Lads giving pbnigma a go here but struggling to set up the epg and autobouquets

Any ideas?

Do I need to download these and put these on a USB stick?

How do I install that?

should be in download>plugins, configure to load on pen drive not internal flash.

Can I download this from my PC to a USB stick and load it that way?

stanley1

the one in plugins should work, there are lots of versions, wrong one is immediate green screen, if you find the right one by all means install via usb stick or ftp and use temp folder, choose opentv as the EPG provider and click the sky UK option,green to save.

Not mad on pbnigma so back having another go at openatv.

Is there an idiots guide to setting this up anywhere?

I have channels scanned (930 of them) so I need to set up an epg and boutique and a good skin like sly.

I've been looking through all the usual forums but it be great if there were a simple guide somewhere?

Have a look at the wetek forum glen, all your questions have been answered there with links for the downloads.

You can load the ipks onto a USB of you prefer, or ftp them over to your temp folder and install them from there.

No harm to start again mate,only other advice is make sure to save as required in tvheadend,and rebooting the box can also help some things to show up/kick-in

Got it up and running (to a certain extent), have all the FTA channels, had to skip a bit of the tutorial about organising the channels as there were some settings that I did not seem to have the option of, and am hoping to try a few other setups anyway.

Have to figure out how to get the line into Oscam and up and running!

Are you using enigma2 or openelec?

I'm struggling to get oscam installed in openatv. Have the FTA channels and crossepg, autoboquets working now so need to get oscam going next.

You need to install the softcam feed

the necessary config files can then be found in usr/keys/oscam_emu

Openelec with TvHeadend (at the moment), am a bit lost as to where/how I should be transferring files, but am thinking I will be going a different route (Enigma or Openatv), so am not too bothered about getting everything going with TvHeadend and Oscam.

came across a few mentions of backups that you can put on them as well, so am assuming that they are (almost) all set up and working correctly, so might try that.

Anyone having issues with the selection on the remote flying through the screen options like the button is stuck?

I am getting this on the Wetek remote and my other keyboard/mouse remote..

stanley1

enigma2 really needs the wetek dedicated enigma2 remote.

Next problem is when i go to add-ons i cant load the unofficial oplec add-ons as my list is empty.
Have restored to default 4 times and rebooted 5 but still no joy.

Force reload of your addons should solve it.

You manage to get it updated to 6.0.1 ? That could be causing some of the issues. If the update is failing in the openelec settings where you can check for updates, download the update from the wetek site http://www.wetekforums.com/v/index.php?p=/discussion/26837/openelec-6-0-1-release-for-wetek-play-openelec do like in the video then once the file is on the box check for updates again and it should apply the update.

Learned a few nice things today, here is how you set kodi to record to external drives http://www.wetekforums.com/v/index.php?p=/discussion/26837/openelec-6-0-1-release-for-wetek-play-openelec

Also spotted in tvheadend on a browser when messing with settings in services if you click play it will download an M3U file and you can watch that channel on the pc with vlc player even while something else is being watched on the TV , might cut down on rows in some houses, I know Miss Enfilade is pleased with the new shortcuts that have magically appeared on the desktop of her laptop called BBC One , RTÉ One, etc :pac:

Oh that was for DVB-T might not work with S or C but worth trying non the less.

Yes Eamon but I want to run oscam on the android side like wetek theatre

Hi lads,

Was having a few issues with the box last night, superrepo was displaying empty and I couldn't seem to put anything onto the box. I completed a hard refresh.

Everything seemed OK then. When turned on this morning the screen was stuck on the kodi image which kept flashing.

Turned off and back on and now nothing happens. The big amber light and one small amber light constantly light but nothing is happening.

Any ideas?

A little update it's back to the kodi image v14.2-helix just flashing on the screen

Would I be right in guessing my only option is to manually install openelec?

Try the ostool apk for that.

Trevord

Hi folks,

I have the OpenElec model, but now have in running on Android and i'm finding issues with some Android apps?

Finding RTE Player android app producing lots of bumps and squeaks and crashing. Pretty much unusable. Anyone else experiencing that?
