I'm looking at this:
http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Amazon_Fire_TV
and it has adb commands for copying files back and forth between the PC and Fire. (I don't really know why I'd want to do that.)
But it doesn't say anything about how they are supposed to talk to one another in the first place. My PC is in the next room, not hooked up to my entertainment center. Can the Fire with XBMC access it and its files, for streaming? How?

@LazerBlue: Perhaps I am not explaining this correctly.

I'd say that my question IS Fire-specific, because that would be the device that is running XBMC. If I have a Fire that is running XBMC -- rather than running XBMC on my PC -- then can the Fire that is running XBMC access the files on my PC (such as my music library)? That is the question, and I would say that is absolutely Fire-specific.

When we say "Fire TV-specific", we mean that the only questions we want to talk about in this thread are questions that would only come up when using XBMC with the Fire TV. Your question is a generic XBMC question that would apply to any XBMC installation. This link should provide you with the information you need. Basically, if you set up filesharing on your Windows (or Linux, or OS X) PC, XBMC will be able to access those shares over your home network and play your content back. This is true no matter what device XBMC is installed on; that's why it's not considered a Fire TV-specific question.

In comparison, one question that is a Fire TV-specific question is, "Does XBMC on the Fire TV have the ability to play back high-bitrate VC-1 files?" That's because the question only applies to the Fire TV.
