Maybe ADBFire has it as well, I don't use that app.įire TV Stick Restore I installed kodi on my PC and made a custom build and now is it possible to do a restore to my firetv stick? I want all the wallpapers, sources, addons, repositories, etc to be included. You can use adb pull or ES Explorer or probably a gazillion other options to pull/push folder to FTV.
Irrespective if you do that or run adb install with "-r" option (not sure with different folder structure of KODI from XBMC, you might have to manually clean your old install of XBMC), it might be in your interest to get familiar with backup/restore of KODI for future reference. If you are comfortable doing that, nuke your current XBMC app and install KODI as a clean install and push your backed up folders back to your FTV. Make sure you backup your addons and userdata folder before you upgrade.
if i want to upgrade to kodi, do i have to uninstall the version thats already on the AFTV or will the new install overwrite xbmc ? thanks You are updated to kodi 14.1.Ībout updates it's up to you no one knows. Updating to Kodi is easy just google: kodi android, download the APK.

Hi - did you manage to do this with titanium? Thank you! I will try Titanium Backup and let you know how it goes. Titanium Backup should be able to let him backup/restore all his apps and their respective settings at one time. There are also much easier ways to backup XBMC settings. He wants to backup everything, that could be slow as hell to do over again for every app he has.
Might be possible to do what you're trying to do with Titanium Backup, I know it runs on the FTV but I haven't used it for backing anything up yet.ġ.) Download and sideload SSH Daemon on your configured amazon fire tv boxĢ.) run ftp client and connect to fire tv, using IPģ.) navigate in the android folder and copy the xbmc folder (SPMC, XBMC ) to your computerĤ.) sideload SSH daemon on the new fire tv, install the same xbmc or spmc version that is one your first amazon fire tvĥ.) use ftp client to connect to the new fire tv box and copy the folder from step 3 into the android folder of the new box. Just wondering if there is an easier way to get my setup onto the other 2 new boxes. But loading all of this took me 1-2 hours. For XBMC I do have XBMC Backup - it doesn't remember a few things when I use the backup but it gets it mostly right. I am buying 2 more for my house, have my first one set up perfectly with all the side loaded apps, XBMC and all of its settings. Copy one FTV to Another, possible? I was wondering if it is possible to Copy over my flash drive from one FireTV to another one. The difference in playing streams was instantly noticable from using Kodi to using SPMC. I kept getting streams that were buggy/jittery and never played smooth, so I decided to try SPMC and have not had one problem since.
Also, I highly recommend SPMC on the Fire TV, cause its the only variant of Kodi that I can find to play all streams smoothly. Uninstall, then install another build, open once, then overwrite the addons and userdata folders with the ones I copied from the last build. I always do it the easy way, copy the addons folder and the userdata folder to a different directory. Backup -> uninstall TVMC -> install Kodi -> reinstall the backup addon -> restore.
