I submitted it to the Amazon App Store yesterday. I got an email today asking me to make a minor change to conform to Amazon's trademark policy. (Turns out if you even mention Amazon or any of its devices or services you have to put in a disclaimer saying that the app wasn't developed by Amazon. I somehow managed to overlook that one sentence on that one page of the dozen or so dealing with requirements and terms for submitting apps.) That issue is hopefully now resolved. I don't foresee any other obstacles in the app getting approved. Not that I saw that one coming, either, but... There's really not much else about the app they could object to.

Also, for any fellow Ouya users out there, I added Ouya support so that it will appear in the Ouya's Play menu. You now have three options for running XBMC on the Ouya without going to the Make menu: the unofficial XBMC For Ouya (missing DTS and AC3 support), Koying's SPMC (which is excellent, but based on Frodo), or using my XBMC For Fire TV launcher with XBMC Gotham (at least as long as you don't mind using something clearly designed for a different device on the Ouya).

Great news! Please let us all know when it becomes available. Thank you for working to make this happen!

Config is the same as SPMC it just locks up. I'll sit back on Gotham until the hiccups are sorted out.

In the log. I can force quit xbmc and relaunch it and refresh again and it works for awhile, but if I try to update the library too many times in a row it logs the above. If it locks up only the menus work, i can't play anything and have to force quit it. Right now I have everything up to date.

I had exactly the same issue with all versions of Gotham since 27/04/2014 (I did not try earlier versions). I tried multiple times, wiping out the application data and dropping the SQL databases (on Synology MariaDB) everytime.

In my case, I think it is a bug related to accessing NFS paths on Synology NAS. It is not specific to the Android builds; the same issue exists with Windows build.

I was previously using Gotham on OpenElec, using the same NFS paths, and had no problem. With the recent builds on the FireTV however, NFS access failed, and I had to add quite a lot of permissions to make it work. Unfortunately, once that was solved, content scanning seems to hang randomly.

The solution is to switch to SMB instead. I know NFS is a bit faster, but to be honest, I have not noticed any difference.

Multiple USB.

I was wondering, if one would want to use a k400 keyboard and a 360 wireless pad would that work with a usb hub on the firetv?

My thought is that while it might or might not work on software level, you'd probably need a powered hub, not just a regular one.

Yes, using xbmc's file manager.

Nice. So I can copy files at home and take the Fire for a vacation and use it anywhere without internet?

You need to set XBMC to shutdown after a period of time and make sure you have FireTV's screensaver on. My box has been sleeping fine and I use the more aggressive Llama profile from the Wiki. I also added the other one that was suggested in this thread.

For me, I have XBMC quit after 120min, and FireTV's screensaver is set to 5min. I tested it with XBMC set to quit after 5 minutes and saw the screensaver pop up right after XBMC closed out, which after about 30 minutes of the screensaver showing, the FireTV goes to sleep.
