After reading some 48 pages and not seeing the answer (or missing it because i'm jetlagged as all get out), i'd like to chime in with a quick question, since i'm a newbie on the android side (but an old hand at XBMC itself):

I'm working with a build that's a couple versions old on my fire and it's working great (at least with 720p/stereo sources - haven't tried anything more beefy than that yet), but if i want to upgrade, will my settings be preserved if i push a new APK to my device, or will they be reset? I'd like to keep up with new builds as they come out, but i don't want to have to redo all my customizations every time.

depends on the version of xbmc you are currently running and the one you update to.

For example:
XBMC for Ouya: Data file gets created as tv.ouya.xbmc
XBMC v13: Data file gets created as org.xbmc.xbmc
spmc: Data file gets created as com.semperpax.spmc (if i remember correctly)

So if you have XBMC for Ouya installed then a gotham (v13) xbmc for android fire tv gets released you will have to recreate your library because the data folder will be named different.

You can try to rename the folder to the version you are upgrading to

example if you have SPMC installed and a gotham v13 comes out for android fire tv, go to \sdcard\android\data\ and rename com.semperpax.spmc to org.xbmc.xbmc then open up xbmc v13 gotham.
