With the play 2 out now I reckon any chance of new drivers for the play 1 has gone mate. Wetek dropped the play 1 the second the play 2 appeared, looking at the issues with the play 2 on the wetek forum it seems to be a buggy piece of sh**e with useless drivers already. As the E2 developers seemed to have got sod all help from wetek or amlogic on the play 1 what incentive is there to develop for the play 2 when any mention of E2 on the wetek forum gets the response that wetek was designed for android and not E2 which is experimental. Designed for android my arse, wetek tv app is horrendous, overly awkward to get a channel list in the right order, epg probably a downgrade from a £30 openbox, lipsync issues. Issues with Netflix and other apps, Wetek had a good idea and are ruining it by sticking with Amlogic and their useless driver support. If their android tv side was usable in the modern day eg seven day epg, app similar to autobouquets and the like then there probably would not be so much demand for E2.

Agree with all of that!!

Why carry on supporting amlogic if the support has been so shite previously, madness, or is it a smokescreen?

I could never expect my family to get there head round using WeTV or Tv Headend or anything else, you have to be half geeky at least, and then its a compromise on what they are used to, so it will never replace an E2 box.

Seems to be mad, nice cheap, small, fast box for all the sat/cable/tv market, with the benefit of Kodi. They could clean up the market, why make kodi the priority (plenty of that already), they need there heads checked!!

I think as they are authorised Kodi supporters, they are forced to ignore the huge market potential of a E2/Kodi 4K box, pretty sure some Chinese firm will capture it. Shame as Wetek are a good brand.....

I hope they do get an E2 image, I bought a Play 2 last week and just can't stand using WeTV.

It is like a step back in to the 80's compared to E2 on the original Play 1, currently using Mnigma and just can't fault it. My friend is after a box, so I thought I would upgrade to a Play 2, and pass the Play 1 on, but will have to wait.....

Wetek are recommending you buy a VU if you want E2 and 4k!

One more thing you need to do is give the VU a static IP address on your network: reserve the address on your router, and turn off DHCP in network settings on the VU.

That way, if your router or VU is restarted, the VU will always have the same IP which have previously used for port forwarding.

This is the inadyn.conf file, it may be easier to edit it and then ftp it to your box, think it's in the etc folder.

**** will be your details

To stream, look at the transcoding setting in the webif setup, there will be a port number, simply add the port number to the port forwarding rules for the IP of the VU in your router settings. My transcoding port for streaming is 8002, so you will need both port 80 (WebIF), and port 8002 (TS Stream) to view a channel. You can mess around with the transcoding settings to adjust the quality of the stream depending on upload and download speeds. You have to use an external application to open the stream, and I use VLC. You can try it locally before doing it through the web.

Its also worth setting up a password for the WebIF while your at it.

Opening port 80 will allow you to view the webif for setting up recordings.

To view a stream, turn on the channel that you want to stream using the WebIF, then click the last TV box with the white screen which then starts the transcoded stream (the blue TV is for streaming the full stream locally). You can also stream recordings through the WebIf the same way.

Other ports I use externally are 21 FTP, 23 Telnet, and I have set 3001 as the port for Oscam interface.

First thing you need to is get a Dynamic DNS, there are free ones available, try no-ip.com.

Then install inadyn plugin (it may be installed already under network settings), and enter the information for your Dynamic DNS from above (username, password, your no-ip web address).

Then find the local IP address of your VU box, then from that IP address, forward port 80 through your router
