I've received my new Fire TV in the UK today, enabled developer access and installed the latest 13.2 Gotham apk (xbmc-13.2-Gotham-armeabi-v7a.apk) via adb.
ADB says the installation is successful, but when I launch xbmc from the apps list (within settings) on the FireTV it appears to crash.
It seems to start okay, "Preparing for first run. Please wait", but then 'crashes' back to the app list.
Is this a common issue with a known solution?
If it's important I believe the UK Fire TVs have the newest firmware pre-installed, which is 51.1.4.0_user_514005520

Interesting, why would it not work... ?
Did you try Kodi 14.0 aka Helix ? So, an alpha release ? I got the FireTV specially for running XBMC.
This firmware didn't show up here in Holland, looks like also not in the US.

Have you enabled both ADB Debugging and Unknown Sources under Settings?

51.1.4.0 514005520?
I have that one and cannot get xbmc/spmc working, could you help me out and let me know which version of xbmc you used to get it working?
anything else you did different to the usual adb instructions?
thanks!
