RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - Matt Devo - 2015-01-21
you're right - my mistake as to which setting I had my display (Panny VT50) on
RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - davenuc - 2015-01-25
Hi, I'm trying to get 4k working on my new projector. When I select Resolution as 3840x2160p in System-> Settings the skin scales perfectly to fill my 16:9 screen as I would expect. However when I play a move the movie image is being squashed with black bars left and right. If I pull up the Interface whilst it's playing the UI fills the width of the screen perfectly with the movie in the background not filling the full width.
Repeat the same thing with a Resolution of 1920x1080p and everything is fine.
I'm using OpenELEC 4.21
Any ideas ?

Did you make a screen calibration for each resolution and refresh rates ?
I guess you made it only for the UI refresh rate. You have to change manually your refresh rate according the one you use for movie and do the screen calibration.
RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - noggin - 2015-01-26
Aren't you always better removing the need for calibration (and the quality loss through scaling this will introduce?) by getting your display set-up correctly? I think calibration is only really there for people who have TVs which have permanent overscan or I guess for some odd ball projector situations?

I'm not sure why I would need to change the calibration or frame rate. 3840x2160 is exactly 2x 1920x1080p, it's the standard resolution for UHD. No scaling should be necessary I wouldn't have thought.

I agree. My display handles 3840x2160, and the UI scales to this perfectly. But the video seems to be getting confused over the dimensions of the display.
RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - noggin - 2015-01-26
By the way I've had no problems connecting my Haswell i5 NUC or my Chromebox to a Sony UHD TV running 3840x2160 at 24/25/30p. Sadly I don't have anything that will drive it at 2160/50p or 60p.
Both boxes played 2160/24p H264 content back with no problems at all in OpenElec (though pre-OE 5 release, but may have been release candidates rather than OE 4)

Thanks, even 3840x2160 @24p has the problem for me. The projector also has a 4k resolution 4096x2160 and I'm wondering if something's getting confused.
RE: Intel NUC - Haswell (4th Generation CPU) - zag - 2015-01-26
I've just upgraded to OpenELEC 5 on my haswell i3 NUC and I get a lot of corruption on the video stream.
Anyone else seeing this?

The above quote was from the 2015 NUC thread, but I was wondering if anyone has or could try that x265 video on their NUC (preferably i3 or i5 version). I'm curious to see how well the Haswell NUC handles x265 with the new Intel drivers from earlier this month. Does the video play properly, what's the CPU usage? There were mentions of x265 in this thread but they were from early 2014. Results should quite different with the new drivers.

For me the new problem with OE 5 it's now with some folders that needs more than 10 seconds to open. I don't use library mode and It's annoying.
With my Xbox1 I can do this task ultra fast and nobody tell me what is the cause of this issue that now with the new Helix it works even worse than Gotham.
RE: Intel NUC - Haswell (4th Generation CPU) - zag - 2015-01-30
The screen corruption has been fixed hopefully for Openelec 5.1
It was the USB3 tuner problem again.
RE: Intel NUC - Haswell (4th Generation CPU) - Ilias91 - 2015-02-01
Hello, since a friday I'm happy to be a proud owner of a Intel NUC D54250WYK.
Using the system with a tripple boot (Win 8.1/Ubuntu/Open Elec 5.0)
Now in Windows i'm seeing some errors in the log (eventvwr):
The speed of processor x in group 0 is being limited by system firmware
Is this a common problem? And is there a fix for it? Been googling this problem, but I didn't find any solutions.
RE: Intel NUC - Haswell (4th Generation CPU) - myst4ry - 2015-02-03
New BIOS is out broskis.
Hopefully this fixes some IR problems.

You're running into TDP envelope. Now with the new bios you can increase it. Try 25W steady 30W boost.

Does anyone have discrete PowerOn/PowerOff with their harmony remote? All I find is PowerToggle in the list of commands for Microsoft Media Player (Microsoft MCE Keyboard).
