I purchased the Fire TV stick recently. It has Kodi on there but has been blocked by the supplier. Probably to promote Netflix. However, I found a demo showing how to sideload Kodi on the stick from TVAddons and it works well but a bit tricky because you need to set it up as an APK on a PC and port it over the net on to the stick. If anyone is interested I can post the link here, if that's ok with Ech. Otherwise I can PM it.
post the link as a dead link _http and I will check it out, lol
Would be keen to read what people's experience with this stick is especially on HD performance over WiFi.

Lol. Try this one
I found the stick pretty good. Watched season 5 of G o T.
kodi on the firestick works flawlessly,,,,,ive had it few weeks now ,,,,im impressed
here is a link to adb fire 1.25 for windows,,,,,,great for transferring apk files to an from the firestick or fire tv or restoring or backing up kodi.....remember to allow adb debugging on the amazon device........

i had an issue at the start with the wifi dropping out,,, i then attatched the hdmi extender that came with it and haven,t had any dropouts since,,,,,sounds strange but made a big differance...
You guy's are genius at getting me to spend money.
That's grand to know. Must have been a lost leader that was cutting into their profit margin. £35 is still cheap enough when you compare the rubbish being sold at similar prices on that infamous bidding site.
They tell me "get it next day with Prime" but it's out of stock until June 20. Got to spend some time now working out how that one works.

Would be good to hear the views of anyone trying out any of the above procedures.
Sadly, out of stock everywhere at the moment.
Loads in J Lewis today at £35.
The 2 links refer to Fire TV and not the Fire TV Stick. Do the instructions also apply to the stick please.
I used my last link on the stick. But ............The addon guys have produced TVMC for the Fire Tv. And I guess it will be ok for the stick as well. So an easier route to get Kodi on to Fire Tv.

I think Fire ecosystem is not that good, However, Fire TV stick is very cheap and I think it would be worth getting it for Kodi. Is Kodi fully functional on Fire TV stick?
i notice Kodi is in the amazon store now too
Why do I get the strange feeling the Kodi is on its way to becoming a legal pay system......
Yes, and it is on the stick as well. But blocked by Amazon. Hence the sideload but I've not tried TVMC yet.
