If you want to install Kodi 17 - then this is the wrong thread to ask in. This thread is for KodiLite - which is a plugin to play (as well as possible) Kodi addons in enigma2 boxes where proper Kodi is not possible.
KodiLiteInstaller is a very small plugin which allows you to install KodiLite in usb or on external hdd. You then do not need to install KodiLite in flash memory. I hope this is clear. :)
As coder developer you're saying that KodiLite is only capable of plugins developed for full versions Kodi, but are tweaked for KodiLite?
The limitations of the Fire TV /Sticks out there certainly situations where a person can run out of internal storage memory and therefore dev's have made it possible to run apps on external storage.
Such is the status of enigma2 receivers. I wouldn't mind running "KodiHeavy" (17) with a build entirely on an external hdd.
Or at least learning how to make play (as well as possible) Kodi addons in enigma2 boxes on external storage.
Certainly you have ran low on disk space at one time or another and slapped in another hard drive in a pc to transfer files to and regain that space...
Yes? 8o
