Amazon Fire Stick is a device launched right after Fire TV box, for streaming in 2014. This flash drive can be easily plugged into TV to stream content using WiFi. Fire Stick users mainly watch YouTube, Netflix, Hulu, HBO GO and much more over this flash drive. Moreover the new Fire Stick now comes up with Alexa Voice Control and a quad-core processor, which makes it a fast streaming device. But the bad news is that FireStick users have to pay subscription fees to use the services offered with the device, which makes users to head over to the free option, Kodi.
Kodi also known as XBMC was launched back in 2004; is a streaming software which is highly customizable. It supports anything from videos, images to music and other news. The free streaming player allows users to get their favorite content using Kodi addons. Kodi can be installed on almost every operating system such as Windows, Android, iOS, MacOS and others. Kodi is very popular among Android users along with FireStick and Fire TV.
This flash drive, Fire Stick, which was launched back in 2014 is highly compatible with Kodi. The streaming behemoth has released 12 versions so far and the latest being Leia which is in beta phase. The popularity of Kodi and Fire Stick has made a great choice for many users. As per a lot of sources Amazon Fire Stick uses Fire OS which is pretty much based on Android which is highly supported by Kodi. Kodi has always been under scrutiny from authorities like DMCA, ACE and others hence users have started using best vpn for Kodi to mask their traffic from ISP.
Kodi App is not available on the Amazon App Store, however the utilities needed to setup Kodi on FireStick are pretty much available on the Amazon app store. Kodi can be installed on FireStick using the following methods:
- Kodi on FireStick using AppStarter
- Kodi on FireStick using FireDL
- Kodi on FireStick using Downloader App
This is not just that, Kodi has some special Builds and Addons for the FireStick device. Some of the well known Kodi builds for FireStick are No Limits Magic, Wookie Lite and Hyper TT FireStick.
In some cases FireStick comes with a preloaded Kodi setup, which is not advisable for anyone to purchase or use. This gives rise to potential malwares and cyber attacks. On contrary to it getting a Jailbroken Fire Stick is not a problem as it allows manual installation of many services like Kodi, Stremio, Terrarium, and many more. Some people consider a jailbroken FireStick as illegal while many consider it legal. But in my opinion it is not illegal to jailbreak a FireStick as it only opens up a way to watch pirated or free content. Hence setting up the best vpn for firestick is recommended to safeguard your privacy and also unblock geo-restricted content over FireStick. There are a lot of VPNs which are already registered on Amazon App store for one’s ease, as FireStick supports VPN and does not requires jailbreak to install a VPN.
Amazon FireStick and Kodi/XBMC are a great duo to watch movies, TV shows, cartoons, music, documentaries and almost anything of your choice. Having Kodi on this tiny device provides with updated content which is accessible with few clicks.
