RE: Intel HTPC/NUC's w/reliable Kodi-native 3D MVC Playback - K0D1User1138 - 2019-01-20
Looking to build a new, faster system. Trying to read up on all the best requirements but all this NUC talk just messes it up. For a dedicated HTPC with MVC 3D you need native HDMI 1.4? But 4K HDR (for the future) needs HDMI 2.0? I do know some of this but I'm just confirming.
I believed 8th gen Intel CPU's had some issue with MVC 3D. Has that been resolved?
Basically looking for the best i5 or if needed i7 options for hopefully MVC 3D and 4K HDR through Kodi with full HD Dolby Atmos and dts:X output.
If not a naitvie HDMI output on a motherboard is there a video card that will achieve all of the above?
RE: Intel HTPC/NUC's w/reliable Kodi-native 3D MVC Playback - brazen1 - 2019-01-20
All modern video cards achieve everything you require and more using even the most ancient CPU's because all the tasks are hardware decoded via the GPU as opposed to trying to do the same with a strong modern CPU that only software decodes and still struggles. Using one video card port with one HDMI cable handles anything you throw at it including 3D MVC Frame Packed and UHD HDR with every HD audio perfectly and reliably. I use a 10 year old Xeon CPU and a 2 generation old nVidia GTX 960 4GB for example.

Using which drivers and installation method?
RE: Intel HTPC/NUC's w/reliable Kodi-native 3D MVC Playback - brazen1 - 2019-01-21
W10 with external player(s) launched seamlessly from KODI (v.18 LEIA presently) using the method in my sig. Been doing it this way for years because I know of nothing better that meets all my demands reliably.
RE: Intel HTPC/NUC's w/reliable Kodi-native 3D MVC Playback - K0D1User1138 - 2019-01-22
So again you answer a question with some information but leave out plenty of caveats and don't actually provide a proper response to the question asked?
This thread title features native-3D MVC Playback. Your solution doesn't answer my question or contribute to the purpose of this thread.

I do know some of this but I'm just confirming.My previous post applies only for Intel CPU's in the case if you're using only the IGP for display. So yes, NO 3D MVC with (non-native) HDMI 2.0 outputs in these cases.

In the case of a modern dedicated video card you're fine with presumably a native HDMI 2.0a output for both 3D MVC and 4K / HDR playback. For 4K / HDR: an Nvidia 1030 or an AMD RX 550 would be required as a minimum.
RE: Intel HTPC/NUC's w/reliable Kodi-native 3D MVC Playback - K0D1User1138 - 2019-01-23
Apologies if I'm not following along fully. It's late but I wanted to clarify my understanding.
So with Intel CPU and on-board graphics 7th Gen and even 8th Gen processors will provide Kodi MVC 3D with full HD Atmos/dts:X audio passthrough if the motherboard has HDMI 1.4 but not HDMI 2.0a?
An NVidia GPU with HDMI 2.0a will provide both 4K HDR and MVC 3D with full HD Atmos/dts:X audio passthrough directly through Kodi? If so, is there a good resource to follow to get this set-up running?
THX!

@afedchin any plans for a MVC build based on Leia after it got released?

Leia is a no go for me, good 3D support is non existing with that on my setup, so I stick to 17.6 (till my current TV will be replaced).

Seems that building ffmpeg fails when running make-mingwlibs.bat. As it takes about 2 seconds only...

No error message though
