Post a link to a sample and I be happy to try it in OpenELEC nightly (wired).


One movie that game me trouble was this one
Frozen 2013 1080p. x264 by SPARKS

It goes smothly but as soon as scene changes a lot like diff shot it slugs

Sample plays fine, locally and wireless, without drop frames and steady 23.9x fps, ~20% CPU usage, on OpenELEC nightly build 18012.

BTW: I was planning on running Win7x64 ultimate as OS on the Box because that's a OS the ladyfriend and the Girls(10 and 15) knows from the precent system With the same OS With XBMC as "HTPC-engine".

4k clip, download button under the video. I played this (se a few pages back) - perfectly fluid on DN2820FYKH. It was downscaled for my non-4k TV, but it still has to take full bitrate. Note: These kinds of bitrates are not wifi friendly - some parts have just video bitrate above 100mbit/s. suggest Gbit wired network or local playback.
It'd be great if someone with an actual 4k monitor could try this.

See above reply for 4k clip.

Recently played that very release of Frozen - smooth sailing on win8.1pro, Gotham 220314 nightly.

Could you try the new GFX driver here: https://communities.intel.com/thread/49681 - and post back result with Netflix Metro 5.1 audio? (House Of Cards etc, have DD+ soundtrack) My AVR is off to the shop, so I'm unable to test for a while. I do get good playback on 5.1 DD+ soundtrack over "HDMI display audio" straight to telly - and while the TV is DD+ capable, it still reports as stereo. To little to go on for any real conclusion.

I just got a doubut regarding my situation.
I have an old yamaha av-receiver that doesn't have hdmi in/out, so i'll connect the NUC to TV with HDMI and from TV to AV-receiver with optical.

In this way i can play all audio format or I could be limited?

S/PDIF is limited to stereo PCM or compressed formats like DTS and AC3. You will not get DTS-HD or TrueHD. In the case of DTS-HD you will get the core DTS track, and (I think) TrueHD will be transcoded to AC3.

Well known situation, myself very recently. As nickr here says, you'll be limited to 2ch (stereo) PCM or compressed formats like DTS and AC3 (As per S/PDIF limitations). Luckily, if your AVR is AC3 (Dolby Digital) capable - an up to date version of XBMC will transcode most incompatible formats for you (AAC multichannel, Dolby TrueHD, Dolby Digital Plus), to AC3.This is not the case with DTS-HD at the moment. But if your AVR is DTS capable, XBMC will pull the "standard" DTS core from DTS-HD, and pass that on to your AVR. If it will transcode that core to AC3, I cannot comment.

Please be noted: The DN2820FYKH (and most other NUCs) does NOT have an S/PDIF connector. You will need a USB soundcard (or DAC) for S/PDIF connectivity. Most of these also have 5.1 analog outputs - and if you use these, I believe you can get TrueHD straight to your receiver (and any other codec - just not DTS-HD atm)... based on the assumption that XBMC can decode these to PCM, seing how it can transcode them to AC3.

Personally I went with a Cmedia CM106 based USB "soundcard" - as these has up to date drivers with good win8.1 support. PM me if you want a link, it's was around $15. I'm not sure the mods would appreciate posting webshop links here... (?)

Install XBMC, edit /etc/lightdm/lightdm.con and add user-session=xbmc
restart so now it boots directly into XBMC. Done

That is often a result of misconfigured audio.
