After searching on an Addon for some subtitles they don't have the movies i would like, but their website has them and i downloaded them to my PC.  How do i add the DL subs to firestick.

[jocala]

Give the subtitle the same base name as your video.  i.e. movie is sometitle.mkv, make sure the subtitle is named sometitle.srt. Copy the subtitle to wherever your video is stored.

I made a SUBTITLES folder and Pushed the folder onto it by creating sdcard/SUBTITLES external link, and was then able to access the folder locally via the audio section in the settings of my movie addon.  Then i just went into the audio parameter during playback and was able to choose my subs.  Had to delay the subtitles by a few seconds to get proper sync but all in all it worked great. Thanks for your response. It had been that long since i had used adblink that i was completely lost as to how it worked.

Glad you sorted it out. Good luck!

Hi,

Suggestions for improving the file manager:

• Allow the local file system to be browsed, so one pane can show a local view and the other can show a remote view. This will make it much easier and less confusing to download or upload files. Currently, clicking 'push' will force you to re-select the source location, which is tiresome for uploading many files. And 'pull' will always go to a single pre-set location. This improvement will also prevent files from accidentally being pushed to the wrong location when the wrong pane is 'active' during the push.
  
• Instead of showing the full path of each file, show just the folders and files in the current folder so it can be navigated like a normal file explorer. It would be nice if file change and modified date are visible.
  

Thanks!

Is there a way to start kodi remotely through adblink?

[jocala]

1. Thank you for the file manager feedback.

2. To remotely start/stop Kodi use the function "Start/Stop Application" under the Utility menu.

 Thank you for the report. Unfortunately, I no longer have any gen1 AFTV devices to test with, my last died a while back.  

I suspect that the adbLink v 3.6 upgrade from adb 1.0.32 to 1.0.39 is causing your issue. You can revert back to the old adb by copying the adb binary and adb*.dll files from your v3.5 folder to the 3.7 folder. For Linux, look in the adbfiles folder, for Mac look in adbLink.app/Content/MacOS/adbfiles/. I just tested this  on a Mac and it seemed to work ok.

 FWIW, although I do not regularly use the backup function in adbLink as I do manual backups, I just ran a backup test using adbLink v3.7 on my Gen 1 Fire TV box and verified that the entire contents of the .kodi folder were, indeed, backed up as expected, including the addons folder.

 Sorry, I can't reproduce your issue.   I borrowed a family member's gen1 firetv (non-rooted stock) and like Txxb161 I was able to backup/restore w/o issues using adbLink 3.7.  

adbLink's backup is a front-end to the adb "pull" command.  You can open an adbLink console and issue the command:

Code:

adb pull /sdcard/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi

Perhaps a manual backup from the command-line that will shed some light.
