    Right fholks,

    This Amazon Fire stick thingmy. What's the script with people getting the footie for free and films and the like?

    Do I buy the stick then upload stuff onto it? Kodi or something? How do I do this? Is it easy enough to do? Help a brother out. :shamrock:

    Not sure what method you are using.

    Download kodi and adbfire then side load it with adbfire then add a source to install a build?

    Aye, it takes no where near a hour.

    Done mine last week as I couldn't be arsed running it off my PC all the time, sent it back though as the wifi range was iffy, and bought a RaspberryPi and loaded OpenElec onto it instead.

    Admittedly these are all out the box sticks, which require you to log in to an amazon account and connect to wifi but even accounting for that there is no way it takes 10 mins.

    Turn on developer options and accepting unknown sources, get IP, enter it into adb, connect, install Kodi, install Firestarter App, disconnect from adb, start firestarter App, first run of Kodi, add the Fusion source, install the config wizard and then run the Firestick version.

    What the * have you been doing for an hour? :56: you been individually setting each addon? Just do wookie build or Chris beast build. Does it all for you. Set up in ten mins.

    I can see Paul's point. In terms of an unloaded stick from a brand new unopened box to sitting down to watching streams, it would take more than ten minutes, took me a good hour anyway with my first stick as I was still to download Kodi and adbfire to my laptop at this point. So, for a first set up it can take a while. Once you know what you're doing and have the sideloads ready, it can be done very quickly, yes. 15 mins or so.:50:
