There is a workaround for enabling it with USB: https://github.com/OpenELEC/OpenELEC.tv/pull/3038#issuecomment-39067225

Yes there is but there is also a high change it won't work correctly still.

Never worked correctly for me, before being removed and after with workaround and I tried 3 usb flash drives.

Got a cheap 32Gb SSD for 30€ (same price of a decent usb 3.0) and I've been very happy with it ever since Big Grin

I stream all my media from NAS so storage on the NUC isn't important.

Previous Beta version I had didn't run very well at all but I quickly installed the new release last night and it looks OK!

Yes, in fact I always run nightlies, don't care if it breaks as can restore everything in minutes.

Hi pr0xZen I have read the forum and understand that my TV will not display the BIOS screen however my issue is that openelec crashes before it has booted into xbmc every time but only on this TV all others work fine.

In my case, D34010wykh+samsung tv, I can access the BIOS if I connect the hdmi directly to the tv instead of the avr and turn on the nuc first, press f2 blindly, and then turn on the tv.

@dCrypt
Have you tried other HDMI port on the TV?

Long thread, hope its okay to ask a couple of basic questiosn :

I are thinking about replacing a WDTV Live Gen 3(really not like this mediaplayer) with a Intel Nuc(DN2820FYKH). In the main TV room I already got a Intel NUC i3 that runns Windows 7 and XBMC and it works for the most time great. This new Intel Nuc will sit in a bedroom connected to TV only with HDMI.

So my questions is

  1. I need the following to work : Stream 1080p over LAN(cable), watch netflix, watch youtube. While this hardware handle this without problems?
  2. To stay cheap I am thinking of using a SDCard/USB stick instead of a SSD. Is it true that XBMCbuntu is the best way to go If I need youtube and the netflix client?
  3. Will XBMCbuntu support the hardware that DN2820FYKH has?
  4. Will a regular Logitech remote work with the built in IR?

I am thinking about RMAing mine and praying I will get a 2830 back. I suspect the NUCs are flawed from manufacturing. I gotta say I am impressed with intel for releasing windows 7 drivers finally. maybe the 2830 will fix the outstanding issues. I have my fingers crossed that BIOS 32 will fix my problems.

What kind of issues are fixed in nuc 2830?
I've read that some issues were but I don't know about them.

Dcrypt try using Hdmi 1 and holding the on button on the nuc for 5 seconds when turning it on. Worked for me Smile

Okay so I got my NUC yesterday.
I installed xbmc (with openelec). Everything was working flawless, add-ons, videos and I couldn't be happier.
However. Today something strange happened. It couldn't go online regardless of staying as "Connected". After a while of fixing (or trying to) I gave up and decided to make a fresh install. Going through installing process I connect to my wireless internet. Again saying I'm connected after typing password ect. Still can't browse add-ons or even do a force update.

Right now I'm totally clueless about whats causing this. Does anyone have an idea?

TL;DR
Works perfect yesterday. Today internet doesn't work despite saying its connected fine. What do?

Have you tried previous Betas of OpenELEC? My NUC is connected to a 7yo Samsung LCD and I had no problem with it running nightly first and betas (up to B3) later. Yesterday I upgraded to OE 4.0 and the NUC freezes as soon as XBMC is loaded. No SSH, no keyboard, mouse or remote. I tried a clean install and the result was the same so I went back trying various betas and I found out that any version of OE since B4 cause the problem. I have tried connecting the NUC to the computer monitor and to a Vizio tv and both work without any issue.

I have tried to look at the logs to see if there is any indication of what is causing the issue but with no SSH access I can't do that and the log from the previous boot seem to get corrupted when I have to power the NUC down. Maybe is time to head to the OE board and ask there for help.

Update: I have still no idea what the problem was. I have however changed the version of openelec from 4.0 to 3.95.x and it works, for now at least.

Hi skyboysea I will have to check to see what beta version I tried before I tried OE 4.0 but it would have been one of the later beta versions. I will try B4 to see if it works. I started a topic on the OE board last week but there are only a few replys.

Try 3 too if you can. That was the last one that worked for me.

If I have mostly HD content, is there any advantage to the Haswell i3 NUC over BayTrail? My understanding is the main benefit in Haswell is being able to run scalers for SD content, and it can do 3D/4K. Does the more limited HD4400 gpu in 2820 affect playback quality in any way?
