You simple hold down the Remote control Power button during booting to Flip Flop between Android / LibreELEC.
Other Android LE devices are a bit more complicated - for example if you do not eject the SD card - on powerup (and Android Reboot) - you will always boot into LibreELEC.
Unless you go thru this LE reboot procedure - every time first
WeTek will always remember your last OS boot selection, unless you intervene with the Remote Power button to Flip Flop.
Quote:I wasn't quite sure if the Wetek's are able to play HD Master audio, thanks for this acknowledgement!WeTek (and MINIX + Mi Box) S905/S912 devices have HD Audio passthrough working in Kodi Jarvis or Krypton and/or LibreELEC
I assume this is only for running KODI on LibreELEC, not under Android, correct?
Quote:Do you have any preference for the Hub or Play 2?If you do not need DVB OTA TV - the Hub - because it is running Android Marshmallow Firmware that allows Android TV OS - 4K Netflix App to work out of the box. Plus MM Firmware is at least 2X quicker than comparable Lollipop. Hub has superior AC WiFi too if you need that.
I think it's just the DVB tuner and 1GB more memory for the Play 2, the rest (and especially the support) should be the same, I assume...
However Play2 has more USB ports and an Optical port and a better IR remote control.
Personally I don't like IR remotes much anymore. Wireless remotes are far better - like MINIX's A2/A3 Lite.
Its about time WeTek (re-)released their own Wireless integrated remotes. Long overdue. The WeTek Core's, Wireless one was nice and simple
For AMLogic LibreELEC - 1GB or 2GB memory makes no difference at all. LE only needs approx. 250MB to run on. You don't need a massive amount of memory to stream even 4K video.
