RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - chaos2oo2 - 2014-03-06 When you say livetv works for you, what about the image quality issues from the beginning of this thread? The grey/washed out black problem? RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - fritsch - 2014-03-06 The image quality is perfect. We use the swfilter + deinterlace with Yadif, method "Deinterlace". There is no better deinterlacer in the whole linux world (despite perhaps the new BBC deinterlacer, but that's not really realtime). Concerning the black colors: Sometimes autodetection of the screen fails. Then range is set to limited, which means, while the display is in deed Full. This will remove all blacks and also all whites -> gray If it's wrongly detected as Full but is in deed limited, then you get much too dark images. Use some Test images, too see if everything is fine - changing such a misdetection is not a realy problem, needs to be do once and fine: Re: RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - ThaDraGun - 2014-03-06 (2014-03-05, 20:51)yuyak Wrote:(2014-03-05, 04:27)bogchop Wrote: Hi all,I was debating between the D34010WYK and the DN2820FYK but ultimately went with the i3. After reading your post, I'm really glad I did. I'm running XBMC w/ aeon nox skin (win8.1 w/ 2x2gb RAM) and the menu navigation is fine. This is the first time I'm using this skin, so I don't know how it compares to other systems, but seems very smooth to me. I'm running 1080p bluray rip mkvs off a NAS (Synology 214SE) through a gigabit router and the movies play perfectly. I can't decide between i3 and i5. So xbmc runs smoothly on i3 but what if I also want to do more with it. I also want to use nzbget, couch potato and sickbeard as well. Those programs for sure.. but also, maybe use avstodvd for converting mkv to dvd. Too much for i3? I was planning on getting 4gb ram. RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - chaos2oo2 - 2014-03-06 Thank your for your answer [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH] is there anything that can be done to setup the correct range? What about the autostart entry?

I couldn't get my old 360 remote to work either but I have a harmony 650 remote and an old cheap media center remote that also works. RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - Farplaner - 2014-03-07 I have an MCE remote I bought from eBay. Works perfectly on Windows 8.1 (can even use it to navigate the Metro UI) and xbmc. It just worked without installing anything. RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - DEcosse - 2014-03-07 Let me ask again please - things move so fast in this forum things get lost quickly (2014-03-06, 04:09)DEcosse Wrote: Anyone running Linux on a Haswell NUC? So - for anyone who has Linux installed - with output of a 5.1 test file directly via HDMI to amp (leaving aside xbmc for a minute - use something like the linked test file & use the embedded player or VLC) ), does it process each of the 5.1 speakers correctly when tested? (not via PCM - Multichannel) If so, did it do so out of the box or did it require any additional feature loaded?

Just go for the i5, the price difference is tiny. Oh, and why settle for nzbget? Check out sabnzbd it has fancy stuff such as a web interface, smartphone apps, folder sorting, script support etc etc. Re: RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - ThaDraGun - 2014-03-07 (2014-03-07, 11:01)arokh Wrote:(2014-03-06, 23:31)ThaDraGun Wrote: I can't decide between i3 and i5.

Nzbget runs a lot better. Probably switch back tho Power consumption is the same for i3 and i5? RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - focke_oeuf - 2014-03-07 Hi everyone, I received my i3 NUC yesterday and installed it in almost no time (Bios setup bug for one hour and then worked with no reason...) with the Bios v024 and OE 4.0 BĂȘta. Everything went smoothly HDMI plugged on my Yamaha AV receiver but I have a few interrogations though: - For the audio output, the HDMI mentions my TV instead of my AV receiver. I get sound from the AV receiver, but I'm not sure if I have to configure any passthrough option or not. For the moment I let it as default, but what the passthrough is made for in my case? - My AV receiver should be able to decode almost any audio stream, should I check all the options for audio HD codecs or should I only check the one I want Xbmc to output? Would you know where I can find copyright free videos to test the different HD audio codecs handled by the NUC?

Worry more about your lightbulbs than your NUC if power is a concern. An i3 would run circles around your QNAP and handle everything you want without a sweat. I'd still go i5, since the cost difference is minimal and future resolution support will be more demanding.

And it works perfectly here. The sound comes from the speaker illustrated on the TV. My setup: Intel Hasweel i3 Ubuntu Server 13.10 - I installed XBMC following this guide: http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=165707&pid=1429454#pid1429454 So far I have played media with DD and DTS-HD and everything has worked perfectly for me. I suggest that you enable debug log and post it. Then, I am sure someone can solve you problem.

Thanks a lot for the suggestion.
