I don't see a 'key' detection on Llama to say, go to the Amazon home when the mic is pressed, and open XBMC when the Home button is pressed, but maybe with Tasker.
This is super exciting....Tasker should be able to do more. It will be great if someone can try Tasker and post a working Tasker script.
I couldn't get the Tasker trial to install, nor do I possess the ability to transfer the secure app anywhere. I played with Llama some more, and can effectively get it to launch XBMC when I press home (though it still shows the Home for a second), and if I played with Android Intent some, could maybe get it to go back to the main XBMC window instead of just where it was last at. Just be careful if you start messing with these kinds of things, and remember that when you are in XBMC, you can use the Programs to launch an Android App if you lock yourself out of the Home...
How did you map home button in LIama? what kind of condition I need to select?

RE: Amazon Fire TV for XBMC - joeyf - 2014-04-10
Apparently over to XDA someone got Tasker working on Kindle but may have to wait for root.
RE: Amazon Fire TV for XBMC - cstark27 - 2014-04-10
Go to advanced and check confirmation and/or delay of around 9s. When active app>fire tv launcher or amazon fire TV launcher or home (can't remember now)>started or in foreground. You can remove the delay and confirmation when you are comfortable with your set up.
Edit: Just wanted to say that out of the box, the mic button and home button both launch the "Home" app. The voice search appears to be an activity inside the Home app. So that makes it harder to set Home button to load XBMC, and the mic to load Fire TV Home. Hopefully I can get to play around with it some more tonight.

To discard build issues, could you also test this rebuilt 12.3.3, please: http://filez.semperpax.com/8q6s
RE: Amazon Fire TV for XBMC - jtr2006 - 2014-04-10
I re-ran my tests from yesterday evening and have found them inconsistent. Not sure if it is my network or my lack of experience. As someone new to XBMC, my results are perhaps not the best benchmark. But here's what I got this morning.
Re-Test of xbmc-20140408-492e29a-master-armeabi-v7a.apk
1. 1080p test file (Monsters.mkv) played perfectly with libstagefright and MediaCodec enabled. See video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKlvx8ktIfQ&feature=youtu.be (I don't know what all the stats mean, maybe someone can point me to some info on them.)
2. Reset Hardware acceleration and was able to play multiple 720p files fine with the following configurations:
libstagefright and MediaCodec enabled - GOOD
libstagefright disabled and MediaCodec enabled - GOOD
libstagefright and MediaCodec both disabled, software encoding multiple threads enabled - OK
I can't speak to DTS passthrough as I do not have an audio receiver. Sound is stereo from TV only.
I'm not sure what to say about these results or my earlier post. Inconsistent results suggest network issues, but not sure why.
Also, 1080p Monsters .mkv test file plays beautifully on XBMC for Ouya 12.3.2. Will keep testing.

Audio
DTS: Works (XBMC for Ouya through HDMI and through optical audio)

Loseless Audio: have these options disabled under system - audio - disable DTS-HD and TrueHD else you'll get nothing but static. it will atleast pass it as stereo.
DTS-HD MA: doesnt work with HDMI (in case you are wondering, optical audio doesnt support DTS-HD MA)
TrueHD :doesnt work with HDMI (in case you are wondering, optical audio doesnt support DTS-HD MA)
Bluray Remux (Only on XBMC for Ouya 12.3.2)
AVC, 1080p, High @ 4.1, DTSHD-MA, 5.1 - Video and audio plays fine as long as you disabled DTS-HD passthrough and run as stereo
