Why don't you use openelec ? Last Gotham beta works perfectly with the intel nuc. Smooth display. No stuttering. Audio passtrough and perfect 24p synchronization for me.

Or XBMCbuntu 13 beta?

Has anybody been able to get a microphone working with the front audio jack?
I was trying out the karaoke functionality, but couldn't get my mic working with the NUC. On OpenELEC, Gotham beta 3.

Thanks!

Hello

I have problems with OpenELEC XBMC and DTS-HD sound. I have it connected to my receiver yamaha 567

The thing about the sound is that DTS-HD is short, sounds good 2 seconds, half a second is cut 2 seconds well, half a second is cut, so all the time and do not know why-_-

Any solution?

regards

Hi!
I'm currently looking forward to buy Intel NUC D34010WYK to make it HTPC - for that price I wouldn't build so small i3 PC (Maybe other solutions for ~300€)
So I want to buy D34010WYK and for that I'm ordering: Crucial CT120M500SSD3 120GB M500 and Seagate STBV3000200 3TB Expansion USB 3.0.
I have 2 things from previous PC which are 1) Corsair Vengeance DDR3 8GB(2*4GB) DDR3 CMS8GX3M2A1600C9 (1.5v as spec say) and 2) Intel Centrino 6230 WiFi + Bluetooth card. Compatibility list is quite short and it's hard to say what MIGHT work actually. So I ask have anyone tried that kind of combo? I mean DDR3 with 1.5v (I saw there is posibility to set 1.35 in BIOS) and a little bit older Intel WiFi+BT card? Big Grin

Oh! And white are certified/confirmed remotes that are working with NUC? I want to install some HTPC OS (either openelec or XBMC) and I would prefer to have most of stuff to be compatible from hardware point of view, as it would be HTPC for my parents so it will need to work perfectly from day one, as I'm there just couple times a year to set it right Big Grin

Thanks!

@alkon:
Debug Log

and for the future: No issues without any debug log. I am tired of looking into a crystal ball.

@post starter: Please add that line "No issue with a minimal debug log that shows the issue".

Where would i find this to download?

Where is the guide to configure XBMC to 24P?

Code:
Brain* brain = new Brain(80);
if(brain)
  brain->on();
else
  return -1;

return 0;

Does the 4400 pass 24p correctly? I mean REALLY correctly? I would like perfect 23.976hz playback if I go down this road... Thanks.

Also, how quiet is the NUC, if you're sensitive to noise and sit just a couple feet from it? It will just be used for watching 1080p/720p/24 material.

Quote: Refresh Rate Handling:

One of the most important fixes in Haswell for HTPC users was increased display refresh rate accuracy. We have already seen 23.976 Hz working perfectly in our custom Haswell HTPC build. The gallery below presents the various refresh rates that we tested out on the Intel D54250WYK NUC.

Gallery: D54250WYK NUC - Display Refresh Rate Accuracy

As expected, the refresh rate accuracy is excellent across all tested points. One of the pleasantly surprising aspect was that the drivers allowed forcing of refresh rates not reported by the display through EDID. This must have come in a recent update, because, when I was evaluating our first Haswell HTPC build, the i7-4765T based PC refused to drive 50 Hz on the Sony KDL46EX720. However, the NUC was able to do it successfully after deselecting 'Hide modes not supported by this monitor'.

Aren't we all sensitive to noise?

Yes 100%. Remember to "pass" that mode correctly, all your Output devices need to be able to do it (AMP, TV, ...) - you won't believe it, but there are TVs out there that especially with that "200 hz" features calc in between images that introduce hard stutter - so handle the TV "marketing settings" with care.
