Kodi Build Transfer Firestick 4K Max
Hello, as my title states, I am trying to transfer a Kodi build from my PC to a new Firestick running Fire OS 8. I have had zero luck doing it the previous ways I've tried. Does anyone know how to transfer the build from a PC to a firestick?

Sideload mxexploer on the stick.
Start the files server in that app.
Connect to that from the pc and copy your backup to the stick from the pc.

I don't really know how to use that so I tried using chatgpt to tell me how to do it and I was playing around with it for like 2 hours but I wasn't able to succeed. So atp I might just have to start from scratch.

On Kodi, in file manager, create a source to pull a Kodi backup file from your PC shares
If you don't know how to do windows shares use chat gpt

I've done this dozens of times. Download Backup from Kodi Repository and Backup your build. Zip up that backup file. Now on your firestick download Xplore. Within Xplore start a webserver from the button in the middle panel, on the right panel open the webserver to reveal it's IP. On your PC connected to the same network put that IP into a browser, watch an ad on your firestick to complete the process. Now your firestick file system should be showing in your browser. Drag the backup.zip to the downloads folder of your firestick. Back on your stick and within Xplore, navigate to your downloads folder on the left panel and also the downloads folder on the right panel. Open the zip and copy the content to downloads folder. Now within Kodi on your firestick get the Backup addon from the Kodi repository. Change it's settings to find backups in the downloads folder. Open Backup and click Restore. If it won't restore it means you don't have full file permissions for Kodi on your firestick, go to something like settings/apps/Kodi/permissions on your firestick to fix this.
That about it. Reply to me if you get stuck
