DTS-HD and TrueHD passthrough works
Oceanic Life skipped 1 frame on the initial bootup and then played through the entire folder without any skipped or dropped frames.

This was on a hastily setup unit running version 0021 of the bios and openelec nightly "OpenELEC-Generic.x86_64-devel-20140204145610-r17626-g97447e4"

I was able to boot off USB 3.0 stick using instructions from this thread. If the unit boots to a blank screen, keep pressing F2 to get into setup. Another snag I ran into was I was unable to flash the bios from within Visual Bios. Instead I had to press F7 repeatedly at startup before the BIOS screen to get into an old school text based BIOS flash utility which allowed me to update via USB. I am using a Crucial 2GB CT25664BF1339 stick with 512MB allocated for Video in the BIOS. I did remove the wi-fi card, as I only use wired ethernet and find the dual NIC's more trouble than it's worth. I didn't mess with the IR receiver, as I use FLIRC and think that is a superior solution.

I hope than clarifies some questions and I plan to play with it some more this weekend as time allows.

irw
mode2 -d /dev/lirc0
irw /var/run/lirc/lircd

lirc modules appear to be loaded..

OpenELEC-Media:~ # lsmod | grep lirc
ir_lirc_codec 3589 0
lirc_dev 7563 1 ir_lirc_codec
rc_core 10748 12 lirc_dev,ir_lirc_codec,ir_rc5_decoder,ir_nec_decoder,ir_sony_decoder,ir_mce_kbd_decoder,ir_jvc_decoder,ir_rc6_decoder,ir_sanyo_decoder,ite_cir,rc_rc6_mce


But I none of the above commands seem to be receiving any IR when I point a IR remote at the sensor on the front of the NUC and hit buttons..

What am I doing wrong or missing?

Thank you in advance!

Sounds like Intel is never going to fix this BIOS bug. Guess I purchased a paperweight if I don't buy a compatible tv.
This is the last intel product I ever purchase.

Just realised Oceanic Life is 29.97 fps. Any of the "23.98" files from http://www.demo-world.eu/trailers/high-definition-trailers.php can be used to test 23.976.

I know IR receiver is working because my LG G2 has an IR Blaster and I was able to get some functions to work using the LG app, QuickRemote.

I then ordered a certified MCE remote that works out the box; It says it is RC6. I ordered the Rosewill RHRC-11002. I made custom mappings to get it to work the way I wanted for example hitting the guide button brings the full guide when in fullscreen live tv.

You can tell if your remote would work if you ssh into the box and run the "irw" command then hit any key on the remote. If you get a response in ssh, then that remote is compatible, or at least that key.

I was running "irw" and getting no response from my Dish network remote that was shooting IR to my receiver for volume, etc.. pretty standard IR frequency, I'm sure.. but the NUC wouldn't output anything.. I'll try other remotes later tonight.. but if anyone has more tips on this, let me know! What defines a "compatible remote" exactly?

Thanks!

I was hoping that it would see just about any IR remote created in the last 20 years.. I was hoping to use the DVD mode of my Dish Network remote and program XBMC via OpenELEC to respond to whatever IR commands my DVD player remote was sending to it..

Am I way off base here? I can't get any remote that I have to be recognized by "irw" on my NUC...
