Kodi has always appeared in my recent list. I don’t get all the comments about this like it’s news.
It only appeared for the relatively few people who “purchased” it from the Amazon App Store during the short time it was an official app. If you side loaded it, it wouldn’t show.
Even then, it only appeared if you never performed a factory reset. If you purchased it back then and setup a new device or reset an existing one, Kodi would not appear. But there are a bunch of devices that still had Kodi in the recent section ever since that glitch was possible.
No that is not correct. I side loaded it, and it shows up fine. I think that maybe you have it backwards.
Are you still on 14.2???
I also noticed on my FTV stick, that after the latest update, Netflix studders a lot.
Try uninstalling it and reinstall…or clear chache…
I have five sticks with kodi and the amazon accounts all were signed out randomly. And my friend said his did the same thing recently. Anyone else experience this? Now it wants me to sign in to amazon all over. Just weird.
