[SIZE=9pt]I’m not sure what Trakt is supposed to do but I what is does for me is saves me the headache of listening to my wife complain that she can’t find the shows she likes and she doesn’t know how to search in Kodi.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]It’s 4 clicks for her to find her shows[/SIZE]

I've used it for that, but that seems to be redundant to what the "add to favorites" option does within kodi. I use the kore kodi phone app as a remote so that's how I get to that feature.

I was looking through this thread and it's what gave me pause and the prompt to ask here. Seems kind of hit or miss, not specific to any particular AVR brand, Fire or Fire Stick, inputs, etc.

Trakt does more than the generic favorites...it will keep track of episodes you've watched. When you go to a season of a show, there will be a check mark next to episodes youve watched, and you can also use the progress option and it will list all the last episodes of your watchlist shows you've watched. Click one and it takes you to the next episode.
It's been buggy for me lately, with shows disappearing from my watchlist but still in my list on the website...so I have to keep using search to find those shows that disappear. Annoying AF.

I do get the "check marks" next to each episode so maybe that part of trakt is useful.
Yes, that's the proper way to do it with a sound system.
ETA: I have a HTPC in my system instead of a fire, but, everything goes into the receiver (except the xbox) and then the receiver passes through the xbox before it finally gets to the tv. Xbox turns everything on at once.
ETA2: Well, actually the HTPC never turns off because it services 5 video security cameras.

Tony, I may have a very technical question that maybe you can help me with. I'm in the process of updating my HTPC. I want to keep windows 7 because of Media center, and I got one of these new super fast m.2 hard drives to install it on. Apparently you can't do that (windows 7 doesn't know what an m.2 drive is) - so you have to embed the drivers for it, as well as usb 3.0 drivers, into the windows 7 install. I have no idea how to do that. Any ideas, or just scrap the m.2 drive and install it on a ssd and call it a day?
I don't have any experience with the M.2. Does Windows 8.1 know what a M.2 is because WMC didn't get phased out until Windows 10? Just googling around you'd have to try something like this and it has to be done with a bootable USB, not from the windows disc. Otherwise yeah, I'd just go with a SSD. My HTPC is Windows 8, so I could keep WMC, and SSD.
P.S. We're going to have to find an alternative to WMC someday.

OKay trying to do this but I have OSX 10.6.8 and ADBLINK for Mac is 10.7 or greater.....
Any other way to push kodi to my FireTV? Any way to install direct from FireTV without a computer?
EDIT: Trying this method:

I only use exodus for movies and tv shows and smoothstreams for sports. Not sure if either are installed by default.
If you choose any of the 40 popular shows or movies that populate in the panes above the horizontal scroll bar they will open in Exodus. Otherwise scroll the horizontal scroll bar to movies or tv shows then go down to exodus which is 3rd or 4th on the horizontal list just below the scrollbar. Once that opens I usually choose "People watching" to randomly find a movie/tv show or go all the way to the bottom to find "search". Type in whatever you're looking for. Note it doesn't spell check so you have to get it just right and if you have an apostrophe or dash in the title you might have to try a couple different combinations to find it.

One add-on that's important to me, but not many others, is USTVNow. It's intended for overseas military, and you have to sign up for it. It's basically all the networks, plus a couple more channels. I can't get antenna reception at my house, so this is ideal for me. It's also more legal and reliable than the other streams if you just want to watch national sports. I'm not a picky sports-watcher, so I'll just watch whatever NFL game is on rather than having to see all Colts games or something.[icon] said:
I could see myself undoing Titanium sometime - I mostly just use USTVNow, Exodus, and 1Channel (like Exodus, slightly worse). Occasionally I'll hunt around for a specific college football game or USMNT game, but that's a maddening thing to do. I might be better off with no chance of finding a crappy stream that cuts out frequently.

Most don't, but some do. It can be useful to buy Sunday Ticket, and it can hide your streaming, but as tonydead always says, nobody has ever been nailed for streaming. It's possibly legal - if not, it's at least ignored.

Interesting, would it choke on 500GB of music files like WMC does?
ETA: Albums are inside a folder structure.

Not sure on how many files it is but it doesn't choke on 6TB (only ~250 movies) of movies from a NAS.
Yeah but I think it's the number of files it has to catalog. Will try it out some time.

I have a networked tv tuner that works seamlessly with Wmc. It's built into windows, easy to use, and just works.

So: my bar reads pictures / videos / music / programs / system.
Under system > profiles I have login (disabled) and "profiles". My two options under profiles is "master user" and "add profile"
What am I missing? :(

Up super early this morning and so far using Kodi I've watched:
Nocturnal Animals 4/5 - Good quality stream but Chinese subtitles
Girl on a Train 4/5 - Good quality
The Accountant 4/5 - Good quality

If you add a new profile, you get the goods for Titanium (although you can add these to your default profile as well). I didn't use a code or anything. Here is a screenshot (iPhone). Unless I am missing something.
Doesn't sound like you have titanium installed, I thought you said that you did. Should have much more on the scroll bar.
Should do something, even if it times out or doesn't find a stream. Firesticks are slow give it a couple minutes. Otherwise it might be weak WiFi. If it blinks and just goes back to the previous that means the stream is bad not working.

This is a Fire TV box... not sure what's up but it's getting annoying. Had to **** around for a long time sunday to watch the 4th episode of a popular show that we had no issues with the first 3. Hoping this isn't an issue tonight .
Is there an easy/convenient place to stream ESPN for tonight's game?

No such thing as jailbreaking a fire stick. Just install Kodi onto it. Several posts in this thread with various ways you can do it. Takes about 15 minutes or so. You can use a computer or do it wirelessly from your phone (easiest way, IMO). Heres a video tutorial
