The problem is that I cannot get it to work with Kodi like that. In short, this works well for the default FireTV apps and lets you use ProjectM with any given player as it seems to be designed for in its stand-alone version.
The visuals will start and the music will play just fine and evne the artist/song information will show over top of the visuals when the song changes. If you start a FireTV official App music player (like Amazon's own player or Pandora), they play in the background and you can start ProjectM from either the System/Manage Applications Menu or something like a secondary startup menu like Firestarter (easily installed without rooting via adbFire). This will sideload onto FireTV just fine, although I don't think the preference pane works at all and the controls seem to be made for a touch-based product like a phone, but at least the default random display runs OK. What I found though is that there is an Android APK version on Google Play (other sites host the APK directly to install on other systems with a slightly crippled version). I've had to resort to a photo screensaver plugin to make it even usable for my plasma based display (so as to not burn in and show something to look at while music plays). In fact, there are only two visualizers in 15.2 Isengard (waveform and opengl spectrum).
I was disappointed to find that ProjectM is not in XBMC/Kodi for ARM. I recently bought a couple of FireTV Sticks from Amazon (only ARM/Android based player at the moment that has both an Amazon Prime player and supports Kodi side-loaded).
