+1 for [LAUNCHER] XBMC for Fire TV (Root)

Set it up yesterday following the instructions in the wiki and am very impressed with it. Having XBMC as the default for my Fire TV but still having access to the KFTV launcher when we want to load Amazon Prime is awesome. My wife (who usually doesn't care about this type of stuff) just told me this is the best thing I've ever set up for us. Now we have an easy way of getting our kids's movies up quickly in our bedroom. I'm still setting up the rest of my XBMC goodies but the basics are done. Unfortunately I wanted to set it up this time with NFS from my server but I guess Flexraid (which I use) doesn't support it so I'll have to stick with SMB.

Another benefit of this setup is that the launcher allows the Fire TV to go to sleep while in XBMC.

NFS not working? do you have an "insecure ports" option for exporting your shares on the server? Android devices need that to find NFS shares.

It has to do with the fact that I use Flexraid for my storage pool. There are some attempts at a workaround for NFS and Flexraid but from reading those forums I don't think there is a true solution at this point.

Thankfully SMB seems to work fine and I haven't noticed any streaming performance issues.
