Wetek play - how to upgrade to libreelec

1st Official Post

    Hello

    I haven't used my Wetek Play for a while and tried XMBC (13.2) which I liked more. I was thinking about installing openelec directly on to nand, but after reading about libreelec - I'd like to use it instead.

    Though I'm not sure how to install libreelec directly on to nand, and which files to use.

    Thanks for any help

    Yes, I know how to install openelec on nand.
    Though I'm not sure which set of files to use for LE - on the download page there are 3 possible sets?

    Just to add, for example, do I first install openelec on nand, and then use the LE Manual Update from OpenELEC (.tar) files?

    Or should I simply use New Install to WeTek internal NAND (.zip)? - Is it the same process as installing openelec to nand, because the set of files look quite different to openelec? I know someone else who tried this & they said it bricked their wetek play

    thanks

    Use the .tar file to upgrade if you have OpenELEC already installed.

    Use the .zip file to do a fresh NAND flash.

    Thanks @Irusak

    For the zip nand flash, are there any initial menu choices to make (e.g. does it go into something like recovery?), or is the whole thing automatic?

    Ok, I tried the zip nand flash, it goes into recovery - should it?
    I chose Install from EXT, but it can't find any package on the SD.

    Am I missing some steps?
