Gerry sometimes maybe openelec addons server is unaccessible, i tryed now to uninstall and install and it works just force check for updates and check if you have internet connection at wetek play or maybe is dns issue and cant resolve hostname.
To check if is dns issue try connect by ssh to wetek play and do command:
ping google.com
Wow thanks scooterbuk for sharing this
Wqtching right now Premier League :D in configure section of addon you can setup quality, i choose 3.3 mbit
Well for me most important there is oscam for android and openelec, normal one with full functioning all parts, and neat feature of tvheadend is sly epg grabber and freesat/freeview epg grabber with series link feature
Thank you, i will try to find also some samples
Wow thanks mate :14_002:
scooterbook can you record file on wetek play so i can try to play at mine. I tested ac3 and aac it was working.
Try ota update at lates v1.1.2 wetek os
dekelster I use dns service unlocator.com and no need vpn :D
They offer 7 days free trial, register, update IP st their web control panel and in WeTek Play under Android or OpenELEC set DNS to 185.37.37.37 and 185.37.37.185 that's all
Forgot to add, this way I use Hulu too :D
Android + OpenELEC = BBC Player, Sly Go, Netflix or any streaming app at Android, while on OpenELEC Pulsar, Navi X, Genesis, NBC Sports Extra etc.
Both Android and OpenELEC support DVB, today I saw even ubuntu can be installed, small PC with tuner for 99 eur
Eventually more play some games, use wetek play as miracast so you can share screen of your phone to TV over wetek
Well is quite different and more powerful in sense of CPU speed, DDR memory etc
Just found on official forum:
WeControl
Your WeTek Play remote control unit is far away from your sofa? Do you want to control your TV from your Android device? No problem, if you are with your Android Smart phone or Android Tablet, from now on you can can control your WeTek Play with WeControl application.
WeControl application is a smart substitution for standard physical WeTek Air-mouse remote control unit. It also supports any function directly at Android Smart phone or Android Tablet.
Enjoy the powerful of this remote control unit inside your android device
Found new one at 4pda russian forum
with all of those tutorials done by forum member sniffer i think nothing can't be hard, he make detailed tutorials and even myself used them when he was posting on another forum. Also for official software WeTek OS android there are many videos done by them explaining each part in video
Personally I would say go for a Vu+ receiver but you wont get one capable of running XBMC / KODI for less than £170, the watek I have no experience with but I very much doubt the satellite side would be in any where comparable with a proper Enigma2 based receiver and that would be the part that would let the side down for me.
For me DVB work perfectly at Wetek Play with OpenELEC but also with Android WeTek Theater. By the way there is in progress Enigma 2 for Wetek play so no doubt.
Wetek use ARM processor, VU+ use MIPS processor, and Wetek have dedicated 3D GPU Mali-400 which is dual core GPU, and 1.5 GHz dual core CPU with Hardware acceleration for audio and video decoding. So at all Wetek Play as HW is more powerful than even any broadcom dual core mips processor.
WeTek Play CPU: 1.5 GHz Dual Core ARM
WeTek Play GPU: Dual Core Mali-400 GPU
DDR 3: 1 GB DDR 3 1333 MHz
If you want complete device for DVB, Multimedia and to serve to you as Mini PC go for Wetek, you will be happy. And of course you will spare 2xx pounds/euros in your pocket.
Take a look about zapping speed at WeTek Play:

is there a cable & sat combo, and how do you update channel list and EPG ?
I think there is no combo, only twin satellite tuner or hybrid tuner which have dvb-c/t/t2. If need combo good option is dvb-s2 tuner + some cheap usb dvb-t with support in Linux kernel.
Here you can see linixtv supported devices directly in kernel, just plug it and go
Sure, go with VDR, or wetek theater
Hi markeh,
You will not make mistake especially as you get many functionalities in one device.
1. Yes it works. In OpenELEC you can download OSCam. Also for android there is oscam.On OpenELEC i use my subscription official to watch tv as i connect my smargo reader.
2. Netflix works, and i think wetek is only of few android players on market to support netflix hd playback, probably because is Google GMS certified.
3. In tvheadend you have Sly EPG grabber and many xml epg options.
4.yes it works in both, android, openelec (vdr, tvheadend)
Hi tonygrenall,
You need go to tvheadend web interface and there you will see Play link near channel name, copy source URL and then play URL at PS3 or Xbox if it is possible to play URL at them.
I LOVE your tutorials.
Thank You sniffer
