Once it starts playing it plays fine. sounds like whatever you're trying to play is on a spun down server. does it take as long to start if you stop the movie and restart it?

The single 8GB stick may be overkill, but at that price it wont hurt buying specially 1600Mhz memory at CL9, 1.35v, whenever I buy ram I buy direct from crucial.com or co.uk (as Micron parent company) manufactures the ram chips themselves. and I always double check with their memory configuration/checker just for curiosity on what they offer as alternatives and to ensure I dindt boob it up. Today your use as HTPC only may be a everyday PC tomorrow, whenever there's new toys and you upgrade so 8GB may be a future proofing and wise idea. RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - zag - 2013-11-23 You need less than 1gb of RAM to run OpenELEC. Also don't forget, using 2 sticks of RAM will also draw more power. RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - gamble - 2013-11-23 (2013-11-23, 19:35)arokh Wrote: gamble did you check if HD audio is working for you if you set 23.98 refresh in GUI? Works every time here, I think there's some bug triggered if you're on 60Hz and XBMC changes refresh before playing the movie. Been playing a while on the stable version to get a clue how the sound problem triggers, for me it is if i enable "Autom. FPS detection" in the Video Settings, when i turn it OFF and reboot it sound works again. I am uploading some more Movies and will maybe later try to flash my "stable" build up to R19398 where i can enable Multithreading and limited RGB...if that works i think im gonna wait a bit longer till it really runs like it should.. U should try that too.

Works every time here, I think there's some bug triggered if you're on 60Hz and XBMC changes refresh before playing the movie.I think you're onto something. I set my GUI to 60Hz and disabled mode switching to avoid any switches, and HD audio seems stable. edit: still something weird - 5.1ch PCM gets sent as 7.1 to the receiver. If I set xbmc to 5.1 output, I get crackling output. edit2: 23.976 works too. I can actually start the playback, go to settings and switch refresh rates and the audio keeps playing fine after the mode is switched. Maybe it is a timing issue opening audio while switching modes.

Ended up being a library issue. After switching from NFS to SMB and deleting 10 or so movies that XBMC couldn't pull codec info on, movies start instantly now. I also had issues in Windows where the wireless card would work for a while and then kick me off, then when I tried to reconnect the driver would crash and I couldn't connect to any wireless again without restarting. The fix for this was to turn off power saving in the bios.

Yeah, what i am seeing, my GUI is also set to 60Hz and i disabled the "Mode switching" (sorry i didn't knew the exact. engl. Word) Audio is on 7.1 and passthrough with all Options on (DTS-HD, DD ...), this way everything works so far, just colors are off and disabling VA-AVI without Multithreading gets too slow sometimes..

I can actually start the playback, go to settings and switch refresh rates and the audio keeps playing fine after the mode is switched. Maybe it is a timing issue opening audio while switching modes. Try rebooting after u set the Switch refresh rates to automatic, if i do so i Encounter loosing Sound again...at least with the stable 3.2.3.. RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - arokh - 2013-11-23 Wasn't there someone here who didn't have this issue? What kind of AVR do you have and which output are you using?

What kind of AVR do you have and which output are you using? HDMI/DPI think I was the one. I'm not getting any audio issues when playing different test HD audio clips (I still haven't had time to watch a movie). - I have all HD audio all set "passthrough". - 5.1 speaker configuration. - I haven't touched any refresh rate settings. I'm running the Nov. 20 daily build, with VA-API disabled, Frame Multithreading enabled. My equipment is in my signature. You folks with the audio issues, are you all on the PAL standard? Just curious. I'm NTSC. RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - Ravetrancer - 2013-11-24 (2013-11-23, 18:04)lmyllari Wrote: I did some patching based on the recent developments.

Intel publish all the tested memory on this page for future reference; http://www.intel.com/support/motherboards/desktop/sb/CS-034378.htm RE: Intel NUC - HTPC (Haswell Late 2013 edition) - xelloss12 - 2013-11-24 I'm looking into buying a NUC to use for an htpc to play hi10p anime. My bitrate goes up as high as 33 Mbps at times. Would the i3-4010U in the BOXD34010WYK1 be able to play it flawlessly, or should I go with the i5-4250U in the D54250WYK? |
