Yes, Kodi file manager but a skin won't affect it.
No ethernet adapter I'm afraid.

Bad news about this little beast.
The audio does not sync when watching Amazon's own content. It is about 200ms out, audio ahead of the video.
All other apps are in sync (iPlayer, Kodi etc) so you cannot compensate for the AV offset without knocking the apps out.
Pretty pathetic.
Further, no matter the app the audio drops out for about a half second around 44 minutes through video playback. A noticeable dropout. This has occurred on Prime Video, iPlayer and Kodi.
With the sync issue I was resigned to using Kodi and the various apps, ignoring Prime content as the Stick is so cheap compared to its competition, but that dropout is a dealbreaker.
I've tried a full reset, running the Stick with various different settings - Dolby Plus off, on stereo only, tried 60Hz, tried 50Hz...) all kinds of flim flam like swapping HDMI ports to fix it... to no avail.
It is up to Amazon to get the software up to par. Considering how obvious the two errors are, I don't understand what is going on over there in Seattle.
Not a good start.

Hi there,
just read the whole bunch of info here...but cant get the final conclusion concerning "Live-TV" 1080I on the Fire tv 4k stick ?
- Interlacing livetv on Kodi for e.g. mpeg4 h.264 channels (german TV) from tvheadend server , its 50hz 1080I interlaced material .... does it work WITH DECENT INTERLACING ?
maybe someone can help...i´ve just orderder one today with a lot of hope concerning using the stick for live tv and decent interlacing (german tv :-)).
I´ver read the discussion , but could not get a clue if someone was able to test the above mentioned szenario...
feedback welcome :-).
regards

Yeah the audio sync is driving me crazy.
Might have to mothball this and go back to my full HTPC machine.... :-(
