Amazon announces Fire TV
http://sourcefed.com/amazon-announces-fire-tv/

Amazon has dove in head first into video hardware, announcing it’s new set-top device: Amazon Fire TV.

Clearly a competitor for Apple TV and Roku, the $99 device is an internet-connected set-top box which uses voice commands that you speak into its remote control. It will also serve as a gaming console, and consumers have the option to purchase a separate $39 controller that is paired with the box.

Amazon has claimed the device is 3 times more powerful than Apple TV and is based on Android and HTML 5, which means it should be easy for companies to bring their apps over to the platform. It supports Hulu Plus, Netflix, Pandora, Youtube, Crackle, iHeartRadio and Vevo. Sadly, HBO Go and Vudu are not supported.

Fire TV also has a predictive engine called “ASAP,” which pre-loads content it thinks you are going to watch, so it can start without any buffering or load time. This feature learns over time and gets better at suggesting content you like.

In a prior announcement made this weekend, Amazon said it will be turning six shows from its Amazon Originals program into a full series. The shows, which were selected after viewer feedback from the pilot episodes, include ’The After’, ‘Bosch, Gortimer Gibbon’s Life on Normal Street’, ‘Mozart in the Jungle’, ‘Transparent’ and ’Wishenpoof’. Amazon also renewed ’Alpha House’ — starring John Goodman — for a second season.

As far as gaming is concerned, the console will offer titles such as “Minecraft” and “The Walking Dead”. Many of the titles will be free or cost a little as $1.85 to play.

the Fire software is saying cache full or Kodi/xbmc is saying that?

System, applications, Kodi, clear cache.

Do you use a custom advancedsettings.xml file? Have you applied the zero cache fix in a maintenance app or anything?

There are different caches in play here. Don't get them confused..

There's the Android FireOS app cache, which can be cleared via the FireOS main menu at System\Applications\Manage All Applications\ navigate to the app and click on it, and select the Clear Cache option. (Never select the Clear Data option) That only deals with the Android OS and it's app cache, and has nothing to do with the message you're getting during playback.

There's also KODI's various cache folders. Many plugins and such will have their own cache folders to use for plugin updates and other functions. This is the type of cache that is cleared by maintenance apps like in your Youtube vid. But that's different than the cache full message you receive when playing a video.

That's the third kind of cache, the video buffering cache only used during video playback. After playback is over this cache is cleared automatically. KODI will download enough of the video to ensure continuous playback before starting. It calculates the rate at which you're downloading, and knows how much of the video it needs to download, and that's how it gives you the little buffering percentage. By default you should very rarely see a message about the cache being full. But if you've installed what's called an advancedsettings.xml file, it changes the parameters of the video cache settings. Usually people use it incorrectly though, and it causes the cache full messages. That was why I ask if you'd installed a custom xml file or used a maintenance app that did.

the only problem with that is the limited space on the fire tv. an HD movie will completely fill your storage instead of ram when you do the zero cache fix.

I know, I'm wondering if he has the zero cache enabled and that's his problem. That happens frequently.

I think the settings you want for firetv are now:
cachebuffersize 34603008

But honestly, I think I got rid of everything except clean library after update. Kodi has really improved to the point where you really do not need to mess with it.

I wouldn't do that. It won't fix that issue and could make it worse.

How's the connection with other stuff like Netflix, etc? Do you have a good network connection in general? And have you tried a variety of sources? Not all sources work the same, and you have to figure out which ones work for your location...

Netflix and flixster works fine. My internet connection is great I tried a few other links and they're running smooth. Maybe it was just that one bad link to stream the video. Cause my fire stick only 2 weeks old.

Thank you for your help.
