I think someone should add this info to WIKI of FireTV posts in the future. I probably wouldn't buy it if I knew this is just a 32-bit OS running on 64-bit hardware.

Yes, you are right, I didn't read it correctly earlier. Now that we have this clarity, maybe add this info to that page?

The wiki is correct. It states that the Gen 3 Fire TV CPU is 64-bit (which it is). It does not say what bit the operating system is on any of the models in that list. In this case Amazon chose to...

I think THIS answers it. Turns out the Gen 3 Fire TV has 64-bit hardware (the CPU) being run by a 32-bit operating system!

Ah! Gotcha, you should be able to run the 64-bit Kodi on it. Not sure why it isn't working for you. What version of Kodi are you trying to run?

That makes sense because the 2nd gen Fire TV is 64-bit while the original Fire TV was 32-bit.

32-bit worked, but this is really weird for Fire TV. I don't have any issues to install 64-bit Kodi on my 2nd Gen Fire TV.

I would just roll with the 32-bit Kodi version. Honestly, I don't know of any improvements between the two. I'd go with what works.

It hadn’t worked for me too, last couple of times; mine is Fire TV gen 2. Kodi, 32bit works though without any issues. I will give a try again.

64-bit Kodi cannot be installed on any Fire TV "stick" because the sticks only have a 32-bit OS. You can install 64-bit Kodi on any Fire TV base unit (except the very first gen) and you can install...
