However the Wetek Openelec / Play 1 box can sometimes be laggy and slow. There are clearly some improvements and fixes in the background. TL DR: It works!Įven though LibreElec 9.2.8 (with Kodi 18.9) is not the newest available version, it is still great to have this unofficial update available. I was unable to find the reason (or the related settings) yet. *4: The video player in the newer Kodi release seems to be missing the control buttons (stop, play, rewind, forward, etc) when a video is paused. Then the Keymap add-on was installed, to change button mappings (specifically for the Context Menu, Go to Favorites and the Mute button). First the 'Joystick support' was disabled (Add-ons -> Add-on browser -> My Add-ons -> Peripheral libraries -> Joystick support), as it could interfere with remote controls.

*3: Some remote control buttons needed to be (re-)configured.

Not sure if this is related to the updated LE version or a problem in the tuner settings. *2: Some TV channels appeared to have lagging issues after a few seconds. I was required to create a user in the user interface () and use this user credentials in the TVHeadend HTSP Client add-on configuration. *1: After the initial TVHeadend setup (wizard), the TVHeadend HTSP Client add-on was unable to connect to the TVHeadend server (access denied). Changing skins (tested with Amber and Confluence skins).Install an (official) add-on (Keymap Editor).Build local media library (TV Shows + Movies).Access SMB share in local network and use as source.Network access using wired connection, both with DHCP and static address.But this also allows to do a thorough test of the LibreElec fork. are gone (not really gone, as they are still on the internal NAND memory, just not on the SD card). Testing LibreElec 9.2.8 on the Wetek PlayĪs I decided to go with a 'clean' and new OpenElec, obviously previous configurations, playlists, add-ons, etc. Note: The instructions from dtech mention the 'toothpick' method in order to boot from the SD card, but that was not necessary in my case. After the data was written on the microSD card, the card was inserted into the Wetek device (on the right side there's a microSD slot) and the device booted from the SD card.
