WETEK Play/OPENELEC user discussion, tips n' tricks

Just noticed this now, thanks Dodzy for pointing at it.

Anyone using Xperience1080?

I haven't taken mine out of the Parcel Motel bags yet and was wondering if anyone is, how's it handling it.

I tried out a few skins last night,

Amber works well but the live TV was awful so cant use it.
Bello looked good but kept hanging
Aeon MQ 6 - too heavy
Aeon Nox a bit laggy moving through menus
Mimic worked well
Xperience1080 worked well

Filmon is having problems for the last few days, and as a result, any addons that use Filmon will have the same problems.
Is that what you had problems with?
They come and go, so you may have had that skin on while it was acting up.

IPTV Stalker are going to release a list soon. It will show up the resellers that were reselling Subs w/MAC addresses more than once.
i.e. - If you bought an IPTV-Stalker sub and never received a donation number, it's likely you were sold a fake sub, or that your MAC address was cloned elsewhere.
Any resellers that don't give people their donation number are more than likely doing something underhanded.
So far the people who are announcing that they will not be issuing donation numbers to the people who purchased from them, are exactly the same people that you should expect, and associated with the same people you should avoid.

Ideally it should weed out the dirt, but more than likely they'll continue as they have done, as long as people use their addons and listen to their cr*p.

If you have paid a for a sub. Make sure\Demand you get your donation number.

Just tried this out and when I start it up and it goes through the configuration screens when it gets the the network part it doesn't list any WiFi networks in the box, is there something wrong? I went on through the menus thinking I could configure the WiFi later, but couldn't find any setting for that..

Hi all .switched mine on today for the second time only .
And the screen locked up completely ,removed power and now when it starts i have no menus on the blue
screen .Have i a brick now ? Or do i TRY.... what ENFILADE did on Page 1

I have been looking at the wetek site and it seems the play is supposed to come with a quckstart guide, a membership card and an update nail, but I didn't get any of those, did anyone get those?

These are only available when you buy from Wetek , we bought from the openelec site was a cheaper buy without those extras

also there was some mention of a weCloud Antenna app. Is that preloaded? Is it just a plugin for Kodi?

you can load Wecloud from the openelec repo, think this is only if you have the membership card though ?

The website seems to suggest android is preloaded, but it's openElec instead of Android that's on my box from waht I can figure out.

Indeed openelec comes preloded but you can download the android image to sd card and run that

I wanted to try the satellite tuner, and from what I can make out I need to have tvheadend, is that preinstalled?

Tvheadend needs to be installed from the repo , both front and backend

sorry if these are stupid questions, first time I had a box like this.

None of us are hope that helped

Hiya.
Tvheadend is not preinstalled, but vdr is, and it will let you watch satellite channels once configured.

Those of us who've used openelec for a while are probably more used to tvheadend, and I at least was unable to get xvdr working on other devices in the house even though I could watch TV on the wetek box itself.

If you want to install tvheadend, you have to remove vdr first, or it won't be able to access the tuners properly.

If you want to try VDR, you might need to add the XVDR PVR client when you enable Live TV - I'm not sure if it was preinstalled, though I think it was.

To add channels to VDR, you first need to go to System, Settings and into TV.
Enable 'Live TV'.
I ended up going to the "Client Specific" menu, and opening a menu there for XVDR which allowed me to force a scan, but I think if I'd just left it for half an hour, it might have sorted it out itself!

Personally, I'm glad I switched over to tvheadend instead.
I just gave vdr a quick go in case there was a good reason they'd picked it for default.

The Wecloud Antenna isn't great. Unless you add yor own channels, and you can do that anyway.

I didn't give it more than 5 minutes, but all of the channels seemed Russian and Turkish.

Is anyone using the VU+ Plugin? Is there anyway was to store the channels locally so its not syncing all the time.

This option is on the VIPlus Kodi manual but its not sowing up for me

Folder for channeldata: Retrieving the channel data from the backend can take quite long. To avoid that the user has to wait a long time before the addon starts it stores the information about the available channels in a separate XML file. Instead of quering the backend the addon then tries to load the channels from this XML file during addon startup. This property defines into which directory this XML file will be put. The filename is "channeldata.xml". Also, the last played position of the recordings will be saved into this directory, so that the user can resume the playback of a previously stopped recording. The recording data is stored into the file "recordings.xml".

Top Tip.

Don't allow nosey brothers into your house when you're not there.
He saw the two wetek and is pretty confident one is for him

I'm guessing by your sad face, one is now

Yep, but meant I had to get each sister one too, as they had asked me to sort them out a while ago, but I limited my spending to €40 max each........

Had to buy 3 more (Thank God for SantAquos ) one to replace the original and two for the sisters..
I know I wouldn;t have been forgiven if I had given him that, and given them the books or vouchers I had intended..

How long should that sat scan on the tvheadend config take?

It takes about 15 min give or take you should be getting over 700 channels )most are duplicate regional)
