Aftvnews downloader to sideload apps

I agree. My intention is not to make this app like an appstore. Ive looked for it on my firstick apps, but cant seem to locate it, although the stick doesnt make it easy to find apps, with its catergories liketv, education, business etc……. I tried doing it using dropbox and it looks like it downloads them all but then gives a parse error at the install part.

I think a very useful feature would be to have a bookmark feature. Then, whoever wants to can just upload current versions of their apps that they commonly install on FireTVs onto an FTP server and just bookmark the root of the folder that contains all the apks. I am already doing this with ES File explorer, but it does not have the feature of automatically installing. On that note, how does this program handle zipped apks? Does it unzip, then auto install??

And I can happily confirm that address input via Fire TV app works fine, saving even more time. I have a question. I reset my fire stick to factory settings. Then I went to settings and turned ADB and all that jazz.

Then I downloaded the down loader. When I type it the url for kodi it proceeds to tell me connection error even though I am connected to the internet. What is my problem??? I have the issue as the commenter above. Trying to download Kodi and it just says connecting and never downloads anything. Any ideas? That is what happened with the v1. Just as my developer and I work into the night to fix issues and push out an update, we wake up to newly reported issues and get right back into it. That has been our cycle ever since the Fire TV 3 was released.

Version 1. The main purpose of this release is to fix an issue that was preventing owners of the new Fire TV 3 from installing APK files. If you have version 1. As Fire TV 3s began arriving yesterday, the issue with Downloader was discovered around mid-day and I had a fixed version completed and submitted that evening. The current 1. I have fixed the issue and have already submitted an updated 1. The update just needs to be approved by Amazon first, which usually takes about 24 hours, so the update should be live tomorrow.

In the meantime, you can use Downloader to download files as usual and then switch to the free app Total Commander in order to install APKs. If not what should I do first since I have a brand new ftv2. Great Super Easy app to use. Thanks Puppinoo. Becouse i really like the youtub app for Fire TV wich you can use with a Remote.

Yup, check out this guide. Be careful of 2. Thanks for trying to help. The thing is i dont have an fire device i have some other box. I think somebody is realy trying to make me wanna buy a new box just for the sake of yt for tv app but i dont have a free HDMI:- P. S Is the apk extractor packaging the apps like original? OR how does that work? Also, all the terms needs a clear explanation before a newbie like myself get started to side load kodi, etc…. So I have a brand new ftv2 sitting next to me as I skim through every ftv2 article in this site just to piece everything together before I start side loading.

So here is what I am planning to do for side loading: 1. What do I do with kodi now? Select the base folder for the video or videos you wish to watch.

This will have Kodi treat the folders as a Bluray disc. Just make sure the app is setup to your Fire TV IP address, flip through the apps on your phone and it uploads the app and installs for you with one click.

Easiest method for me. Great guides as always Elias! ADB command line: adb disconnect This is how I sideload apps like kodi.

Only for android phone and Tablet. Install ES File explorer on your phone or tablet. ADB must be set on your Fire tv. Your application is now live. That reply is completely irrelevant to my inquiry, so either the person replying is incompetent, or their skirting my question. Great to hear your app is back, Elias.

Frankly, I think it was asinine that the app was ever removed in the first place, really. What of apps that are developed and released solely on the web for direct download and not in any app store? Should those people be punished? Your app fills a giant void for myself as there are apps that developer friends of mine release directly onto the web and are awaiting approval in various app stores.
