  • WeTek Play from now officially supported by OpenELEC Team

    Quote from stevejo

    They havent been wrong at all Ive had an infrared temperature gun to test this it was not far out at all , Think its to remove a visible issue , eventually one day these chips will crack and fracture with the heating and cooling /expanding and contracting running at these heat levels ,I would not expect to get 3 years out a wetek at all this is why I installed new heatsinks and fans in mine ,Ive been a service technician in the past for 10 years and its always been the case that sat and cable boxes when it was a fashion to have them in closed cabinets , developed the issue described at lower temperatures than wetek are running at hence they are sold at throw away prices

    Just my opinion


    What temperatures were you reading with your temperature gun?


    When I was running OpenELEC 5.0.8 the System Info page was reporting a temp of around 38 degrees C when the device was idle.
    This seems acceptable to me, unless of course that reading was in fact wildly in-accurate

    If you go to System Info -- Hardware, does it show the correct CPU Temperature?


    For me it is displaying a '?'


    I have reported the issue on the OpenELEC forum, but I thought I'd ask here as well to see if anyone else has noticed the same?



    It displayed the correct temperature under OpenELEC 5.0.8
    Upgrading to this latest beta release seems to have broken it

    OK it seems the temperature read outs have always been incorrect from the WeTek so the OpenELEC team decided to remove the read outs

  • ecm not found

    I don't think that it would as the HD ECM lengths have changed now. It is my understanding that OSCAM etc simply doesn't understand how to handle the new ECM lengths.



    SD ECMs haven't changed at all hence why they still currently work

    I got nice idea to use second one as tvheadend client to the first one where I have twin tuner connected so I linked inputs, and now wife is free to watch and me too :D


    Raspberry Pi would have been a cheaper option to use as a client ;)
    But can't blame you for wanting to buy more than one of these brilliant pieces of kit :)

  • Thinking of buying

    I've had mine a few weeks now.



    Took me maybe just over a week of fiddling to get it running absolutely sweet, part of this was down to me having to learn how TVHeadend works and even what some of the settings do within OpenELEC, and now it just works, have no trouble out of it what so ever



    It probably has got a bit of a way to go until it's as user friendly as the likes of a Vu but for me I have absolutely no regrets in switching over to it, I also switched over from a Vu Duo

  • NBC Sports Live Extra app

    I used the Unlocator DNS service over the weekend to watch a football game on the NBC SN Live Kodi Addon that wasn't being shown on any channels over here.
    Worked perfectly and in HD as well

    Hi


    I just ordered a Duo 2 from WOS should be here Tuesday.


    A little off topic but given that today is / was Sunday and tomorrow is a bank holiday, is the box definitely going to turn up on Tuesday?
    I only ask as I notice you mentioned in the shoutbox that you've taken the day off work on Tuesday to set the box up. Don't want you to have wasted a day's leave if it isn't going to turn up then, lol

    OK just loaded this on and did the same as I did on 5.0.6 but god the channel changing is slow ,I'm using tvheadend, will have to investigate further


    Try adding the following to your advancedsettings.xml file and then reboot your WeTek.

    Code
    <pvr>
 <minvideocachelevel>0</minvideocachelevel>
 <minaudiocachelevel>0</minaudiocachelevel>
 <maxvideocachelevel>0</maxvideocachelevel>
 <maxaudiocachelevel>0</maxaudiocachelevel>
 <cacheindvdplayer>false</cacheindvdplayer>
 </pvr>


    If you've not already got an advancedsettings.xml file then you can just create one in the following folder and add the above to it

    Code
    .kodi/userdata/
