Download Kodi App/APK For PC
I have now developed 5 different tutorials on how to install Kodi on Fire TV which I have outlined below. The first and third videos below do not require that you use a computer for installing Kodi.
In my opinion, the easiest method is the first tutorial outlined within the list below since you don’t need a computer. You simply install a free program from your Amazon Fire TV App Store and Kodi APK Download onto your Fire TV or Stick through that. Pick the tutorial below that works best for your situation!
In the following video tutorials, I am going to show you how to install Kodi on Fire TV or Fire TV Stick. You may ask what is a Fire TV? The Fire TV is a streaming media box manufactured by Amazon that you hook up to your television and it allows you to watch online tv shows, movies, etc. The Fire TV Stick does the same thing as the box but it is less expensive and easier to conceal than the actual rectangular box.
If you are trying to decide whether you want to install Kodi on a Fire TV or Stick, here are a few things to consider. The Fire TV Stick has less processing power so it won’t be as snappy as the Fire TV. Also, The Fire TV Stick does not have expandable storage like the actual Fire TV. The Fire TV allows you to add additional storage through a micro sd card or USB thumb drive.
If you do not currently own an Amazon Fire TV Stick, you may purchase through the Amazon Web site via links here – Fire TV – Fire TV Stick
In these video tutorials, I am showing you how to install Kodi on Fire TV stick and not the box. However, the same instructions will apply for each device. There are quite a few tutorials on the Internet today that show you how to install Kodi on Fire TV but this one will go through every step in detail so you won’t mess anything up.
You may ask yourself why you would want to install Kodi on Fire TV? Kodi is an open source media center that allows you to stream movies, television shows, home videos, pictures, and more over your local area network or stream from the Internet through various Kodi Addons.
Kodi Shortcut Not Displaying Under Apps Section On Fire TV/Stick Home Screen?
Some people have reported the problem of Kodi not displaying under the apps section on the Fire TV home screen following installation. More than likely, this is due to having out-of-date firmware on your device. To fix this, go into Fire TV Settings / System / About / and scroll down and click the “Check for System Update” button. If there are updates to be installed, install all of Framaroot in your computer.
If this doesn’t work, another solution is to go into Fire TV Settings / My Account / Deregister your device and then register again with the same login details.
