I'm not good at searching in this forum, can you tell me what solves the problem or maybe a link to the solution? Hi, just attach some images here. The playback with banding issue (16-235 expanded to 0-255 without dithering, which I can observe in both Windows and Linux veriosn of XBMC): http://sunmaiblog.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/image5.png The playback without banding (still 16-235 expanded to 0-255 but with dithering in LAV filter): http://sunmaiblog.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/section-a-mp4-media-player-classic-home-cinema-v1-4-2668.png The perfect solution is to have untouched luma through the video pipeline (16-235 all the way through), not luma compression/expansion, and let the display to clip WTW and BTB. You can download the test videos here: http://www.avsforum.com/forum/139-display-calibration/948496-avs-hd-709-blu-ray-mp4-calibration.html Do you output 16-235 or 0-255 to your display? How does it look on your display? RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - PantsOnFire - 2014-06-19 Has anyone ever tried using these i5 boxes to play back raw footage taken from a camcorder? I believe a lot of video recorders record into mp4 or mov these days (but I'm only very new to recording video). Anyone know what format gopro cameras record in? I'm thinking about gettagopro soon and it would be great if these i5 boxes could playback my 1080p recordings smoothly. I'll go ahead and check their site for recording specs but I just wondered if anyone else or there is creating video for playback and could offer up any info? RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - eddiek2000 - 2014-06-20 I need a little help. I have an i5 Haswell NUC and since I am a long time debian user, I have jessie installed. Jessie runs fine, and I know to not use the version of xbmc that debian ships. I tried a prepackaged Gotham version, but it run like crap. It has similiar PQ issues as the debian provided version. I ended up building a version from git and it runs fine except every 1/2 hour or so of playtime the audio get sout of sync and one of the cpus gets pegged to 100%. Has anyone else seen this? Openelec does not have this issue. My other problem is cec releated. I just spent 2 days (between soldering and troubleshooting) trying to get the internal pulse 8 cec adapter working. Long story short, only an atmel device was detected. Once I flashed it, it seems to work now. My only issue is I need to run xbmc as root in order to use the CEC interface. I added my user to the dialout group (the group that /dev/ttyACM0 belongs to), but that only helped cec-client. It didn't resolve the initialization issue in xbmc. Any clues as to what else needs to be done to use the cec interface in xbmc as a regular user?

I'm thinking about gettagopro soon and it would be great if these i5 boxes could playback my 1080p recordings smoothly. From here, it looks as if the GoPro cameras output H.264 files in an MP4 container. XBMC should be able to play them just fine.

Thanks for the link. My atom box seems to play it without issues so I assume the i5 would have no problems. RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - fritsch - 2014-06-21 Quote:ASRock 330, 1.6GHz DualCore Atom, GeForce9400 ION, 2GB ram This one? Are you sure? Press "o" and check the skips and drops. RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - PantsOnFire - 2014-06-21 I've taken a screenshot. Well.. When I say 'without issues', my atom box has ALWAYS shown dropped frames... 2reasons: the majority are dropped when my TV is changing refresh rate, so there is ALWAYS some drop at the start of every video. It also drops frames when I bring up the UI (either the playback controls menu, or even just this stats part). But aside from that, the DROP counter stays where it is. 'Skips' as you mention, I don't know which info on the "o" screen you garner that from. But to my eye aat least, there is no skipping or jumpiness. To my eye, the playback is like butter. FPS stays at 62.50 Pressing "z" shows screen at 59.94Hz.

It's as if the full screen viewer is ignoring the 16-235 XBMC system setting. See axbmcuser's experiments and post #3104 in this thread. Is there anything I can do to help (short of delving into the code, which is beyond my skill set)? RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - Jmeurl - 2014-06-22 My nuc fails to load windows sometimes. Should I reinstall windows or do you think that it is a hard drive problem?

What do you guys recommend? RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - ciukacz - 2014-06-22 i don't know if i am just lucky or the issues are exagerrated. happy user of d34010wykh, no serious issues. RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - scarecrow420 - 2014-06-22 ditto. Perhaps I am just not discerning enough to notice or care about crushed blacks etc but Im running Win 8.1 on mine, bitstreaming HD audio to my onkyo 705 and onto a 65" Panasonic VT60 plasma. Plays everything ive thrown at it, no issues to report |
