That's awesome ... good to know. Are you running the i3 or Celeron version of the NUC? Are you able to play ISO's as well?

I have the i3. I'm not sure. I'll rip a blu ray iso tonight and let you know

I've got the celeron and it plays bd iso's no problem. I ripped my bluray of Avatar extended and even though the menu doesn't display I can choose which version of the film I wish to watch at launch. The video and audio plays perfectly, and it changes chapters and seeks instantly. Other BD's have full menu, and the experience is the same as using the PS3.

That's me sold on the Celeron one then. Dabs.com better brace itself!

How are you playing a .iso in openelec? Are you using the Makmkv addon?

I have a full desktop PC elsewhere in the house. I use AnyDVD and makemkv on my windows desktop.

I am playing the ISO on openELEC, but I'm not using makemkv addon to play them. I thought you were asking what software I was using to rip blurays.

XBMC has been able to play bluray iso natively for a while. You no longer need to do anything special.

As far as I know you only need makemkv as a proxy when your are playing real BD in an external USB drive.
The simpliest way is maybe to just ripp BD on the nuc to your storage (NAS, local drive).

I have makemkv on my pc, and dvdfab HD. I ripped BR ISO's before but thought they didn't play in openelec. I'll have to try again

3 Quick Questions:

1) Will OpenELEC be able to stream DTS-HD / Dobly HD with the NUC?

2) Does OpenELEC run pretty flawlessly off a USB stick, or would it be better to install a SSD?

3) I have 4 GB of unused RAM from my 2011 MacBook Pro (upgraded it to 8) - Would this work in the NUC?

I'm starting to get the feeling we need a small FAQ/wiki for the different versions of the NUC. What each model can and can't do under each operating system.

Pasoa2021 · 2013-03-22, 15:43

Also, is 4GB enough?
