go to plugins, powerboard manager i think its called.

My PBenigma is playing up after an update and cant for the life of me get it to reboot, stuck on the loading screen.

Will probably use OPENPLI next, will definitely be trying android when i get a chance.

For pbnigma 1/12/15 was good or there is a stable alt version think it's 16/1/16
Told u earlier enigma2 is still being worked on
That's why they saying to use it on an sd card and not bother putting on nand til it's stable !

Pbnigma seems worse than openatv. Some of yne channels that were working perfectly on openatv were having audio sync issues on pbnigma.

I installed an old version of pbnigma from November so don't know if that's what caused it.

I'm new to all this so no other box to compare to but it seems the wetek is hard to get right.

I've been reading on the wetek forum that wetek didn't design the architecture to work with enigma2 but are working in the background to try make enigma2 work so this could be why people are having such issues.

I could be wrong though...

Etnies

No one got coloured keys working on Enigma image with normal remote? Ive ordered enigma2 remote but am impatient cause i cant install plugins :mad:


Edit : just found an option to change remote settings but it crashed the box when I changed will have to reflash me thinks

No offense lads, but seeing as this is the BA for the boxes, should this discussion not be taken to the tips 'n tricks thread? It's a nightmare waiting for updates on the group order and getting notifications of new posts from people who already have a box.

Is this the correct connection for dvb-t / dvb-c? (See image attached)

Or did I get the wrong box?

I'm just not sure since its different to my cable connection I'm trying to hook up to it.

Or do I need an adapter? This is first cable box I've bought. I usually deal with dvbs tuners

You must be telepathic, I'm in the middle of sending out email updates since 8pm, have about 25 left to send, they'll be sent in next hour or so.

Thanks Aquos for doing this, got mine and just need time to start playing around with it now.


I think any of the 'help' questions would be better asked on the other thread.

http://www.boards.ie/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=2057531921

or people could have a read over it and see if their questions have already been answered there.

They just won't listen!! The worst part of it is if you come across something that might be helpful, you have to search through 2 or 3 threads to find it!!:D

Aquos76

Right so, everyone should have had an email from me now asking you to confirm that the details I have for you are correct, All going well these will be with me on Friday morning and with the help of my three kids:D, we'll have them packaged up and sent back out on Friday afternoon, so hopefully ye will start to receive them then by Saturday afternoon.

I will then be asking the mods to maybe close this thread as its just getting way to messy as people have already said. If someone else wants to do a group buy at another time, then I suggest a new thread should be opened.

The lads on here went to the bother of setting up a dedicated thread for these wetek's that's really where all the questions should be asked to be honest.

Can you send me an email please and I'll cross reference your email address with your payment details again.

I found you, the mail was in my outbox, it never went to you, sorry about that

Muahahaha

can I ask whats the difference between having one of these boxes and instead just downloading Kodi to your laptop? Are the boxes primarily so you can stream to tv or do they offer some additional features? Also does Kodi from a laptop work with chromecast, if so do you lose much picture quality?

brian_gall85

Basically they are much easier to use for all the family and also their electricity use is much lower than a having a laptop running all day.

LimerickCity

Might suit some.

And you can run regular apps like BBC iPlayer, ITV Player, All 4, Demand 5. UK TV, TV Player, Zattoo, Film On, Spotify, TuneIn Radio, Netflix, etc. etc. plus the unmentionable ones,

Flashing it with Android means Play Store = Netflix..

Glen_Quagmire

I am going to use this box primarily for kodi and u have it set up on openelec and it's running smoothly. However I would like to have Netflix app also so my understanding is I would need to install android to NAND to install the Netflix app.

Question is would kodi run as smoothly on Android as it does on openelec?

I was watching 1080p streams last night perfectly, something that I couldn't do on my old MX android box

As smoothly? I don't know. I couldn't live with Openelec for long enough to know the difference.

No problems running 1080p streams in Kodi on Android, though.

It's fine for what it is. Personally, I'd spend a bit more for something that has a bit better specs.

What didnt you like about OpenELEC?

I havnt really used it for anything else but Kodi

I had no problem with it, but missed my Android apps. On top of that, my family all have Android devices and are very used to certain Android apps. I was fighting a losing battle getting them to use Openelec. My other half doesn't like using Kodi either. Thinks it's too complicated and doesn't offer anything that she can't get through other means.

I did get it set up with tvheadend, but only with UK fta channels, which I can already get through my various sky boxes.

Aquos76

Just to confirm again to those involved in this group buy, ye have already paid for PM shipping so therefore you won't be charged again by Parcel Motel.

TitianGerm

Where do people get 1080 streams?

Mine always say, High, medium or low

RossieMan

Salts. Its the only one to use.

I keep getting a db error with salts. Has happened more than once, on more than one box.

RossieMan

Never once had any issues. Must be the repository you downloading it from.

Yeah, will have a look. It works for a while, but eventually get a message about requiring db migration.

RossieMan wrote: »

That what I use alright. But how do you know prior to clicking in that the stream will be 1080 or 720 etc?

RossieMan

It should say high, medium,low, 720, 1080p etc in the links.

RossieMan wrote: »

It does. I was just wondering because I watched Scicro the other not on a medium RDB server and the quality was much better than the majority of the high RDB links.

Glen_Quagmire

Install Paradox build. It's the ****

I highly recommend getting the Enigma 2 remote. Its €10 and is here in a week. If you are planning to use an E2 image it saves lots of heartbreak. The standard remote doesn't work well in E2.

Is that via the premium shipping or the free shipping method?

The only thing i have really messed about with is an apple tv 2 , running kodi

Thanks in advance, don't want to clog up the thread with too many questions

There's loads of information online, and this thread here:

There's a guy who has uploaded his complete setup of PBnigma. It's a whopping 14.8GB so you would need a 16GB SD.
I intend to give it a go during the week when I get my hands on the Wetek + SD card.

Not sure if I'm allowed to post a link to his page?
