welcome back to court Cutters Li in this
video I'm going to show you how to fully
install the latest most recent stable
version of the media player Kodi on your
Amazon Fire stick or Android TV
streaming device as of the recording of
this video that would be version 19.4
if you have a fire stick and would like
to install a Kodi on it you're not going
to find it in the Amazon app store by
the same token version 19.4 isn't and
won't be available in the Google Play
Store for Android TV either
you could go right to the Kodi website
and get it but like a lot of Open Source
app developer websites it can be a
little intimidating to find precisely
what you're looking for well I've taken
all the guesswork out of finding and
installing Kodi version 19.4 I'm going
to show you step by step how to do it no
must no fuss no greasy aftertaste so if
you're ready to learn how to install
Kodi Media Player version 19.4 on your
Amazon Fire stick or Android TV
streaming device grab your remotes and
let's go if you're new to cord cutters
Li where we try to help you save money
on your cable bill please click that
subscribe button and hit the
notification Bell doing this will make
sure you don't miss out on any new
videos as they come out and it helps to
support the channel put your remotes
down for just a moment while I get this
out of the way for YouTube's sake this
video is intended to show you how to
install this Media Player on your
streaming device it may do a better job
of it but it's no different than any
media player by definition just like
Microsoft media player for example or
even a web browser you can play your own
media with it you can access media with
it I am not showing you how to get free
movies with it I am not showing you how
to get free sports with it I'm not even
showing you how to get anything free
with it I'm showing you how to install a
media player called Kodi version 19.4 so
with that in mind pick those remotes
back up and let's get ready to learn
okay so like I said earlier you can't
get Cody from the Amazon app store but
there is an app that you need and a
setting that we need to change before we
can get Cody from the cord cutters Li
downloads page so from home move over to
the magnifying glass go down to search
and start typing in the app that we need
called downloader
as soon as you start typing it it'll pop
up because it's a very popular app click
on downloader
and then again
and as you'll see here it says in my
case it says download you own it if
you've never downloaded downloaded
before it's going to say it's free go
get it so let's go ahead and click on
that and let that install
okay so after it's installed we're not
going to go into it right away we do
need to change a setting first so now
let's move all the way over to the gear
go into that and go down to my Fire TV
go to developer options now if you don't
see developer options don't worry it's
probably because you have a brand new
fire stick or you've updated it recently
I've made a video recently that shows
you how to get that back and I'll put a
link in the description so you can get
there so let's assume that you now have
developer options you go into that
go to install unknown apps and move down
to downloader and make sure that that
says on and we'll change it like that
now we're ready so hit the home button
downloader is most likely an app that
you're going to use a lot so let's go
ahead and put that up on this favorites
bar here so it'll be easy to get to next
to these other popular apps so holding
the home button for a moment
and then move over to apps
the last app installed is always going
to be at the bottom of the list and the
easiest way to get to that is to move to
the left
there you see downloader there
so if you hit that hamburger button on
your remote
you can scroll down to where it says
move to front
and then you can click home
so as you can see now downloader is at
the top of the list on your favorites
bar so you can get to it really easily
you can move it down the list a little
bit later if you want to for now let's
go ahead and open it up
click allow this is a one-time thing
and click ok
now up in this box where it says enter a
URL or search term you'll want to enter
the short code for the
cordcutterslide.com website and that is
893
64
go down and click go
that's going to redirect you as it says
to cordcuttersli.com
when it gets there hit that hamburger
button twice to go to full screen
now let's move over to that hamburger
button or menu and go down to tutorials
right there click on it
here you'll see a bunch of tutorials
that we've put together here and I'm
adding more all the time so
come back often see what we have for you
under media players you'll see Kodi 19.4
so go ahead and click on that that'll
bring you to the tutorial on how to
install Kodi you can just scroll down
you can read all this stuff step by step
if you want or scroll all the way down
to the bottom where we have the actual
download button to download it
it's a rather large app 76 megabytes
down into the bottom to the right click
install
when that gets finished don't click open
just yet click on done
and then move to the right click delete
and then move to the left and click
delete once more that gets rid of that
big installation file because we no
longer need it and it will free up some
space on your fire stick
so we're done in downloader go ahead and
click the home button
and just like downloader we can move
Cody to the front or on top of this
favorites bar
let's hold in the home button
move over to apps
move to the left to find Cody at the
bottom of the list
press the hamburger button and then say
move to front
and there you go the two questions I get
asked most by new cord cutters are do I
need a VPN and which VPN is best the
short answer to both of those questions
is it depends if you're someone who
takes their privacy seriously and enjoys
unofficial streaming apps or torrenting
you should use a VPN to keep your
information encrypted and private the
VPN I recommend depends on where you
live if you're here in the US like me
I'd suggest trying ipvanish it's the
fastest and helps minimize buffering
while here in the United States where
nearly everything is available
unblocking content isn't as important
if I were outside the U.S however I'd
suggest expressvpn I feel that does a
better job at ungeo blocking the content
available here in the US while you're
not
in either case if you're in the market
for a VPN subscription and would like to
try either one you'll find links in the
description below for the best price
you'll get anywhere
clicking on these links also helps in a
small way to support the cord cutter
