kodi-15-isengard-splash

Hi folks, here’s a short tutorial on updating your Amazon Fire TV to the latest version of Kodi. As of this post, Kodi is at version 15.1.

Here’s what you’ll need for the update:

adbFire (software to connect and push the Kodi installation pack)
latest version of Kodi
know your Copy and Paste keyboard shortcuts (hehehe, just a little humour)

After you download the latest Kodi APK (choose the Android ARM version from the Kodi website).

In the next step we need to Push the file to our Amazon Fire TV. We will use the “temp” folder for that as follows:

Start ADBFire, select “temp” under “Push/Pull/Delete Files”, click the “Push” button and select the downloaded APK file.

Once the push completed (ADBFire will show a message), click the “ADB Shell”.

In the shell, type cd /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files/.kodi/temp and press ENTER.

After that type, in the shell: adb install -r kodi-14.1-Helix-armeabi-v7a.apk (the APK filename depends on the Kodi version – it’s the filename of the file you just downloaded). After pressing ENTER, you’ll see something like this:

Update Kodi on Amazon Fire TV

Now that we completed the update, we will remove the APK, just to keep things clean, by typing this in the shell: rm kodi-15.1.1-Isengard-armeabi-v7a.apk .

Now you’re done, restart Kodi and you’ll see a “first run” message, despite the ‘first run’ all your settings and plugins are still there.

Taking a Stand for Privacy: Why We Said Goodbye to Google

In early April 2020, a significant decision was made at Mercola.com that sent shockwaves through the digital realm: we deliberately blocked Google from indexing our articles and breaking news blog posts. This move was not arbitrary; it was a conscientious step taken in response to the growing concerns about the invasive nature of surveillance capitalism, spearheaded by Google. The Era of Surveillance Capitalism For years, we've been sounding the alarm about the dangers posed by surveillance capitalists, with Google at the forefront. Most websites, including countless smaller ones, rely on Google's "free" analytics program and advertising platforms. But as the saying goes, there's no such thing as a free lunch. Behind the facade of free services lies a stark reality: your personal data is the currency exchanged for these conveniences. Google's power extends far beyond mere data collection. It operates as a surveillance agency with formidable yet covert capabili
