Bill Roberson/Digital TrendsKodi (formerly known as XBMC) is an open source media hub that aims to make it easy to access all of your digital media, from music to movies and even live TV, all in one place. It’s available on a lot of platforms: Windows, Mac, Linux, Android, iOS, Raspberry Pi, and, but one place you won’t find it natively is the Amazon Fire TV.That doesn’t mean Fire TV users are out of luck, but installing Kodi on the Fire TV isn’t as easy as most apps — you can’t just download it from the store. That said, it’s a simpler process than you might expect. Installing Kodi only takes a few minutes, and we’ll show you how. Before you startIf you’re looking to install Kodi on your Fire TV, you’re probably already familiar with the software, but if you’re just getting started, you might want to check out the company’s website to be sure you’re fully aware of its capabilities. There are alternatives that are somewhat easier to setup and maintain, Kodi is completely free and also highly customizable.You’ll also want to make sure you’ve got everything you need before you get started. What you’ll needFirst things first, you’ll need a compatible Fire TV device.

This guide is aimed at Fire OS 6, so some instructions may differ slightly if you’re using older hardware — mainly, the Device menu under Settings is called System on older versions of Fire OS.Kodi doesn’t come with the ability to actually play anything on your Fire TV out of the box. You’ll either need to be running Kodi on another device in your house that acts as a media server, or you’ll need a USB hard drive, thumbdrive, or MicroSD card with video files you want to watch on the Fire TV.

It’s also worth noting that the Fire TV only supports FAT32-formatted drives. Most thumb drives and MicroSD cards as well as some external hard drives come formatted this way by default, but if your drive doesn’t work with the Fire TV, this could be why. The Fire TV’s USB port isn’t able to provide power to full-sized USB drives either, so if you plan on using a bigger drive, you’ll need one with its own power supply. A note on securityDuring the first step of the install process, your Fire TV will warn you that enabling unsupported apps (Kodi is one such app) could potentially pose a security risk. This isn’t a bogus warning either.
Reports have been popping up since June 2018 that some users who enabled options required for installing Kodi have been seeing malware targeting their Fire TV devices. In August, Amazon updated older Fire TV models to give the warning (previously, this warning only occurred on newer devices running FireOS 6), but you’ll have to ignore this warning in order to install Kodi.If you closely follow the instructions in this guide, you shouldn’t have much to worry about, but if this gives you pause you might want to look into a solution that is actually available in the Amazon App Store.You have been warned.
