Hi can anyone help,
I'm trying to download kodi but am unable to open the download.Is it because i'm using
windows XP or do i need a program to download itHuh
Your posting in the android section, talking about windows xp? IM confused

If you want it for android, go to the play store on your device and download it
if you want it for windows xp, i believe your SOL

Cheers!
Moved to the Windows section, but as Wyild1 says Isengard doesn't run under XP.

Editted to add - or are you trying to download the Android version under XP to transfer it onto another tablet or stick? If so check whether the download has renamed the .apk file as a .zip one. If so just rename it back to .apk and then Android should be able to install it.
Hi, yes i'm wanting to put it on a fire stick but when i download it the download icon won't open. The file has .apk at the end so i don't know why it won't open.
Ok I've put the thread back under Android, now we're clear on what's what Smile

You don't need any special program to download it, your internet browser should be fine. Which file are you actually downloading (filename, and where from?) And on your XP system, do you have it hiding file extensions? Just to be sure that your file isn't actually a .apk.zip file but you're not seeing the .zip if it's hidden.
Try cutting out the middle man (your PC) and try this: http://www.aftvnews.com/how-to-sideload-...e-fire-tv/
This is where i'm downloading it from and the file name :- kodi-15.2-Isengard-armeabi-v7a.apk
http://mirror.ox.ac.uk/sites/xbmc.org/re...abi-v7.And i
can't see if i's hiding the file extensions.
