Hello all! I am new to Kodi and have some questions. I have searched the forums and have read contradicting answers so I'm hoping someone can help.
First Question: I am using Kodi 14.1 on the Amazon Fire Stick. A few days ago I turned the Fire Stick on and attempted to use Kodi as usual but the Fire Stick showed a screen stating I need to either "Register" or "Create An Account". It will not allow me to exit this screen. As I'm a newbie I am hesitant to do anything for fear of screwing up the stick and/or Kodi. Do I create an account? Will that effect Kodi at all? Is this Amazon's way of booting Kodi users?
Second Question: My stick came with Kodi 14.1 and I see that the latest Kodi version is 16.1 Jarvis (I think I have that right). In the forums I have come across several different ways to update and I don't know what the proper way to update is. Some posts say I need to delete 14.1 before updating to 16.1, some say it doesn't matter. It seems as if every post I read about updating Kodi has a different way of doing it. Again, I am concerned that I will screw everything up. What is the best way to update to 16.1? Do I need to delete 14.1 first?
I realize these are Kodi 101 questions, but I am not technologically inclined. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
