I am using a micro ATX home built machine from 2013 to run Kodi on Linux. The CPU's onboard video cannot drive 4k output much less decode HVEC 4k content. I recently bought a new TV that is 4k so I would like to use the same Kodi box to drive it at 4k. Since the CPU is underpowered, I think an external video card to decode HVEC at 4k is needed. I read Radeon has better support in the kernel than Nvidia does. What hardware are people using that can playback 2160p HEVC? Low form-factor and passive cooling are needed for my application.
