RE: WeTek Core (24p HD Netflix / Android Lollipop / OpenELEC / 4K) - wrxtasy - 2015-11-09 @ Koying... From my Mini review on Page #1: Quote:Codecs I'm having trouble decoding in Kodi: RE: WeTek Core (24p HD Netflix / Android Lollipop / OpenELEC / 4K) - dave77 - 2015-11-09 Is this box available yet, the website just says coming soon? https://wetek.com/product/wetek-core I need a box that plays Netflix, Amazon Prime (UK), BBC iPlayer (UK) and Kodi. I don't need HD sound as it's just for a small TV. Will this do the job? RE: WeTek Core (24p HD Netflix / Android Lollipop / OpenELEC / 4K) - ChristianTroy - 2015-11-09 Netflix and Amazon Prime (the german version if I'm not mistaken, but shouldn't matter which region it is) have been tested and working. Can't answer about iPlayer because I have no way to try it here in Italy. Kodi works good as it usually does on Amlogic devices. The box should start selling very soon, we have worked on some last minute improvements/fixes so the boxes that have to be sold need a firmware re-flash RE: WeTek Core (24p HD Netflix / Android Lollipop / OpenELEC / 4K) - clarkss12 - 2015-11-09 (2015-11-09, 09:39)ChristianTroy Wrote: Welcome guys, I signed up here as well.

RE: WeTek Core (24p HD Netflix / Android Lollipop / OpenELEC / 4K) - teki4u - 2015-11-09 Is any tester using an isdb-t/isdb-tb tuner or will there be support for it? That market has been forgotten RE: WeTek Core (24p HD Netflix / Android Lollipop / OpenELEC / 4K) - ChristianTroy - 2015-11-09 (2015-11-09, 20:43)dave77 Wrote: Thanks, has the UK price been decided yet?

The Core is sold as media player only, with no tuner. Anyway running the officially supported OE or using the Android app and kernel drivers I will post when the device has been released you can use a USB tuner. OE uses the kernel drivers present in 3.10.X (should be .75 right now) while I decided to include those from the linux-media git repository (so some drivers are backported). Looking at http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/ISDB-T_USB_Devices you can see if yours is supported by 3.10 kernel (for OE) or looking in this file that contains the list of vendor id / product id (vXXXXpXXXX) for the drivers I have built edit: but I don't know if vdr or tvheadend supports isdb-t to be honest RE: WeTek Core (24p HD Netflix / Android Lollipop / OpenELEC / 4K) - tvdruenen - 2015-11-10 Will there also be Google Cast functionality? Just like the Nvidia Shield Android TV and the Razer Forge? Or do you have to flash an Android TV rom to get that functionality? If it's possible, and the HD audio passtrough will be fixed, it would be some really awesome device! RE: WeTek Core (24p HD Netflix / Android Lollipop / OpenELEC / 4K) - ChristianTroy - 2015-11-10 No, not even with Android TV because casting requires some keys from Google that are not given to any device but those android tv certified. Before that you could cast, but after few months G got pissed off and with an update of Play Services introduced this signing thing. The "Backdrop" screensaver is included though because it's nicer than the moving clock and was a feature request I got from many users. HD audio passtrough works using apps that use Android APIs, I'm speaking with Koying right now to see if Kodi can find a way to do the same, but such APIs are too high level for the way Kodi is designed. RE: WeTek Core (24p HD Netflix / Android Lollipop / OpenELEC / 4K) - wrxtasy - 2015-11-10 While we are on the subject of Audio what does the WeTek Core being DTS licensed allow ? RE: WeTek Core (24p HD Netflix / Android Lollipop / OpenELEC / 4K) - ChristianTroy - 2015-11-10 Using the PCM decoding from Android apps (like MX Player) for example. It's like being GMS certified, you can run Google Apps on any device but legally you can't if you're not certified. The same for DD/DTS certification, without that PCM decoding could be done, but would break the law.

It's like being GMS certified, you can run Google Apps on any device but legally you can't if you're not certified. The same for DD/DTS certification, without that PCM decoding could be done, but would break the law. Presumably this is to ensure that licenses are paid to ensure legality in some regions. Kodi and ffmpeg effectively offload this requirement to the end user - expecting us to be responsible and have the right licenses in place if we use the software. However if you sell a product with this functionality built in, you should be providing the licenses to the end user. It's the same as the Raspberry Pi foundation providing H264 encode/decode as standard (as they have licensed this codec) but requiring a small further payment for MPEG2/VC-1 support (which will fund the license costs for these) RE: WeTek Core (24p HD Netflix / Android Lollipop / OpenELEC / 4K) - wrxtasy - 2015-11-10 English simple explanations please. Even I cannot understand half of that, so DTS licensing is required is you are decoding to PCM, say by using MX Player ? What is GMS ? If that is the case, why even bother when AMLogic cannot output greater than 2.0 channels of PCM Audio ?

If you don't decode DTS to PCM 2.0 then you can't play content that has DTS audio on a normal TV that only accepts PCM 2.0 input? Base level HDMI audio compatibility is just PCM 2.0 - you can't assume any Dolby or DTS decode functionality. If you want to legally sell a device that has DTS to PCM 2.0 decode, then my understanding is that it needs to have a DTS licence? |
