How long will we have the Kodi community support if we use this AndroidTV firmware?
That appears to be related to the work done here -> https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/guide...6.4208859/ which, if I'm reading the thread correctly, requires unlocking the bootloader on the FireTV Stick, keeps the Fire OS (although downgrades to 6.2.7.6 which could help KODI), installs the Google Launcher and some Google services, a custom kernel and a few other modules.
It doesn't wipe away the stock Fire OS and apps, and replace it with only Android TV OS and apps. The stick will still be running Fire OS underneath.
Two keys from the original XDA thread...
so that is nice, but with it being Fire OS 6.2.7.6 that would explain the KODI Passthrough...Code:Widevine DRM (Netflix, PrimeVideo etc. works fine)
Kodi Audio Passthrough
