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

[Ecco]

Anybody using anything to remotely control the box from another phone or pc?

 

[Ecco]

So i finally managed to buy a lit box.

I have installed Kodi and want to use to play content from my USB - i cannot see the drive when adding source. I can see the drive in the file manager and browse the folders and find a file to play - but adding a source and updating my library does not work. Any suggestions how to resolve?

Bumping for some assistance with the above issue

Anyone tried the IR extension ? Successful ?

What are your guys suggestions for a replacement remote. The included remote on the A11 is proving to be frustrating to use to type and navigate. And I dont really want to use my phone

Never casted before - so I tried to cast from Google Home, which sees the LIT box ( shows screensaver ), but when trying to cast - get failed to connect message.

What am I doing wrong please.

Here's the most justifiable reason why the Box doesn't have Netflix - https://mybroadband.co.za/news/cell...-removed-netflix-from-lits-video-service.html

There's just a backlog of device so the Lit Box has to wait in-line for testing to take place.
So Netflix will eventually come.

Basically NetFlix, do not think we are worth the effort ...

If they did, the LIT box would jump the queue fast.

Depends on who they're jumping ahead of.

I suppose at the end of the day it's a fragmentation issue.

NetFlix being anal ...

Any Android TV box, that can do 4k streaming should qualify, for HD streaming at least, they can quibble over 4k ... , if they want

Anal about the quality of their product? Awesome news. They day they stop caring about the quality of their streaming is the day they become just like that giant turd-burger we call showmax.

Not about quality, about control , quality is just the excuse .... , smoke screen to cover that.
