Installed easily & is now 100% working. Was able to also move data folder over to external SD card also using adblink.

The xmbc_env.properties line I used was xbmc.data=/sdcard1/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files
I copied this file to the root of my FireTV
I installed KODI using ADB
I used the FireTV Manage Applications to move Kodi to external storage
I updated my library
-------
All the data ended up on the root drive (0)
I moved this .kodi data manually to /sdcard1/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files
Kodi started but with no library (which I interpret as it was still pointing to the now empty drive 0)
Anyone see the flaw in my procedures?
Thx

Some confusions and questions:
1. Should the path be “/storage/sdcard1/Android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files” or “/sdcard1/...” or “/mnt/sdcard2/...”?
2. Mounting is referred in some instructions but the sdcard is automatically mounted. So, do we have to mount again?
3. Es Explorer and other apps ask for permissions to folders and show the instructions to choose folder beforehand. Why cannot Kodi do that, so it would resolve these permissions once and for all?
Hope someone in Kodi Devs takes a note.
Thanks!

So much thanks to arickmcniel for the response. It led me to the right answer.
I'll share my 'lessons learned' for others who follow.
* Total Commander and ES File Explorer utilities do NOT give you the path you need. Use ADB as per the recommendations
* To find my path I needed to search in the directory mnt: ADB Shell ls -a /mnt/
* My secondary drive turned out to have the non-intuitive name of sdcard2
* So the one line in my xbmc_env.properties file became xbmc.data=/mnt/sdcard2/android/data/org.xbmc.kodi/files
* I moved all my files in org.xbmc.kodi/files from the FireTV storage to my secondary storage.
* This DID NOT WORK the first time, despite clearing cache, forcing stop etc. It DID WORK after I changed the path in xbmc_env.properties to an incorrect path, and then changed it back.
* If you're unfamiliar with ADB, here's a good guide:
https://developer.amazon.com/docs/fire-t...evice.html
I freed up 2gb of storage on my firetv main storage.
Again special thanks to arickmcniel.

Anyway to make a more noob guide to follow? Looking forward to doing this for a long time!
