2018 - Amazon Fire TV Stick 4K
@fritsch @Facakente has opened a github issue here:
https://github.com/peak3d/inputstream.ad...issues/460

Looks like it's a Firetv "issue" when using secure decoder.

I have nothing installed but unremovable system apps and Kodi.

I've tried moving Kodi to external thumb drive, but then Kodi's performance is just terrible.

I just have all library content on Network drive which i grab by SMB.
Artist info, album art etc is on network
And thumbnails i have sent to the network drive using path substitution. 

thumbnails are the biggest culprit.

Thanks...so is over network faster than from USB thumb drive plugged into Fire TV? Kodi is for all practical purposes unusable when I moved it to the thumb drive.

My library content has always been on the network.

Can you tell me what the default path is for the thumbnails when installed on the Fire TV?

I dont know if its faster than USB, but I havnt had any problems storing my thumbnails on my network (and with my thumbnail folder currently stands at about 3gb, I really should clean in)

thumbnails should be in your profile directory

so android>data>org.xbmc.kodi>files>userdata>thumbnails (or Thumbnails - not sure if its capitalised by default)..

I just sub the path in advancedsettings.xml

<substitute>
<from>special://masterprofile/Thumbnails</from>
<to>smb://DSL-AC56U/sdb1/Kodi/Thumbnails</to>
</substitute>

Off my device and on network drive I have

+ All library items
+ All thumbnails
+ Artist Info folder, Lyrics etc


My firestick only has Kodi, Facebook, Youtube and a couple of other things and sits at about 1.5gb free


if it drops below 1gb i clean out the kodi packages folder. So for me just keeping that handful of things on the network is more than enough to keep plenty of space without having to do dirty hacks to move all userdata to usb drives

Would this be better to use on the firestick 4K or would your build from June 1st be better?  Thanks.

June 1st fritschfiretv build is based on 18.7.1 with a couple additional fixes.  See fritsch's post above for details.
Thank you for letting me know.

Thanks, great to know! I tried it and Kodi log shows an error that it was unable to substitute for some reason, even though I copied the destination SMB info (login/pass/IP/etc) straight from the passwords.xml to make sure I had it right. I guess I need to turn on debug logging for more details about what the issue is.

According to the following blog post additional Android specific fixes have been added to the 18.7.2 release pushed to Github yesterday, any chance of an updated Fire TV build?

Why fix exactly affects you? Is it latest and greatest syndrome or do you have an actual issue?
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

No one issue in particular but it is nice to have the "latest and greatest" as you put it.  I appreciate your efforts and what they have brought to Kodi users with Fire TV devices.  You've made Kodi a much better product on these devices.

While I am not a medical doctor ;-) the new build is up. Only changes: Rebase on 18.7.2 (or how it was called).

Is the audio 175/200ms delay fix working in the 9th June build?
I still get a delay when watching live TV when the fireos audio setting is set to anything other that Stereo.

It's in all builds since a very long time. If you have a specific issue, especially with LiveTV -> post your Debug Log. Here all fine.
