Help for the Lumen·TV IPTV player: messages, settings, fixes.
Lumen·TV is an IPTV player for Android TV, Google TV, Fire TV and Android phones and tablets. When something goes wrong it says what in one sentence, and these pages take each of those sentences in the app's own words — a playlist that will not load, a guide with nothing in it, a channel that stops, a TV still locked — with why it happens and what fixes it, and the exact settings behind it. Each one says what the app does today, and says so plainly where it does not do something.
The app includes no channels. It plays the M3U playlist or Xtream Codes subscription you get from your own provider — one that holds the rights to what it sends.
