Yes KODI will shutdown( IN YOUR DREAMS ) hehe, seriously KODI is an open source program and as long as the code is open for modifications then KODI or even the IDEA of KODI will not be able to be shut down, even if Team KODI stop working on it. This idea can not stop as we have seen the many different clones or forks that are on the web, including PLEX, SPMC, DBMC and many others

Husham,
I cannot figure out how to update Kodi from 16.1 to 17.0 on my Amazon FireTV 1. I have tried ADBfire, Downloader, and ES File Explorer. They all fail. I either get a parse error, or just a failed to download. I have been downloading the ARM version of the file. Can you help?

Husham what is wrong with shahid repo on kodi ? none of the links seems to work !
its not been updated for a while
none of the arabic devs working on kodi now days because they dont get the support that they hoped for.. no one sharing or evening donating
no one pressing like on the videos for the addons.. these things hurt devs man and youtubers alike
is there any hope to get this to work? or we can consider it officially dead and uninstall it?
you say with kodi 17 you can save to an external device but android 5 and 6 do not allow saving to say a thumbdrive or external HD..android 7 fixed this problem
Android 6.0 allows you to convert external storage to internal

Now when i am trying to set up the whole thing, i am getting this Network Connection error. It reads” could not retrieve directory information. This could be because of network not being connected”. When i check Network under settings, it shows connected. I have double checked the name of the addon, its spelled right. What could be the problem? Would you pl help. its A new box. Thanks

I just watched your titanium you tube, very nice. My question… I have KODI 17.1 not 17.3, can I download to that without issue? I already have specto and exodus on my KODI and it appears by downloading I would have duplicates? problems with that? Thanks
yes u can download titanium in kodi 17.x but i recomment you upgrade soon as well
dont worry addons wont duplicate if you downnload them again or a build update them
Earlier today i installed kodi 17.3, worked fine, then i installed titanium build 2., worked fine, watched couple movies. Then exited out, went back into kodi now husham add on wizard stays at add on migration process please wait it has been over an hour now, tried restarting firestick and did the same thing for anotger hour please help thank you.
husham addon wizard?
not sure what you mean that wizard has been offline for over a year so no idea where you got that from
in any case. you need to open your firestick menu
apps
kodi
and clear data
and then install kodi again
I want to upgrade from Kodi 16 to Kodi 17.3 as you advise,but can I do this without losing IPVanish that I already have?
Also I have Wookie,will I need to uninstall this before upgrading?
yes you can
ola meu kodi nao esta conseguindo abrir o husham no repositor,oque faço
what error are you getting?
Dear Sir I installed zem tv latest zip file 6.7.0 most of the Pakistani channels do not work ,installed f4m tester makes no difference, tried to contact shanis but cannot find them anywhere, what can be done about this why bother upgrading if most of the channels do not work.
Do you know if their is an equivalent addon for kodi which actually works for Pakistani tv, would you be able to contact shanis?
Apks do not work as well as addons on my android box 7.
Thank you for your help. Naz.
Install this instead as ZEM is gone

I have upgraded to kodi 17.5 and I have lost all sound. I have the picture which is perfect. Any ideas, cheers John
Sorry to ask but have you pressed the volume up
If u still having issues then u need to press default on all your settings in kodi to revert to standard settings to be on the safe side

Dear Sir I decided to install 17.1 kodi recently because I have heard that the newer versions do not play all the addons and the addons I installed were working fine on 17.1 , until yesterday the addons disappeared and I reinstalled them but again they disappeared. Can you tell me why this is happening now when there has been no problems in recent times and which version should I install , I was using film on simple uk turklist and sports devil. Also all my settings changed to kodi default settings .Thank you Naz
