The method above is almost 100% but you must also realise that the Alien is fussy wth USB stick and some USB sticks will just not work but I found from experience that using the HP USB format tool gets 99% of USB sticks working, just google for the tool its free to download and use and lastly make sure the image you are using is for the Alien 1.

Quote from seunogundip20

My Amiko 8900 just stopped while changing channel, I turned it off at the back to reset it, it has been stock on boot for hours. Any help will be appreciated, the spark is not booting as well.
Babatunde

Should really start your own thread to get more help but you will need to reflash both your spark and E2 image first I would get spark working I've uploaded a rescue image flash that first then upgrade your spark image once this is done than flash the E2 image of your choice.

**mahrkpat** · Apr 14th 2015

At the top of your list add this:

#EXTM3U

I've corrected and uploaded it here just unzip and point your pvr client to it. Tested on my kodi install and works.

**mahrkpat** · Apr 11th 2015

The dev is reporting it as broken but still plenty of ways to watch HD footy the phoenix add on had a few matches on in the phoenix tv section tsn channels are in hd , you just got to look around.

**mahrkpat** · Apr 8th 2015

The Aliens are funny in the way they work if you just are pointing to one satellite (28.2E) then the dvbapi causes problems and you have to delete it before oscam works also try to download and install the oscam files via the softcam feed to ensure compatibiliy with the Alien. I have uploaded the softcam feed just install then look in plugins then green button to get plugins then look in softcams for the oscam of your choice.

ps master G I am not contradicting you about dvbapi it is what I have found with experience on the Aliens that deleting it is the best option.

With nbcsn live extra plugin on kodi you don't need login details just a vpn service with a server thats in USA.

Download Kodi for Amazon Fire TV

Head over to the Kodi download page, and download the latest stable Kodi apk available for Android ARM architecture.

Enable ADB Debugging on Amazon Fire TV

The first thing that needs to be done is to enable AD Debugging on Amazon Fire TV. This will allow you to connect and make modifications or sideload XBMC on Amazon Fire TV. To this go to Settings -> Developer Options and turn ADB Debugging to ON.

Then go to Settings -> About – Network and note down the IP address of your Fire TV. In my case

Download AFTV Toolkit

There are currently two major tools that allow rooting and sideloading apps on Amazon Fire TV: Amazon Fire TV Utility App and the adbFire app. The adbFire app is available for Windows, Mac, and Linux while the Amazon Fire TV Utility apps works only on Windows. You may use either one depending on your situation. I use both as the both have certain unique features. On Windows, download one of the apps and extract it to a separate folder on C Drive as shown in the picture below.

I have shown how to install using both utilities but just follow the one you are comfortable with.

Method 1: Sideload Kodi with Fire TV Utility App

With the Amazon Fire TV Utility app on Windows, first connect to your Fire TV by going to File -> Connect.

Enter the IP address and choose Normal Debug mode and click Save and Close. A command prompt should popup (shown below) indicating a successful connection.

Then, 1) ensure that the Fire TV Utility app says Connected to 192.168.1.187 (of course, with your IP address) at the bottom, 2) browse and select the downloaded Kodi ARM apk, and 3) click on “Side Load 3rd Party Application” button to install Kodi on Amazon Fire TV.

You should a message as shown below, indicating successful Kodi installation. That’s is all there is to side-loading Kodi on Amazon Fire TV using the Fire TV utility app.

Method 2: Kodi Installation on Fire TV with adbFire App

Sideloading Kodi using adbFire app is quite simple as well. Just run the application file in the extracted adbFire folder. Then, 1) enter the IP address, 2) press connect, and 3) press Install APK and browse and select the downloaded Kodi apk file.

The the progress bar at the bottom proceed to completion. You see a confirmation message after successful Kodi installation on AFTV.

Launch and Run Kodi on Amazon Fire TV

After installing Kodi on Amazon Fire TV press both “Select” and “Play” button for more than 5 seconds to reboot it. Unfortunately, AFTV does not add homescreen shortcut icons for sideloaded applications. Therefore, to launch Kodi go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage All Install Applications -> Scroll down and select Kodi -> Select Launch Application.

That’s a lot of steps to launch an application. You can overcome this limitation by creating a Kodi shortcut on Amazon Fire TV homescreen or making your Amazon Fire TV automatically boot to Kodi. Go ahead, install Kodi on Amazon Fire TV and enjoy what this great little box has to offer.

Loading kodi on the fire stick should be the same.

thanks to Anand Subramanian for tutorial

Quote from nainy

hey most of the channels are saying no signal i have tried everything i can think of to fix this, can you please be of any help and tell me what could be wrong please. also the box i am using is a openbox s11

It would be useful to know what steps you have already taken, you say most of the channels say no signal but can you list what channels are working? I f you are getting some channels it might point towards sat cable becoming loose or the sat dish having moved.

Hi mate if I remember rightly in PKT images you have install the config files separately, it should be in the same section where you installed the oscam file from, should be called oscam configurationv or similar.

Quote from ianshaw

im havinga nightmare with his as im new to the andriod oeraaating system.
ive installed the file and t inmy downnnloads then what? this operating system is so limited to what i can do with it!
whr is it stored and how do i access it through the xbmc?

(Sorry I didn't see this post before so I made another post in the support section feel free to delete.)

Mate you need the second file 'plugin.video.nbcsnliveextra.zip ' download to your pc then onto a usb stick don't unzip.
Put the usb stick in your android box then in xbmc system>addons>install from zip file> navigate to your usb stick (sda1) then click o the zipped file it will say something like nbc plugin enabled.

I am suggesting doing it by this method because the direct downloading it the box then installing threw up a wrong structure error for me.

Only getting audio on some channels? If you have an F3S/F5S box, you might need to update your firmware.
Firmware upgrades can erase everything so make sure to BACKUP!

I am using KODI both for my mx box and windows but I am sure the guide will work for XBMC install as well.

As this is a enthusiasts forum I want to create a guide here so you can mess around with settings so that your install is to your exact specifications, KODI is extremely customizable here I will guide you through all the different ways you can customize it from using libraries, smart playlists and the super favorites addon and even changing skins can give you options.

BASICS

I don't know about you but I find the RSS feed really annoying and it does consume a little of your bandwidth (for those with slow broadband) so I would recommend disabling it, unless you really need it. I am using Aeon Nox skin at the moment and that doesn't allow disabling but you can change to confluence which allows it then change back to the skin of your choice.

1 In the Kodi main menu, go to System > Settings.
2 Select the Appearance tab to configure appereance settings.
3 In the skin tab, scroll down and disable show RSS news feed.
4 Now, go back to the main menu by pressing the back key on the remote control or ESC-key on the keyboard.

My box came from Hong Kong so I had to change my time settings so this is how you do that.

1 Go to System > Settings > Appearance.
2 Select the second tab called International. Select Language to change it and then select Region.
3 Select the suitable region from the list.
4 Now, your system clock will show the correct time.

You can have the weather for your location, I tried the met office but found yahoo easier to use.

1 Go to System > Settings > Weather.
2 Select “Service for Weather Information”.
3 Select “Get More…”
4 Select “Yahoo! Weather” add-on.
5 Type in your location, all done.

Kodi/XBMC TV and Movie Library

Thanks to MJD

This easy to follow guide will show you every step you need to integrate Genesis with your Kodi/XBMC TV and Movie Library.

This guide shows how to integrate the TV Shows section. To integrate movies just repeat the process but choose Movies instead of TV Shows at the final step. This can also be done with add-ons like iStream.

This guide is done on a Mac and so the path I take to get to the stored Genesis TV & Movies links is different to that of a Windows/Linux/Android/FireTV user. The paths for Windows/Linux/Android/FireTV users is located at the bottom.

For some devices we need to show hidden files otherwise you will not be able to find the path to your TV Shows-Movies. This is very simple:

Select SYSTEM

Click here to view the original image of 640x400px.

Select Appearance

Click here to view the original image of 640x400px.

Select File Lists and turn on Show Hidden Files and Directories

Click here to view the original image of 640x400px.

Now you can move on to integrating Genesis with you Kodi/XBMC Library

On your XBMC homescreen select VIDEOS > Files

Click here to view the original image of 640x400px.

Select ADD VIDEOS...

Click here to view the original image of 640x400px.

Select Browse

Click here to view the original image of 640x400px.

Select HOME FOLDER

Click here to view the original image of 640x400px.

Select LIBRARY

Click here to view the original image of 640x400px.

Select APPLICATION SUPPORT

Select XBMC or Kodi if you have upgraded to 14.0 Helix

Select USERDATA

Select ADDON_DATA

Select PLUGIN.VIDEO.GENESIS

Select TVSHOWS

You will now see a list of all the TV Shows you added to Genesis. Select OK

You can change the name of the media source in this screen to anything you want if you wish. Select OK

You will now see a screen like the following. Click on none until you see TV Shows

When you have selected TV Shows select OK

Click here to view the original image of 640x360px.

Select YES and allow Kodi/XBMC to refresh the new content

This is now completed. If you go to your home screen you will now see a TV SHOWS link. Clicking on that link will take you to the shows you have subscribed to in Genesis. Now if you do exactly the same but choose Movies instead of TV Shows there will be a link to your Movies library on your home screen as well.

Click here to view the original image of 640x360px.

Use the following path for Windows. If you are on Kodi select Kodi and not XBMC:

C:\Users\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata\addon_data\ plugin.video.genesis\TVShows

Thanks to 'Another Michael' for providing that.

The path for Linux users is. If you are on Kodi select Kodi and not XBMC:

/home/USERNAME/.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.genesis/TVShows

Thanks to 'lassegs' for providing that

The path for FireTV users is. If you are on Kodi select Kodi and not XBMC:

/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.genesis/TVShows/

Thanks to Dhorlo for providing that.

Use the following path for Android replacing XBMC with Kodi if you have updated.

/storage/emulated/0/Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.genesis/TVShows/

or

Root filesystem/sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.xbmc/files/.xbmc/userdata/addon_data/plugin.video.genesis/TVShows/

This tutorial has been done for genesis but it works with any video or music addon that uses the library function and I have also found that tv shows or movies added to the libraries auto play when clicked and you don't have to choose stream source like you would when you use the genesis addon directly. Also once you have created a tv show or a movie category I will show you to how add them to your home screen for easy access later on in this thread (which makes it wife and kids friendly.)

SMART PLAYLIST

At the moment I am going through how to organise your tv shows and movies it takes a bit of time but at the end it will enhance and make your viewing experience that much better. The smart playlist creates a filter for your collection, say you have 100's of movies and you want to separate them so that you can easily find what you are looking for. (can be used for tv shows and music)

In my example I am want all my animation movies in one group so using a smart playlist I create this group and all my animation movies will automatically go in this group.

Video>playlists

Click here to view the original image of 969x544px.

new smart playlist

Click here to view the original image of 969x544px.

select movies then new rule

Click here to view the original image of 969x544px.

select genre is then click browse

Click here to view the original image of 969x544px.

select animation then ok

Click here to view the original image of 969x544px.

give your playlist a name eg ANIMATION press ok, all done

now if you look in video>playlist you will see your new list there

Click here to view the original image of 969x544px.

selecting the ANIMATION playlist will only have animated movies

Click here to view the original image of 969x544px.

remember you can choose the way the list is presented and you want the wow factor

Click here to view the original image of 969x544px.

This is another step towards the goal of personalizing our kodi install
