Kodi is a great media system, on par with Plex and Jellyfin. It’s free, open source, and can help you stream your entire media collection reliably to any local device. But while it’s fairly easy to install on your computer, getting it running on a TV is a whole other story.
FASTEST KODI INSTALL ON FIRESTICK EVER 2023 UPDATE!
Popular media players like Plex have an app listed on every major app platform; that’s not the case for the underdog that is Kodi. But don’t worry: while you won’t find Kodi on Amazon Fire TV or Amazon Fire TV Stick, we have a workaround that can get the app running reliably on your TV. That’s because the Fire TV Stick runs Android deep down.
This workaround relies on the Developer Mode on the Fire TV Stick, which allows us to download and install the Kodi app from their website.
Developer Mode is a safe feature to enable, and it doesn't change how your Fire TV Stick operates. (It's important to note, however, that you shouldn't use this feature to download apps from untrusted sources.)
