Will streams play for any of you with hardware acceleration turned off?

theduffer · 13-04-2016 04:54PM

Can anyone who has successfully got PBNigma + USB DVB-t adapter Realtek RTL2832U&R820T (or any other) working let me know what driver you installed, as Im struggling to get this going, the scanning fails when in service searching when I try..

Thanks!

Has anyone had any joy using VU+ HD player on android phone or tablet?

Apparently you can watch channels from your box over your 3G/4G network remotely. So far I've downloaded the app but not have been able to connect to the box using PBNigma image.

have a look at my guide for some android apps that users have reported as working correctly, if you want to view over 3g/4g you will need to enable portforwarding on your router and configure the client app on phone/tablet to use the external network IP address rather than the internal one (eg 192.168.1.111)

If port forwarding I would restrict the IPs that can access your network as Enigma has little to no security built into it. This wouldn't work too well when using 3G/4G as the IP changes about every 5min. Another option to set restrictions would be to enable http streaming from the Wetek. I think there is a setting to require authentication over http.

Also instead of having to remember your external/public IP you could use a dynamic DNS. NOIP is one such free provider.

A player that I have been using with the Wetek is OTTplayer. It is available on many platforms such as Samsung TVs and I find the streaming via the LAN to be excellent. I have not setup or tried external streaming. As the Wetek has 2 tuners it is essentially multiroom.
It is definitely not the easiest to set up and many parts are in Russian but Chrome comes in useful here. Once up and running I find it to be excellent.

Thanks 2 points I had in my head but forgot to write up, Thanks for pointing them out

Anyone having problems with the dual boot option on the Wetek?

Installed the update last week and it worked grand for a few days but now it just boots straight to the nand (android) without the option of selecting sd card (PBnigma).

robbie67 · 15-04-2016 12:05PM

I had it was discussed earlier *1079 I eventually got mine back don,t use PBnigma now

Yes. Dual boot worked for a day or two but I haven't been able to get it to work since, despite using the patch that was brought out designed to fix it.

Others in the thread have reported that the patch resolved it.

bromley52 · 15-04-2016 04:24PM

Dual boot is still working for me.

bromley52 · 15-04-2016 11:40PM

I can now laugh at my previous post. As of about 2 hrs ago the Wetek will not boot into the Pbnigma image on the mSD card. It goes as far as the 1st screen with Wetek on it and then freezes. I can FTP and SSH into it but Pbnigma will not boot up.
I was trying out remote streaming at the time and then all of a sudden nothing. I am wondering if I pushed it too far.

Wetek play on the NAND works fine.

Does anyone have any experience of this or even a possible solution?

T-Bird · 16-04-2016 10:07AM

Are people having this boot problem on the openelec (Orange light) or the play (blue light)?

RossieMan · 16-04-2016 12:00PM

We all got the openelec version.

Guessed that was the case, just needed to clarify because of some of the problems.

I wonder if some of the dual boot problems are being caused by people flashing the wrong version of Android into their openelec? I have both devices. The Play will not auto boot from sd card and the open elec does.

Edit. Both devices are flashed with Android.

Hi Guys I got a new Wetek hybrid box today. Two questions I need some help on.

How do I set up to watch on a mobile device?

How do I set up USB? I plugged it in and pressed ok to record on it but it will not record for some reason.

Are you using tvheadend? If so you can stream to mobile device using TVHclient.

I reflashed openelec to nand in the end, having to hold power button to boot from SD was a joke unless the patch changed that? I was only booting to android once in a blue moon so made no sense for me to have to do that every time I switched the box on.

Annoying as there was nothing wrong with the old system of it booting from SD if the card was in :mad:

branners69 · 18-04-2016 03:11PM

Booted PBnigma today and the Kodi option is no longer available? I am assuming it uninstalled automatically as I didnt remove it!

So it looks like I might need to dual boot, so can I dual boot pbnigma and Openelec. Or can you only dual boot if you have android installed to Nand?

Edit:

OK so just found Kodi Direct? Never heard of it until I found it! It seems handy, I have Kodi addons running but I can still stream sat channels to other devices. Anyone else using it? Any advice?

WeTek @OpenELEC is now with 45% #discount until April 26th, using the coupon CW1604. bit.ly/openelecshop

Cancel, then re-order?

JohnK · 18-04-2016 11:18PM

Doesnt seem to be anywhere to cancel that I can see and I suspect they'd have it shipped before they get around to canceling anything sent via a support request

Well if it was me, I'd certainly be sending an email asking for the new price, given that it has dropped so much, and that yours hasn't even shipped yet..

The least they could do would be to throw you in an enigma (e2) remote control, if you planned going down that route..

JohnK · 18-04-2016 11:49PM

I've fired off an email, maybe something will come out of it but I'm not too optimistic.
