2. First boot & initial setup of OpenELEC

After you successfully installed OpenELEC to your microSD or NAND Flash of WeTek Play, now is time to go through first boot and wizard of OpenELEC, which is shown on first boot after installation of OpenELEC. In Welcome Wizard of OpenELEC you can setup some very nice things like Language, Hostname of your WeTek Play device, Network settings and some network services such as SSH and Samba. Here we will focus on two things, setup of Hostname, other by other words said, how your WeTek Play with OpenELEC will be visible on your local network, and on enabling SSH service for easy remote access and management.

1. On first boot screen You can choose Language, but assuming that this tutorial is in English, we will press OK or Enter if you use keyboard, to go to next step.

2. On this step we can change Hostname of our WeTek Play

Now move with RCU or Keyboard to upper field and press OK, after what you will be offered to edit current hostname which is OpenELEC. In our case we added -WeTek , so finally it looks like OpenELEC-WeTek.

When you are done with editing please click or press enter on Done buttont to close editor, and then you will see in Hostname: field new hostname is OpenELEC-WeTek.

Now click on Next or press enter if you are using Keyboard connected to WeTek Play. Next part is Networking, and if WeTek is connected by Ethernet cable to your router, it should have IP address which is automatically assigned by DHCP server. NOTE: Default username and password for SSH at OpenELEC is: username root password openelec

After clicking on Next, you will be transfered to next screen, where by default is turned on SAMBA service, but for easy access and management, we need also to turn on or to enable SSH.

Move by RCU or keyboard to SSH field, and press OK, and then wait that SSH service is turned ON. In mean time while WeTek Play is turning on SSH service, in bottom right corner you will see Working… and you need wait it to finish.

After SSH service is turned on, you can move back to Next button and to proceed to final step of Welcome Wizard, after this your WeTek Play with OpenELEC is ready to be used. Depend if you bought WeTek Play with DVB Tuner option or not, you can proceed to next chapter of setting up Live TV, where for DVB is used TVHeadend and VDR, while for IPTV is used IPTV Simple Client.

3. Live TV at OpenELEC with WeTek Play To be able to watch Live TV from DVB Tuner at your WeTek Play, you need to install one of Live TV backends. At OpenELEC, there are 2 live tv backends available, TVHeadend and VDR. For those people who bought WeTek Play without Tuner, they can use IPTV Simple Client to watch their IPTV channels.

● TVHeadend (DVB) with OSCam ● VDR (DVB) with OSCam ● IPTV Simple Client (IPTV)

TVHeadend setup on WeTek Play with OpenELEC To install TVHeadend and OSCam in OpenELEC, you can follow this video guide at this URL VIDEO TUTORIAL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAcSpmIz8xQ If you prefer, here is a step by step tutorial: This tutorial, is how you setup TVHeadend and OSCam if you need it on your WeTek Play.

In here, we have to install Unofficial OpenELEC (WeTek_Play/arm) Add-ons, press OK on your WeTek RCU

Select OK on install to install it

Here, we need to check for updates. Note: Sometimes WeTek reboots at this point, if it does, just go to system - add-ons and again, press OK at "check for updates".

Now, let's select tvheadend

Then we need to go to configure to setup OSCam to start with each reboot automatically.

Enable option Restart on suspend / resume

Enabled Restart on suspend/resume, then select OK on bottom

Now please reboot WeTek Play, so we can continue to step of how to scan channels with tvheadend and how to enable OSCam. After you finished installation of tvheadend and OSCam, you need to know two things: tvheadend is running at WeTek Play IP address on port 9981 , while OSCam is running on port 8888 , and username and password for OSCam is:

Username: oscam Password: oscam So if we assume that IP of WeTek Play for example is 192.168.1.135, to access TVHeadend we will type in web browser: http://192.168.1.135:9981 to access OSCam web interface we will type in browser: http://192.168.1.135:8888 Now to scan channels with tvheadend, open tvheadend web interface in web browser: http://IP-Address:9981 Click on Configuration (see photo below)

Now click on DVB Inputs (see photo below)

Click on Networks tab (see photo below)

Click on Add (see photo below)

Depending on that what type of DVB tuner you have, choose type of Network to be added, and for example we will add DVB-C network.

Now click on Muxes to add at least one frequency for created network (see photo below)

Click now on Add (see photo below)

Now in new dialog, select your created Network and enter frequency (see photo below), note that tvheadend is asking that frequency is in entered in hz (hertz), so if we want to add 602 MHz frequency we need to put 602000000 , for Delivery system in case of DVB-C in Europe we need select DVBC/ANNEX_A.

And then click on create. Now go back to TV adapters tab, select DVB-C adapter, enable it, and select Cable network which you created in previous steps, and then click on Save (see photo below).

After this is done, connect to WeTek Play by SSH, and execute this command: killall tvheadend After this tvheadend will reboot and will immediately start scanning channels. If you click now on Muxes, you will see that all other frequencies are discovered by NIT, and they are scanned.

Now after scan is done of all frequencies we need to Map channels, and we can do that simply by clicking on Services tab (see photo below)

In opened pop-up select all like on photo below

After this is done, all channels are mapped, and finally we only need to add OSCam in tvheadend. To add OSCam, you need to click on CAs tab in tvheadend (see photo below)

Now click on Add (see photo below)

In new pop-up select CAPMT (Linux DVBAPI) (see photo below)

After you selected CAPMT, you will be offered to Enable client, but also to select which version of OSCam you will be using, and in our case you need to select OSCam pc-nodmx (rev >= 9756) , for port enter only 0 (see photo below) Enabled: check checkbox Client name: OSCam Mode: OSCam pc-nodmx (rev >= 9756) Port: 0 Click on create

Now, after clicking on Create, you need also to click on Save button (see photo below)
