Just wanted to share some personal experiences with FTV, Kodi after the recent updates
The new Fire TV updates have introduced some much needed and interesting features but the two important ones in regards to Kodi are
1. USB port can now be used for storage without rooting the box
2. Pressing and holding the home button can now give you the option to put your device to sleep.
Just wanted to share because lately I have noticed people complaining about the inability to "turn it off".
Unrelated to the updated, I also recently used a custom launcher called "fired tv" that can be used to avoid the unnecessary cluttered main menu of FTV. It provides a nice overlay you can customize and only add shortcuts to your favorite apps.
