FireTV Kodi Setup Instructions **Updated**

Here are the current FireTV Kodi/Mobdro setup Instructions Updated 1/18:

****UPDATED!!!****

Disclaimer:  I assume no responsibility for anything you may do by following these instructions and I will not provide support of any kind.  Nor am I responsible for any legal issues that arise from you following these instructions.  USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

Note: These Instructions work for pretty much any Kodi installation.  The only thing that changes is the installation method of Kodi.  The Addon Install and customization is exactly the same for any device.  Head over to Kodi.tv and grab the Kodi version for your platform and proceed from Step 7 of Phase 1.  Mobdro is an Android based O/S Only app and cannot be installed on other platforms.

****12/17 Update****
A large number of Devs, Repos, and Sources have closed their doors!!!  I'll be updating this as I have time / the information becomes available - Please be patient.  Also, you should look into a VPN service and a debrid provider!

****NOTE*** If you have an Android Device running anything less than 5.1 Kodi 17 will not work!  You will get a package parser error!  The only way to get around this is to use a version 16 of Kodi or <16.5 version of SPMC!!!

Here is a link over to HTPCBeginner - he has a good version of Kodi 16.

To Upgrade an Existing / Broken Kodi:

Step 1: Start FireStarter / Updates / Update Kodi to the latest Version.

Step 2: Go to the FireTV Home Screen then to Settings / Applications / Manage Installed Applications / Kodi - Clear Data (2X) and Clear Cache

Step 3: Start Kodi and Proceed From Step 7 In Phase 1!  That's it!

Note: Mobdro Updates Itself and doesn't need to be manually updated as a rule.

To answer the question - Yes you can do this on android / kindle based devices - Phones and all!  iPhones / Pads need to be jailbroken and Kodi Installed via Cydia.  Otherwise any Apple devices cannot have Kodi Installed or Mobdro!
