Yeah, I figured as much. I agree though, I absolutely hate the stock home screen UI. I was hoping amazon video could be launched as an app from xbmc, but no luck on that. Strangely, Amber crashes when I try to access android apps and I have to favorite them from Confluence (after which they work fine in Amber). Anyway, thanks for the quick fix...It makes the box infinitely more user friendly IMO.

So KFTV Launcher opens just fine for me under android apps. I can even favorite it and launch it from the favorite slide-in menu from confluence. I cannot add it as a shortcut under programs in confluence, KFTV launcher will not show up. Amber used to crash on me all the time back before Gotham when opening the android apps folder, seemed like they got Amber fixed with the last update for Gotham.

Does anyone know if hdmi cec somehow works with the firetv remote/firetv so that it will turn your television off so I won't need two remotes?

I have Samsung tv from around 2009 with Anynet+ CEC. It detects the Fire and will power on my tv if I wake up the Fire with my Ortek remote (or whaterver). That's pretty much where it stops for me, I have random play-back control in random programs. For example FF works to skip tracks in pandora, but that's it. In XBMC all I can do is pause it. In Amazon IV it works to skip ahead and behind and pause. I've tried every button in every program, that's all I got. It could be my cable, but I have no other CEC devices to test with.


FYI TO ALL USERS: To reboot the fire remotely hold "Play/Pause" and "Select" for 5 seconds. I would be glad to add to wiki, but I'll have to wait a bit it seems.
