Skyworth Binge Android TV box

I've got a Marantz SR5012 receiver and enabling audio passthrough just results in a garbled mess. Works without issue on my Nvidia Shield.

I don’t know what the issue is on my setup. There is audio-passthrough, but it doesn’t work as expected. It is like the volume is turned down, tried everything, maxing out everything. It works as expected on the LG television's audio, but not with my connected 5.1 Samsung system's audio. I don’t have this experience with any other device I plug in.

I have only tested this on the above, will try another audio system when I have the time to do.

This is my setup currently i got ,an hdmi from my home theater system into the tv. then I got a 5port hdmi switch and in that switch i got my skyworth box and 2 ps4 and a dstv decoder, i enabled the audio passthrough on the tv box ,as they was a message that popped up saying do you want to enable it or not, its weird howcome im not experiencing issues with sound. What apps are you using on the tv box ?

Android TV itself will deactivate apps depending on available resources, but you can force stop and app from the Settings -> Apps menu.

Plex is a third party app, and we are unable to provide support for third party apps. You will need to contact the app makers directly. Sorry we can't be of more assistance, but please understand that providing support for all third party apps directly would be quite problematic. Where the issue is related to our box, we can certainly look at it.
 
Please check PMS. Seems I got a did unit. Third time unlucky. Keeps checking for update/update Google play services. ..

Please follow the instructions under "Stuck On Updating during Setup?" from here http://myskyworth.com/support/

Let us know if this resolves your problem. This is a Google issue that was not picked up before launch because it only affects a very small percentage of installs. It is resolved in the update, but the box needs to get passed this point to take the update.
 
@Skyworth Digital Support I wanted to know how do I go about putting the tv box never to sleep as I did turn everything off but it still goes to sleep, I want the tv box to stay on permanently

Apparently the Telkom Lit Box is officially Netflix certified now.

This means the Skyworth box could follow ?

According to that, Netflix Hailstorm – a program aiming at scaling the number of device officially supporting Netflix – we should see more and more TV box running Android TV with full Netflix support.
