VC1 interlaced is not implemented by the intel people. They rather decided to segfault hard. VC-1 progressive should be "fine", despite there are decoding artifacts, which is also the case for some mpeg-2s. We reported all this to intel.

well that's disappointing, i thought it was just the interlaced that had issues. thanks for the info.

Check with your real life samples. I can show you approx 25 that don't run on nvidia, kill amd oss vdpau, kill windows DXVA2 and so on ...

Not sure if people still use it now.. (I think the answer is no) I just know that there's plenty of movies that did use it before, and when it comes to movies..newer isn't better!

That being said, the issue has been reported several times both here, and to intel and like fritsch said, it crashes everywhere and with everything. There's always the bad apple. Unfortunately, the solution I've had to live with is to turn off hardware decoding, which makes me quite glad that multi-core rendering works so well in its place. I'd be pretty unhappy without that workaround Smile

Edit: Recently Battlestar Season 1 bluray was encoded in VC1. It still exists. ! Smile

Was not so hard, was it?

Im thinking of upgrading to this from an atom lenovo ideacenter q180, does anyone know if this will handle windows 8 with xbmc and some sort of usb dual dvb-2t (uk freeview HD) tuner?
Looking to use the dolphin emulator too, to tidy up my setup if anyone can confirm it works on this? Thanks!

About 170 Pages later i didn't found anyone who really tried to use the internal hdmi cec adapter from pulse eight (besideds cecemf user name is quite annoying, if you search of cec Smile and the forum search isn't working for words with 3 letters Smile ).

I read a few times that there is only little space in the case, but there have to be a few mm for a msata drive or for the so-dimm. So did anyone really try to use the internal cec adapter?

I'm just about to buy the current i5 version and i would like to try it with the cec adapter, even i have to remove the pin headers and solder a few wire direct down (anyone know which are really neccessary for cec?)

Thanks in advance.

Cheers

Not on OE no Smile

Yeah, get up your ass from the couch and stop being lazy, learn something, e.g. C++ :-) It was a three liner. Currently PRing it to mainline, let's see: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/4011

That requires me to code even after I spend an entire day doing web development... no thanks. I need balance in my life Smile

Also, I love you for doing that. Smile

Yeah, but there are many threads with the words cec in it...

But thank you for the hint.

Yes, that is kind of what i was looking for, so basically the cec adapter will fit! Great! But i don't want to solder on the mainboard, i just wanted to remove the pin header on the cec adapter (i don't think my soldering skills are good enough for a 300 Euro device Big Grin ).

I am shamed that i didn't find that web page.

Thank you!

Any chance to get hd audio with passthrough on my denon 1910 with the i5 nuc haswell ? I'm stuck. Thanx.

Any chance you could supply a debug log?
