IPTV Stalker (dodgy) 1.2.0 version, need to delete and put Official version (1.0.18)?

[eureka]

You seem to be on the right road anyway. On your firestick Settings -> System -> Developer Options did you toggle both ADB debugging and Apps from Unknown Sources to ON?

Ok this just gets weirder! Now for the real weird part, well it seems weird to me but might make sense to other I guess. I watched a youtube video on updating to kodi 15.1 and it says to go into the setting on the fire stick and check the installed applications for kodi.....well there is none!! There is no kodi in there at all, this makes no sense at all as clearly I do have kodi! Now the one thing I did notice is in there is "ikonotv", I do always have to click on this in the main amazon menu to load up on kodi normally. So I dunno if that explains this but then surely shouldn't kodi be listed in there! Anyway I really need this guidance on this one from anyone as this is incredible odd to me. Thanks

Hey Eureka,

Yes both of those are both selected to ON

To install Kodi on the Fire TV do the following.

1. Download the Kodi Arm from the Kodi site. hxxp://kodi.tv/download/
2. Download Amazon Fire TV Utility. hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2736774
3. On your Fire TV go to Settings -> System -> Developer Options and Enable ADB Debuging and Apps From Unknown
4. On your Fire TV go to Settings -> System -> About -> Network and write down the IP Address.
4. Unzip the AFT Utility to c:\FTV.
5. Start AFT Utility.
6. Go to file settings.
7. Check the first radio button. Put the IP address that you wrote down and enter in to the first IP Address field. Disciption can be anything you want to use to identify this Fire TV Box.
8. Check the Normal Debug Mode.
9. Click Save and Close.
10. Click File Connect. A command box will show up. Wait for the connected to <IP Addreess> of Fire TV.
11. Select Sideload and Install APK File.
12. Cleck the Select Button and select your Kodi.APK file.
13. Click the Side Load 3rd Part Application Button. Anothe command box will appear. Wait for it do go away.
14. Now go to the Fire TV and make sure that Kodi was loaded by going to Settings -> Application -> Manage Installed Applications. The look through the list for Kodi. If there select it and Launch Application.

If everything is good so far, you can continue on to these optional steps. Since you have side loaded Kodi, the only way to start it by using step 14. Below are some steps to make this easier.
1. Go back to the AFT Utility App.
2. On the left side under Kodi Configuration, Select Kodi for Kodi Flavor.
3. Click on Install Fire Starter. Again wait for the command box to close.
4. On your Fire TV you should see that FireStarter has started and is showing.

Now you can go to settings in FireStarted and configure the single and double click actions of the remote home button. For example one click starts Fire TV Home and double click starts Kodi.

Thanks for the information Alucard, why do you recommend not using Adbfire if you don't mind me asking? That is what I have been trying to use but have had some issues like mentioned. I will try what you suggested but big concern I have is regarding what I said in my previous lost

Could you comment on why it would not be shown in there ?and could this cause any problems when I install the update? As the last thing I would want is for all my addons/setup to be over written. For what I read it says the 15.1 wouldn't overwrite anything and everything would just update but obviously my concern is the fact kodi should surely be listed in the installed applications? Thanks again

I know that there are a couple of utility apps, for me I found the Fire AFT Utility worked and was easy to use.

I do not have a Fire Stick but have a Fire Box. I am not sure if it is the same but for the Fire Box you have to go to Setting -> Applications -> Manage Installed Application to Kodi.

If you already have Kodi Installed, Install FireStarter. This will make it easy to access all your side loaded apps and you should see Kodi in it. Then you can use that app to configure the home button on the remote.

I also installed ES File explorer on the Fire Box. This allows you to easily handle the files and access your network shares to transfer files. It also has a FTP server so you can use a FTP Client to move files around. If I make major changes I always make the changes on my PC first and then transfer everything to the Fire Box.

It is the exact same in the fire stick to how you described it on your fire tv, but this is what I mean there is no kodi listed at all in that section (Setting -> Applications -> Manage Installed Application to Kodi). There is just that ikontv (which is what I normally click in on the main amazon screen to load up kodi. But this is what I meant about my concern why kodi not been shown in there. Should be concerned about this?

Thought post an update,

Received a kind email which providing a lot of help in regards to my original issue regarding having the dodgy version of stalker 1.2.0 on my fire stick, I have now took the plunge removed it and installed the correct version - 1.0.18 (after finding how to side load files onto the fire stick) and thankfully its working correctly!

Now the annoying part, seems that even thou I have spent days of effort trying to get this correct version sorted because everyone had advised me that was the issues with iptv stalker giving me auth error issues on most channels in ivue. That this isn't actually the real issue, now don't me wrong there is an improvement since I have installed 1.0.18 as a lot of channels do work now or atleast after the 2nd attempt of trying to go into the channels. That said there is still a lot of channels that flat out don't work and give me the normal auth error message, so surely this must be an issue between iptv stalker and ivue? As there is no reason at all for me to have these issues now.

You had to get your issue with having the correct version of IPTV stalker resolved before tackling any of your other issues, so it was time well spent. It took longer for you to do this because you weren't familiar with Kodi or the fire stick. If you didn't resolve your issue with having the correct version of IPTV Stalker it would be pointless trying to get anything to work. Now that you've got that resolved you'll be in a better position to resolve everything else.

Hey there,

Yeah true I am pleased managed to get it resolved and feel pleased know how to do all that now. Also know how to do repos etc and a bunch of new add ons today which is great. However spoken to a few people since on here privately and thr issue seems to defiantly be on iptv stalker/ivue end, so think it's something they need to look into to get resolved. Thanks
