A new update is out

They changed the user interface.

hmmm... thanks, Marvin!

is this any better than the previous UI? if one doesn't need this update, there's an option not to download/install the update on it's own, right?

Correct. You can opt not to update. :-) I've mixed feelings towards this UI. For me, the newer UI is nicer but more complex. You can also update to WeOS 2.0.1 and keep the old launcher. Instructions here http://wetekforums.com/v/index.php?p=/discussion/29366/weos-classic-launcher

Any reviews on Play 2?

Just sharing this guide i made on how to enable the nav bar for WeOS. Btw, this only works for v1.0.3 and below. Sad that they removed notification bar and nav bar for v2.0 and above. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4iixgynasgON3lQY3hZX2U2SHM/view?usp=sharing

Thanks, shoestrings. I agree. I like the notification bar. Maybe if we petition on the forum they will bring it back?

I have had my hub since mid Nov .. i had problems with sudden volume mute , cec control , and Netflix was never smooth for me ..

I tried 2.01 Rom via clean install ..that solved my sudden mute issues , but still I had cec control ( does not work) and Netflix ( pausing and jerky video , long freeze)

I tried a clean install also of 1.02 and the atv Rom . And it just would not work for me.

I almost gave up on this due to problems I had will Netflix , but the much nicer pq quality versus chrome cast kept me going.

Lastly I tried this android 6.0 build ... and I now I have very smooth Netflix and mostly working CEC control.. There are still issues like I get a blank screen on YouTube if I press the back buttom , instead of the home page of YouTube , but another press will bring me to home page of wetek , and I can enter back to you tube , a workaround that I can live with ... I use spmc (for media playback off my home server . ) As suggested by wrxtasy in the wetek forums so this is now my daily driver and works for my application , which is adding smart tv functions ( I was using a rpi for media playback. and a chromecast for hd Netflix ) to my Pioneer Kuro .

Just note that android 6.0 is still buggy . I have encountered a number of issues , e.g. Jumping subtitles , loosing cec control after changing tv inputs .others , but for my application this works .. I don't need atmos or hd audio at the moment .

Also great support from ehome , I got answers even though it was New Years day..

hello WeTek Hub users.. Happy New Year to all!

has anyone tried to connect a wired or wireless gamepad controller, (thru it's lone USB port) with this NMT? If yes, which brand have you bought? I'm thinking of installing Android game apps requiring a gamepad controller. TIA!

jambam · « **Reply #141 on:** Jan 09, 2017 at 03:20 PM »

I have tried and used about 5 different controllers 2 different air mouse, 2 different mini kyb connected via USB dongle and a Bluetooth vr controller.. All of them.work with the hub..

thanks, sir jambam! this is very good. would you please help to share the brands, models and where to get each of them? will choose 1 or a pair from any of these.

great help if they would have its own USB dongle to make them wireless -- hence helps ease usage as my li'l kids are loving Android games now

TIA!

there are the ones i tested
xbox 360 controller with usb wireless receiver works
ps3 DS3 controller works with wired usb connection (can also work with six axis controller app wirelessly bluetooth-needs root)
Kata game controller with dongle works (right thumbstick hardwired to mouse pointer) -kata stall php899
Kata game controller V2-works with bluetooth -kata stall php 1200

mhacman · « **Reply #145 on:** Jan 15, 2017 at 11:24 AM »

^ appreciated this much, sir!

I'll try to find this one: Kata game controller V2-works with bluetooth -kata stall php 1200

my Dualshock 4 (PS4) controller doesn't turn on with WeTek hence they cannot be paired with bluetooth.

you're welcome sir.
inorder to pair your DS4 controller via bluetooth you'll be needing an app called Sixaxis Controller. But you need root to make this work.
but the problem using Sixaxis Controller is that it will dedicated the bluetooth connection only for DS4/DS3 controller. So if you turn on the Sixaxis Controller app it will disconnect all your bluetooth devices to give way to your DS4/DS3 controller.

After much reading and research I took the plunge and opted to get a Wetek Hub earlier today.

I passed by eHome before going home and sir Marvin and his staff were very courteous and answered all my questions and even tested one to satisfy my requirements for complete compatibility for my collection of movies which I formerly used a Popcorn Hour C200 for.

The unit already came with Web OS 2.01 with the stable Android 5.1 base firmware with Wetek's compile of Kodi 16.

Normally with other china boxes I would be scrambling to find problems with certain features but with this one, all my needs were met right away without even tinkering yet.

What's really impressive is that when I delved into other forums like Librelec, Freaktab, Kodi is that Wetek is very active on support and continuing improvements to new AND their existing products.

So even though I know the hardware on this is a lot similar in cost to the no name china boxes, I am happily glad to pay extra to ensure the company continues the software development which isn't the case with most other cheap boxes where you scrounge all over the internet to find solutions to bugs either on firmware, kodi or other features one needs to have a reliable media player.

i have not tried personally wetek but knowing they support kodi development, you're sure getting a better product....

Yup, I believed they also sponsored OpenELEC and they're one of the diamond sponsors for Kodi. https://kodi.tv/xbmc-sponsor-page/
