Telkom LIT

[Nuttreed]

Does anybody know how to connect one's cell phone to the Telkom LIT so that one can obtain data such as subtitles off the cellphone and use them on the LIT when using it as a media player?

Can't you get the result you want by casting video from your cell phone to the LIT box?

Because fibre is not available here, I am using Rain uncapped data for my LTE router which means I don't have data between 6pm and 11pm. I am downloading subtitles using my cell phone. I want to copy the subtitle file from my phone to the LIT so I can watch movies downloaded previously using Kodi as a media player on my LIT (very complicated)

So you want to integrate the subtitles file into the movie folder?

Yes but I have the .srt file on my phone

Yes but I have the .srt file on my phone

I have tried connecting the phone to the LIT using a USB cord but the LIT doesn't see the phone.

Put the .srt file on a USB stick, insert in LIT box.

Enable tethering on your phone via WiFi, connect lit box, then download from within Kodi.

Is there any way to copy the .srt file from my cell phone to a USB stick?

 

[riscbroker]

You have access to a PC/laptop?

Lit box doesn't seem to see my phone when I enable tethering

I have an OTG adapter but I am only able to copy files from USB to phone and not from phone to USB

You could try emailing the file as an attachment - open Puffin browser or suchlike on the LIT box and see if you can use ES File Explorer or another file manager to get the file off your email

Or can you use Bluetooth to transfer the file?

Send Files to TV app on both the Lit and Android device (Play Store).

From the sending device, use the share button and select Send Files to TV. Can't get any easier.

Edit: No configuration needed.
Edit2: the app must be open on receiving device

Thanks for the above however, LIT doesn't seem to see the cell phones. I tried my Galaxy s50 and a Huawei

All devices connected to the same router (Wifi/Lan).

Phone is sending to the Lit (I did not try sending from Lit to phone). On the Lit, is the app open onscreen and awaiting?

The Lit don't have to see the phone. When Send files to TV is open a server is running ready to receive files.

On the phone select file, share and the choose Send file to TV. Then select the Lit.
