Hi all,

Looking to maybe buy this machine: http://asrock.com/nettop/Intel/Beebox-S%20Series/

And set it up with 16gb ram and a ssd disk.

Will this setup run 4k60hz and be able to play hvec/x265? I guess so, right?

Thanks!

Skylake/Braswell both only do hardware decoding of 8-bit content, so buying it now for 4Kp60 capability is not a wise choice given the lack of 10- bit, HDMI 2.0a, and HDR support

Wait for Kaby-lake! (another year)
Or go for Nvidia-shield (added HDR and 4Kp60 with latest update)
or yet another media-player that support these things

I have the Braswell (1st Beebox) and will patiently wait for the Kaby Lake version :-)

Skylake hw somewhat decodes 10bit hevc 24p content, just it seems not with Kodi, 40mb/s bit rate 10 bit 2160p hevc only puts my I3 at 20% cpu power in mpc-be, but it plays like a slide show with 100% cpu in Kodi.

hevc-10 bit on SKL works with v17 - even dxva accelerated. (Edit: To not confuse others: the pseudo gpu supported 10 bit path is taken, good enough for 1080p - but nothing else).

yesterdays nightly locked my system up (i3 6300 windows based system) with 2160p 10 bit HEVC content, today i installed Afedchins latest test build (3D version) based on v17a2 and 10 bit hevc is a no go, maxing out CPU again..

what makes Media player classic BE able to play these files with ease but Kodi not able to?

No complaints, im just curious.
