Telkom LIT Android media box - Tips/Tricks/Apps thread

yeah for sure, the guy on the phone seemed like he was waiting for my call, by the time i got home from work they already pushed me the update to my device, haven't had a issue since
That is the case. If you phone and tell the team about your issue then they let each other know so the moment you are home they are all ready to assist you.
I sit opposite these guys in the office.
 
Have a strange issue with plex on this device.

Certain movies I get no audio coming through on the device.

Play the same title on plex on Smart TV, no issues with the audio.

No updates pending for plex on my lit box.

Anybody else noted similar behaviour?
If you would be prepared to send us more info we can test our side. I run a plex server and its no effort for us to grab a Lit to test and troubleshoot.

I have the same problem. I'm feeding the audio via optic to a 20 year old demon amp. There is also no sound if I feed the audio directly to the (oldish) TV via the HDMI link.

I suspect that Plex is not transcoding some of the newer audio formats because it thinks that the lit box can handle the sound, but the Denon amp and the TV can't.

Please let me know if you find a solution that works, without needing to identify and manually transcode the problematic videos.

The other day, I tried to play a video, from a Samba share, using VLC, on an nVidia Shield TV Pro. The video played fine, but there was no audio. Copied the video to a USB stick, put it in the Shield and it played in VLC, and audio worked.

Might point to a general Android issue, then might not.

For what it's worth - it seems to happen with files that have multichannel audio and not just normal stereo. Generally, the Plex add-on in Kodi can make those work, but not Plex itself. Those files work fine through the Apple TV version of Plex (but it is connected to a multichannel amp).

Does this happen when the Lit is connected to a multichannel amp or only when it has to downscale to stereo?
 
Any hardware difference in the 3 models A, B, C.. 2017, 2018, 2019....
 
Only the very 1st model doesn't have Bluetooth. So no Google voice usage on it directly unless you buy a USB remote or add Bluetooth using compatible USB.
Thanks, so then the A model I saw for sale will be a miss.
Needed to get another one at home
 
Any one know why my A06 will suddenly start going to sleep and has to be powered on by the button?

*EDIT*

And it started working as before i.e. not going to sleep, without any changes from me.

Sorry if this was asked before, I just bought a lit secondhand and it has a few problems

1. The Android version and security is way out of date. And when I try an upate it says it is up to date.

You must contact Nology. They will ask for your serial nr. and then push the update to the device if there is one.
 
Anyone have Netflix working on Litbox via ExpressVPN?
I'm using Windscribe and they have a notice when you try to enable vpn that connecting via ethernet causes issues, hasn't been for me as of lately.
