RE: Intel NUC - HTPC possibilities - cbiggers - 2013-01-08
I was going to be one to help test with a AVR and bitstreaming etc but my when I got my AVR from my old house the HDMI inputs no longer worked and I currently lack an AVR. Anyone else with an AVR able to test this?

Well, I hope NIC supports WOL. Based on this article :http://communities.intel.com/message/175914 wol is not supported on WLAN. Please let us know whether CEC adapter works for you.
Got my CEC adapter today, Got to say i am impressed. I needed to install the libcec driver as it doesn't appear to be preinstalled on xbmcbuntu Frodo RC2. But after that was done it was plain sailing. I am using my TV remote (My TV is Samsung BD2230HD) it accepts passthough of up, down, left, right, enter, back, play, stop, chapter forward, chapter back, i have not tried anything else as thats all i need :-)

XBMCbuntu works perfectly (which is what im using). If you want to do extra stuff go with Windows or full linux like der_zeisig said. One thing to note about XBMCbuntu, the latest frodo build (RC2) doesn't have VAAPI driver installed so GPU acceleration wont work, and it is needed for 1080p content, see this thread here to get it added http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=150322
Thanks in large part to the help in this thread my setup was relatively painless. The only issue I have left to resolve is that I cannot seem to get dts hd ma working. All other audio is fine thus far. In between my nuc and my avr is a dvdo video processor that has never failed to pass through audio in the past. I tried various combinations of audio output device and passthrough audio output device settings in the xbmc menu but haven't gotten it working yet. Is it possible there is an Ubuntu or bios setting that I missed?
So I've determined that bitstreaming audio over hdmi is working for me for all formats except the hd formats ( dts high res, hd ma, and dolby true hd). Watching a video with any of those formats results in silence. The osd shows the audio track as the correct one, but nothing is showing as being received by the avr. I'm kind of stumped at this point.
Update: whenever I play a video with hd audio, I get no sound and my avr displays that it is receiving an analog signal from the nuc.
RE: Intel NUC - HTPC possibilities - Luvas uk - 2013-01-09
Just thought I would put my experience of the Intel Nuc so far.
I received my Intel Nuc this morning. Went for the DC3217IYE model with 8gb ram and 136gb SSD.
Installed windows 7 64bit but had to manually download the Network, ME 8 Management and Chipset drivers to get all drivers working.
After that the normal 1 million windows 7 updates.
Then installed XBMC eden with HDaudio pack. I set this up as per Blurays instructions http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=128480
The Intel nuc is plugged in via HDMi to my Onkyo TX-SR577 and at first it was only displaying DTS or Dolby no HD. If i turned on DTS HD and Dolby HD i would get no sound and very bad video stutter.
I then saw that in the output for video playback in windows that the formats supported were only DTS and Dolby no HD. So I downloaded the latest Intel HD graphics. Result there where all the supported formats including HD.
Played some movies again and up came DTS HD Master and Dolby True HD on the amp with flawless play back with sound and video.

Not sure if that will help you or not Orrkis
The NUC boots up within a few seconds and XMBC is very fast loading up with switching through menus and films.
So far the NUC is performing very well. I have not tried any other skins or XMBC frobo yet.

Thanks for sharing your experience, but I'm running XBMCBuntu, not running XBMC in Windows.

This looks promising if it can do what the current one does

Does anyone with an NUC have dts hd or true hd working properly with XBMCBuntu?

(2013-01-09, 17:10)Orrkis Wrote:XBMCBuntu won't do HD audio through Intel integrated graphics as there was a problem with the Linux drivers, this has now been fixed by Intel but the XBMCBuntu Linux kernel isn't new enough to include the patches. You either need to patch it yourself or find a distro that includes the Linux 3.7 kernel.(2013-01-09, 11:00)Luvas uk Wrote: Just thought I would put my experience of the Intel Nuc so far.

Was really hoping that would be the answer, or something similar. Thanks!

Nice to have a cheaper option but not sure that will be able to do HD sound and full on high bite rate movies but will wait and see.
There is also a Higher Spec I5 coming in Spring.
RE: Intel NUC - HTPC possibilities - Geran - 2013-01-16
Here is another option eventually...

RE: Intel NUC - HTPC possibilities - 01merced - 2013-01-20
I also just picked one of these up, but I am getting artifacting in the upper left hand corner of videos with Openelec 2.99.1. Has anyone else tried this version of openelec on the NUC and are you having the same issue? I noticed another post here http://openelec.tv/forum/116-vaapi-intel/58713-intel-nuc-video-artifacts with others having the same issue, but what I'm reading here doesn't seem like anyone here has had this problem so far. Any ideas?
RE: Intel NUC - HTPC possibilities - spamtomas - 2013-01-20
Not sure how openelec works when it comes to intel driver are they using the latest one from Ubuntu repository ? I don't get artefacts playing 1080p stuff using xbmcbuntu. What kind of artefact is appearing, is it the same on all 1080p content, have you looked through your xbmc log, it might point you on right direction :-)
RE: Intel NUC - HTPC possibilities - snowjim - 2013-01-20
I have tested openelec on Intel NUC and it worked fine, no problems. Now Im running Windows 8 with XBMC instead, needs more tweeks(in my case).
