I tested this d/l on a non-dev win7 machine, it installed and ran fine. Thanks for helping me test this.
Link is nothing but a virus site. Don't go there.

Just go to Settings/System/About and it will show what version you have.
Thanks.

You're probably using the Chrome web browser which is reporting false positives for devhost. It's not a virus site, I've used it for years. That said, I'm looking at a different host.

Every link I click on downloads a malware. Everytime I move my mouse, it downloads a malware.
However, I appreciate your work and hope I will be able to test it soon.
Thank you.

As I said, I've used devhost for years, as do large numbers of devs at xda-developers and I'm dismayed by these reports. I've moved adbFire to a new hosting service, sorry for the hassle. Be sure to refresh your browser cache if you visit http://www.jocala.com/adbfire.html

It's not the site, changing the site won't really matter because Chrome thinks the download is malicious. It's not blocking the site, it's just saying, once the download is finished, that "adbtest.zip" is malicious.

That's because you are getting a "False Positive". If you're using Chrome it will do this when it doesn't know what the download is. Chrome doesn't recognize the file so it says "it must be malicious", even if it isn't and it does this with a lot of non-malicious programs. Chrome will even do this on download programs that are "beta" software from reputable company's.
Chrome will even block this as malicious: http://www.mediafire.com/view/6tees164f3u3u96/convert_metathumb_jpg.bat
Which is just a simple bat file to batch convert image extensions. It only has this in it:
ren *.metathumb *.jpg
Which all it does is rename .metathumb images to .jpg and you can View it in mediafire without downloading it.

xbmc gotham 13.1 release - I have been trying to eliminate choppy playback with xvid encoded files. (jitter stutter whatever is the appropriate term ) The file I am looking at is not using packed bitstream and does not matter whether it is in avi or mkv container. A good measure of this symptom is the opening studio logos or scenes which have panning or gliding objects. Divx encoded files do not seem to have this problem.
If you have hardware acceleration applied, go into settings, video settings, acceleration, disable libstagefright, disable mediacodec, and try and see if that works, otherwise choose software acceleration without choosing multi-threaded decoding.
the key to get this to work is to not have libstagefright or medicodec applied in hardware decoding. If you have to, then apply software decoding without multi-threaded decoding. It might take a reboot for this to work, or simply play a file with hardware decoding and then choose the above settings.
Let me know if that works for you. This also works on the xbmc for ouya application.

FWIW, I packaged adb for Windows, OS X and Linux as a convenience for Fire TV XBMC folks that didn't want to be bothered downloading the entire Android SDK. I uploaded them to dev-host: http://d-h.st/users/jocala -- which as I said, I've used for years.
2199 downloads for Windows
507 downloads for OS X
69 downloads for Linux
I've moved them to a new host and updated the wiki. I don't see any warnings from Chrome or Firefox for the adb packages or adbFire.

OT - What host did you move to? DevHost has been a real PITA for the past few days and won't complete an upload (I've even tried accessing it from several different locations).

Hi Jocala,
just wanted to let you know, your tool is running perfect on my macbook air (mid 2011) with OSX 10.9.3. Connected to wired FTV through Wifi.
Did a xbmc back up, install apk and root.
thankx for the work!
RE: Amazon Fire TV for XBMC - c0mm0n - 2014-06-27
Has anyone found a solution for the Harmony ?
I'm using a Sony TV and can pad navigation / select / right click to work in XBMC, but can't the "back" or "home" working. Either with sony remote or the Harmony Touch.
Any idea ?

I am also noticing lagging or choppy playback on xvid encoded files. I will try this when I get home.
My library is a mix of xvid / mpeg2 DVD rips / h264 rips. Will turning off hardware acceleration affect playback, specifically for 1080p h264 content?
RE: Amazon Fire TV for XBMC - c0mm0n - 2014-06-27
Live TV with TVH : with latest nightly (Helix), no more slowmo playback when switching channels.
Didn't see any change in the hw acceleration.
