Random repo created by a random user? What could possibly go wrong?

Random repo created by a random user? What could possibly go wrong?

What on earth are you talking about

1 - its not a random repo - its a backup of my setup which includes all the best & most common repos and add-ons - install on a fresh version of kodi and you will have pretty much everything setup in a few mins ready to go - saves you adding every repo manually & installing everything yourself

2 - I'm not a random user - I'm a recognised contributer to xda - I post useful & meaning stuff


If you choose not to use it or its not something you need just move on please

I didn't see your post count, so sorry about that.

BUT, people need to stop replying "if you don't like it, move along." It's a discussion board after all. EVERYTHING should be checked for validity, not just taken as word of God

Indeed that's why you should try it before commenting or judging

I'm all up for discussion but I don't like things like this is better than that or negative comments which aren't constructive eg doesn't work as the user hasn't said why or given any information about errors and so on so it's not a useful comment

thank you for this quick set up

Can't get this to push

Sorry, new user here and I can't get this to work. I'm connected and trying to push the backup.zip file from my Mac, but I keep getting an error message. It says the file "does not contain AndroidManifest.xml"

What am I doing wrong?

***Update***
I figured it out, I was trying to install and not push. I'm in the process of restoring now. The only piece of information that was missing here is to allow hidden files to be viewed in the settings "Before you can see hidden files such as .xbmc (files prefixed with a period are considered hidden), you need to enable showing them in Settings > Appearance > File Lists, "

Or..you could go to "System", then "File Manager", "Add Profile" and type URL..

http://upgrades.montrealandroidtv.com

Save as .AndroidTV

Then go to System, Add Ons and then Install From ZIP and click on .Androidtv

And you got everything lol

Has anyone else had issues with this backup and or has your issue been resolved? I am deleting my current build tonight (Animal Kodi on Isengard RC2) to install the nightly and this backup. Not sure what I am in for, but as we are running on the same hardware, FireTV, I figured it's worth a shot. Worst case scenario, uninstall. Thanks for sharing!!

Please tell me how to get the backup.zip to my Ftv....I am on a mac running adbfire. I run the push option and the file must be too large because it ends up failing. I tried Firefox and when I get to the mediafire page i get an error about not having something to download it. I can find a way to get the file moved.

 

[aga080]

you need to install/open Kodi before you send that Zip file(to build file system so you can find it later...duh), currently trying out a few options will report back

 

[bigliquid530]

Will this method work for the Fire Stick also

And is it the latest version of Kodi?

Hey everybody. I'm new at this and I'm stuck on step 12, choosing the destination for USB/SDCARD. How do I find the "location you placed the backup.zip"? I've done steps 1-11 described but don't know where the backup.zip file is. Is it in one of the blue folders (External storage, extUsb, Root filesystem)?

I know it sounds stupid but I just bought my FTV yesterday and Kodi 15.0 was the first thing I sideloaded. Thanks in advance.

You need to push (using adb) the backup.zip file onto the Fire. Use one of the apps on here to do it - adbFire worked for me.

The only addon I could get live streams for any USA channels to work was the USTVNow addon and those are only the major networks like ABC/CBS/FOX/NBC/PBS. Has anyone else had success with any of the other addons included with this for live streams?

Same Boat as you I have sideloaded the backup to my sdcard, it will show if I go to install from zip under addons. As soon as I go to the wizard the backup file does not exist.
