Thanks for the help guys.Have you tried running the script manually?

Extending the RGB range to full definitly helps. I like it so much that I even tried it on my NUC i3 IYE (first gen) and and was able to reajust the display settings on the TV to something more "normal" compared to other devices I have - never seemed to be quite right with the greys/blacks. I did a side-by-side with the old nuc vs new nuc on the same tv with two different inputs with all else being equal - the haswell NUC still seems to be crushing blacks more the the ivy brdige NUC but is still a huge improvement. Assuming the inputs on the TV do not actually vary in calibration which is also possible I suppose.

Does it give you grey blacks too if you change it to "Limited 16:235"? RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - merlinn31 - 2013-11-17 I tried OpenElec with XBMC 12.2 on 3 TVs - a Vizio, a Sony Bravia, and an LG. I only got washed out black on the Bravia, but the Brava didn't recognize my mini HDMI to HDMI so I had to use mini display port to HDMI adapter. Not sure if the grays were because of the TV or the display port vs HDMI. The autostart script worked as-is for me. One weird thing is the remote is laggy with OpenElec but worked better in XBMCbuntu ISOs and MKV movies take 2-5 minutes to start with OpenElec for me, even on NFS vs SMB. RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - aesalazar - 2013-11-17 Yes, it does. It behaves pretty much like the haswell. Hope that is not a bad sign that we may have to live with the new nuc as is. I should not that it is with Ubuntu 12.10 on the old nuc and not OE. Not sure if I am running an older version of the intel drivers - not sure how to even check.

Use ssh to log into your system and run I ran the above code with ssh through putty, to run the script manually and it did not make the remote work. It fires right up when I use the code within the script directly with ssh.

Where do I put that bit? In the script or run it with ssh? RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - merlinn31 - 2013-11-17 Just run it straight with ssh. It makes the script executable. RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - Clack - 2013-11-17 Ran it, rebooted, no luck. Then ran: # sh /storage/.config/autostart.sh # dmesg | tail -15 no luck. btw, I really appreciate all your collective help with this. Wife won't be happy with me if I can't make it go..... :/ RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - lmyllari - 2013-11-17 (2013-11-17, 05:46)Clack Wrote: Ran it, rebooted, no luck.What's the output of those commands? I tried the software decoding a little more, and it doesn't seem to be a viable option currently. Multithreaded decoding seems enabled only for some content (or maybe it's limited to slice level or something) - a full bluray was using 4 threads and playing easily, but other h264 content seemed to be only using one thread, hitting 100% and stuttering. edit: looked into xbmc/cores/dvdplayer/DVDCodecs/Video/DVDVideoCodecFFmpeg.cpp and slice level multithreading is forced by xbmc. There is a recent commit https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/6a532d3d833c55bd42641404eb0522db298ece55 that adds a setting to allow frame level multithreading. I think new OE builds should have it. RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - Metagoudabuntu - 2013-11-17 Can someone tell me if this: (RGB LIMITED): sudo intel_reg_write 0x70008 0x40002000 sudo intel_reg_write 0x70008 0xC0002000 is effectively the same as: DISPLAY=:0 xrandr --output HDMI1 --set "Broadcast RGB" "Full" Is one persistent while the other is required to be run at startup? Anyway I have a haswell i3 nuc and have run both of those commands in a terminal in the same Ubuntu session, and I like the black level, don't see obvious crushing. What is the easiest way to run the remote/black script from this thread on Ubuntu at startup? I like to boot to xmbc manually. FWIW My issues so far have been similar to others but I think most are work-aroundable (for _my_ videos at least on a panasonic S50). Needed to Boot-Repair because of UEFI not installed by the live disk. Sound not playing initially (just clicked on something green in settings) Gray instead of black (scripts above). Some video tearing out of the box.

That will comment out the command and cause it not to run. |
