Hi there,
are there any plans to support archlinux on the Wetek Play?

It looks like it has OpenELEC support, so that is promising. However, none of the development team has one, so at this point, no.

There is a special Black Friday discount from Nov. 26th-29th:
http://openelec.tv/openelec-box --> 53.99€ instead of 99€.

Just in case someone of the development team is interested :)

I found some time to make ArchLinux work on the Wetek play.

It was quite easy, I had just to combine the boot partition from the Ubuntu port
http://www.cnx-software.com/2014/08/24/linux-enlightenment-and-lubuntu-in-wetek-play-amlogic-tv-box/

with the root partition of the Arch ORDOID-C1 port
http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/armv7/amlogic/odroid-c1

with only some minor problems:
- there is a systemd timeout waiting for /dev/ttyS0
- DNS and ping are only working for root but not for unprivileged users.

May be someone has some hints for the last issue?
This is really annoying ... yaourt will not work and so on.

Error message is:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[sg75@alarm ~]$ dig http://archlinuxarm.org/
net.c:151: socket() failed: Permission denied
net.c:151: socket() failed: Permission denied
dig: can't find either v4 or v6 networking')
and using strace:
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '

Crazy Android kernels seem to check if the user is member of group inet (gid=3003) to grant internet access.
Therefore,
$this->bbcode_second_pass_code('', '[sg75@alarm ~]$ sudo groupadd -g 3003 inet
[sg75@alarm ~]$ sudo gpasswd -a sg75 inet')
solved my DNS and ping problems :D
