TV apps that I would love to have for the stick, but without access to a Fire TV, I can't migrate them over. One app inparticular, Minecraft PE, is a must have. I have the app from Google Play, but it doesn't have remote functionality like the Fire TV version does. I can easily purchase the app through amazon on my computer, but have no way to access it without a "compatible" device. How can I get access to Fire TV apps I've purchased, without having one? Stupid Amazon should just make it compatible with the stick, as it obviously works on it. Ugg

Unfortunately, there's no way to download an APK from Amazon even if you purchased the app.

Ugg. My son's world is Minecraft right now, and it would be great to have the remote enabled version on the Fire TV Stick. Know of a way to request getting it added as compatible for the Stick?
Interesting. I just pulled an update to 0.10.0 from Google Play and it works with the controller now. All is well with the world now. Haha

Actually you can if you create an Android VM in VirtualBox, sideload the Amazon app store, purchase the app from the store and backup the APK with ES File Manager.
I use BlueStacks (rooted version) on my Windows 8.1 laptop. Installed the Amazon apk and that device shows up under Amazon as a generic Android device. Exactly as the previous poster (install, backup using ES, sideload the apk on FTV), except I use BlueStacks.

To clarify... I'm trying to control Kodi from my tablet
Unfortunately I don't think you can control kodi with that. You should try Yatse. Its way better IMHO.
Want to try this one on my Shield TV. The Android TV version doesn't have a live stream. I have a Fire Stick but I can't find it in the list of apks. Any ideas?

You can still find the latest AFTV version here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71504583&postcount=9
if you want live stream you have to delete the aftv app and data....sideloade this standard android version (first time run you have to use a mouse/remote to set up your provider but then you can use firetv remote to browse livetv stream - cnn/hln/cnn intern. and plays fine) here enjoy
