Just got a Fire TV, installed Kodi, installed a couple of the video channels (Crackler and PyTV), however when I try to watch anything on these channels, I get an error in the bottom right that sames "something happened, check the logs". I have no idea where event logs are kept. When I try to connect to an external File System source, I get a "could not access network" message, so I'm assuming the issues the video apps are encountering is the network also.

Fire TV is hardwired into my router and Netflix/games/etc all work fine, but Kodi isn't able to access the network it seems.

Any thoughts?

Kodi 16.1/Jarvis on Fire TV Box


edit: BUT.... when I selected to download a new skin for Kodi, it was able to download and install.... not sure if these skins are included in the distro or if they truly were "downloaded" from an external source.

I just read the Android FAQs, and it gave the location of the logfiles, but they're in a .kodi directory which doesn't appear in the Kodi File Manager. Is there a setting somewhere to make it do an ls -la so hidden directories are visible? Or can I SSH into the Fire TV or something?


edit: ohhhhhhhhhhhh..... I'm gonna have to pull the SD card and mount it on a computer to view the logs, aren't I?

Kodi does have a working network connection. I looked this up and it sounds like the issue with Crackler is the add-on author is requiring python 2.7, even though python 2.6 must be used for Kodi v16. I'm not sure if that is the same issue with the other add-on. One possible option is to use Kodi v17 Beta, which will work with Crackler.

LOL. Ran into a similar issue requesting a cloud server at work. RHEL's 'yum' requires Py 2.6, but any sort of new tools requires 2.7+ (for pip)

I'll load up Kodi 17 and see how it goes.

Thanks.

[wolf2600]

Thanks. v.17 works perfectly.

PyVideo still doesn't work though (but I was able to install and use a "questionable" add-on. wink-wink, nudge-nudge).

Posted the PyVideo issue here:

Again, thanks for the great support.
