LibreELEC 8 Test Builds Wetek Play

1st Official Post

    Because I did it and for those, who want to test the upcomming LibreELEC with Kodi 17 Krypton:
    Here you can find an actual test build of LibreELEC 8 for your Wetek Play.

    What's in it:

    The compressed image file für writing on sd card an boot from it. Image ist build from the current LibreELEC master without any changes yet.

    Good news:

    It works. You can use many addons including Sandmanns Amazon Prime Video addon (what was the reason for me to try it out).

    Bad news:

    It works with an exception: PVR works not as supposed. You will get a black screen while viewing live tv (and sometimes recordings too). So you cannot view live tv. If you disable hardware acceleration (amcodec) in Kodis player settings, all works as expected but of course the video is choppy. The cpu is not powerful enough to use software decoding. If someone has an idea what to do: Feel free to lead me to the right way!

    Regarding live TV, try this for now until the changes get into Kodi

    [Development build] New decoder for OpenELEC 8.0 build for WeTek Play - Page 5 - WeTek Community Forum

    And use this Tvheadend:
    [Development build] New decoder for OpenELEC 8.0 build for WeTek Play - Page 6 - WeTek Community Forum

    Don't expect to use LE/OE 8 as a daly driver for not, because some changes need to be pushed to master.
    If you find any major issues please post them here:

    Tried this version with VDR from official repo.
    On PVR channels I can't get the audio stream to work after switching to another channel. After switch to the "first" channel, audio is working again. I reported this bug already on the wetek forums. Unfortunately it is offline atm (atleast for me), so I can't provide a link to my post over there.

    Is this a known issue?

    Kodi Krypton contains a major reworking of video code and the Amlogic component is still "work in progress" so you can expect some issues - it's coming along but isn't as complete as the x86/Generic builds.

    Tried this build and it works pretty well considering this early stage however I cannot get the Amazon Prime add-on to work I'm getting error like the ones below any suggestions welcome everything else seems to work well however I do have my tvh backend on a raspberry pi
