  • WeTek Core 4K First Setup

    Quote from digi247

    Unless i am mistaken from the Wetek site specification sheet this model lacks 10 bit HEVC (H.265) support which is major as the Blu Ray UHD standard will be 10 Bit HEVC, thats probably why i invested in the Nvidia Shield TV 4K box its pretty much Future proof and has played every 4K file type i have thrown at it.


    I imagine the Wetek Core2 will not be far behind

    4k and 8-bit h265 it says yes core supported..

  • Tvheadend Helper - Use a USB tuner on your WeTek Core

    As very first thing let me tell you that this app requires root permissions, not to run Tvheadend itself but to load the required kernel drivers and set the correct permissions on the found dvb device(s) so refer to this thread for rooting the device.


    Start by flashing the zip file with the kernel drivers from recovery (stock should work but I have tested it only with CWM), once you are back to Android install the apk and run it, you will see this screen



    The gear icon in the top right corner will lead you to the settings panel



    Start Tvheadend by clicking the start button. If you have plugged in a not recognized tuner (or no tuner at all) you will be notified about that



    If it is supported, you will see something different



    This will require your intervention to help the app to load the correct frontend for the tuner plugged in. Just connect to your Core using FTP, go to /sdcard and open dmesg.txt
    In one of the last entries you will notice something like this:



    Now go back to the FTP window and navigate to /system/lib/modules/kernel/drivers/media and search for the symbol not found (without the _attach() part obviously), you will find the required frontend:



    Go back to the box and from Tvheadend Helper settings panel select "Custom modules" and add the name of that driver like this:



    IMPORTANT remember to put a ";" after each driver you have to load.


    Now go back to the main window and try to start Tvheadend again, if that was the only frontend needed you will see the message telling you it has started correctly



    And you will be able to access to the web interface and set it up like on one of the many tutorials you find in OpenELEC section



    If it gives you the same message as before it means that you have another frontend (or a firmware) to load, in case just do the same steps and when adding the new driver to "Custom modules" settings do it like this: "dib7000p;new_driver_1;new_driver_2;etc;" (separate them with the ";" and put it also on the last one).
    In case of a missing firmware you will see a slightly different message, but it's pretty self-explanatory, just search on google the name of the missing firmware as reported by dmesg.txt and copy it to /system/vendor/firmware (you can help yourself with a root capable file manager as requires system to be mounted rw).


    This is another very important thing: if you have to unplug your USB tuner, do it from recovery or you will risk a kernel panic.


    A list of the supported tuners (their vendor ids and product ids) can be found here, for example

    Code
    alias usb:v10B8p1E6Ed*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* dvb_usb_dib0700


    has vendor id 10B8 and product id 1E6E


    if you need to specify some particular module parameter for the drivers that are being loaded you can add them to /system/etc/modprobe.conf file. For example the Hauppauge Nova-T Stick you are seeing in this screenshot will require

    Code
    options dvb_usb_dib0700 force_lna_activation=1


    to enable the amplifier or the signal will be crappy.


    DVB on Linux is not for everyone, on Android even less, that's why such devices come with predefined tuners ;)
    This is mostly something for people that wanna get their hands dirty and possibly learn something new.
    LinuxTV wiki has all the required infos about DVB on Linux.

  • How to Root your WeTek Core

    As first thing let me tell you that some DRM apps will bother you if they detect that your device is rooted, that's the reason why it doesn't come rooted out of the box since we invested much time in having a great DRM support, anyway if you need root permissions for apps (remember that if you only need a root shell you can telnet to the ip or use adb over network that is enabled by default), follow these steps.

    • Download CWM, unrar it and copy its recovery.img file to the root (main folder) of a FAT/FAT32 formatted MicroSD card
    • Download SuperSU from Chainfire's website and copy the zip (don't unzip it) to the same folder where you have copied the recovery.img above
    • Insert this MicroSD card in the WeTek Core and reboot to recovery by long pressing power button -> reboot -> recovery
    • Once booted to CWM select: install zip -> choose zip from /sdcard -> and select the SuperSU zip
    • When it's done you can reboot, just remember in case of an OTA update to remove CWM's recovery.img from the MicroSD card or it won't install the update


    After re-rooting would be required after a full Firmware reflash...

    Windows users:
    To install, unzip the provided archive and use a tool, such as Win32DiskImager ( http://sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager/) to create a bootable SD-card. Turn off your WeTek Core, insert the SD-card, turn on the box again and enjoy OpenELEC. If you want to boot Android, just turn off the box, eject SD-card, turn on the box again, and you'll see Android booting.
