Unfortunately, that doesn’t help because mine also came from here and they don’t seem to have more pieces yet.
Although I contacted the distributor, I have not received a response so far. (I hope there is another one deep in the warehouse.)
Sorry, but I have no idea if the browser works, although I wouldn’t think of running a browser under Kodi.
I think browsers run better on Android than a media center OS. Hardware acceleration certainly doesn't work under LE on a browser.

Browsers are an x86_64 thing. Maybe one day Kodi adds this capability - it's been worked on but the code never made it beyond prototyping and if work ever resumes it will require the newer GBM/V4L2 graphics stack to run on.

Hello,
is it a known problem that the playback of HD audio (Dolby TrueHD/Atmos, DTS-HD/DTS-X) does not work? The passthrough for each format has been activated, but I hear only a creak on my K1 Pro.

Are you trying via HDMI or S/PDIF? Is the receiving device compatible with these formats?
Via HDMI the Dolby TrueHD/Atmos passthrough works for me without problems on my LG OLED TV, but I can't comment on DTS* because it doesn't support it.

Hello and thank you for your quick reply and your work.
Yes, the sound is output via HDMI to my Marantz receiver. I had previously installed another build and there it ran without problems. I even flashed back to my old system (the output of the HD sound like Atmos/DTS-X worked again) and then re-installed your image which again led to the fact that the HD sound formats no longer worked.
As I said, I only get a short loud creak. When I disable passtrough again, I get the sound in PCM format.
I also have an LG OLED (the C9 which supports DTS-HD as well as Atmos). I will test later if it works when I connect the K1 Pro box directly to the TV and pass the sound via eARC.

What does the "old system" really mean? (OS name, version and kernel version.)

I used "AlexElec 3.3.1" which is running Kodi 18.9-Leia and Kernal 3.14.
However, yesterday I also noticed that when I put Kodi 19.1 on the Android system of my K1 Pro, the HD audio formats (Atmos/DTS-X) also work.
This version here is the first that I have problems with the playback of HD sound, although the settings are identical (passthrough enabled and checked for all sound formats).

Okay, I retracted my previous statement because it doesn't work for me either. I will investigate this error.

Thank you very much.

Thank you very much.
In principle, I manage to fix the audio passthrough issue:
The TrueHD/Atmos works now, but please give it a try too, because I cannot test DTS-HD on my TV.

Hi dtech,
wow that was very fast!
Tested it and all 3D sound formats (DTS-X, Atmos, Auro 3D) work now.
Thank you very much for the quick solution and your effort

I wait a few days and if no further bugs come up, I will publish this image as a stable version (v9.2.8.2).
Thank you for the feedback.

This is actually a WeTek Play 1 device. Thank you, but I already have a WP1, and luckily it is flawless.
But I haven't found WeTek Core since.
-
That's a WeTek Play 1 (WeTek OpenELEC) box (8726MX chip) not a WeTek Core (S812). NB: dtech If you do find a Core for sale anywhere that takes PayPal we're happy to fund it.
-
Just for info. In German eBay kleinanzeigen there are 3 wetek core on sale at the moment. Between 50 and 60€.
If you really want or need one, I can play proxy for you.

I appreciate the help, suddenly I don’t even know what to say... Thank you.

This may interest me, but how do we do this "proxy" thing?
You buy the box to your own address, I (or we) make an electronic money transfer to you and you send it to Hungary to my address?
