Update to change extUSB references/coding to USBdisk?

Now that OS 5.0.5 is in the wild, wouldn't it be a good idea to change any label and coding that references "extUSB" to the following else the backup/restore and data move functions will no longer operate properly (which they do not on my recently updated FTV 1 boxes):

Fire TV 1 USB Drive: external directory is now labeled "USBdisk"
Fire TV 2 USB Drive: external directory is now labeled "USBotg"
Fire TV 2 MicroSD Card: external directory is now labeled "SDcard1"

Thanks for the feedback.... Yes indeed I will update in my next release.

Weird thing; I tried (twice) to install SPMC. The program downloads is, reports that it was installed correctly and tells me not to push any configs before I run it, but the app is nowhere to be found under "Manage apps" on my AFTV1... Anyone can confirm?

Same error I changed to restore for sdcard like you showed me in

Just installed FireTV Utility App v.57 and it works as expected after selecting SD Card as the source. It backed up Kodi just fine to the C:\FTV folder.

I changed to restore for Sdcard like you showed me in picture and it still doesn't work, I downloaded .60 and when I hit Sdcard and restore I get error message "Cant find filename in arguments" what ever that means I don't know.

Use the first link. Then make sure you click on ">> Click here to download current v0.62 <<".
Then let AdFly load. Counts down about 5 seconds on the upper right side. And lick on "Skip Ad". This might load a bunch of pages. But just wait until a MediaFire page loads & download from there. Do not download anything else. Only from MediaFire site. And close any other pages that pop-up.

Looks like you fell for a third-party download button... if I were you I'd be scanning my PC for viruses and malware like crazy.

    Hi Guys,

    I've created GUI app to easily sideload your apks to the Amazon FTV & Stick.... I will be updating it over time with extra bells and whistles.

    Please take note that this app contains Towel root exploit which some virus checkers will report a false positive. (This app is 100% virus free)

    I do not take any responsibility if you root your device and it gets bricked.

    The link below will direct you to the download page where you will find the app.

    attachment.php


    Download website link:
    Main [Mod edit: download links removed (PPC links are not allowed).
    or
    Backup link Mod edit: link removed (pay-per-click links not allowed)

    1. Unzip the folders to "C:\FTV"
    2. Launch app "Amazon FireTV Utility App.exe"

    I've tested it on Win7, Win8, and Win10.


    Feel free to ask any question's, post any comments or concerns, or make suggestions for things you might like to see

    Donation's are never expected, and always appreciated.

    Enjoy
