Nightly of Gotham or Frodo? Power button should shut down on OE not suspend it.

Gotham. Suspend + Power off both work fine now, where as neither worked properly before.

Thanks. Will have to wait for a beta of Gotham for OE before I take the plunge. Current night lies are too buggy for me.

question for those who already own an i3/i5 haswell nuc: does it really non have hdmi-cec functionality? it seems really awkward that a device as cheap as the raspberry pi has it (both on raspbmc and openelec from my tests) and the more expensive nuc doesn't have it.

I got 1.35v RAM and the NUC was working fine, just my mini hdmi to hdmi converter that was not working. Either that or my AVR is incompatible somehow. I got it working using a mini display to hdmi cable, although I would not get a picture unless I plugged the cable after power on. Changing preferred display to displayport in BIOS solved that, so I'm now a happy camper.

This thing really flies, it easily outperforms my previous DC53427HYE NUC. Dosbox performance is way better, LBA2 is now perfectly smooth even with supereagle shader. Retroarch is running great with heavy xbr shaders as well, something I could not do with the previous NUC.

Video playback was great before, but Haswell is supposed to output proper 23.976. All I can say is movies look great Smile

Still need to set RGB "Full" with xrandr to avoid crushed blacks. Infrared needs the fix mentioned before even with 3.12.

Does the Audio Passtrough work with displayport to hdmi on NUC 4th gen?

I read though this forum and seems the i5 Aswell with the HD5000 is not available yet, I seen links for the i3 with HD4400 < has anyone got that working in Linux (NOT OE) including IR if it has any.

I think the i5 is available (in the US), might have to shop around and may be a little more scarce than the i3 but I'm pretty sure people have them (certainly do on the Intel forums).

The NUC has an HTPC custom solutions header:

Into that you can plug an HDMI CEC Adaptor:

i5 gen 4 (haswell) has HD5000 and it is available.
At least in Slovenia, where we are a bit forgoten world and get this stuff with delay.
I am picking up mine today or tommorow, because it is allready waiting for me. Smile

I can confirm that it does. I'm using a mini displayport to hdmi cable and TrueHD comes through just fine.

Afternoon all, it's my first post here after a long time lurking, so thanks for all the great advice! I have two quick questions on the Haswell NUC:

1) How's the fan noise? The previous generation seemed to be fairly loud based on forum reports, so I'm wondering how this compares. I'm still dithering over a self-build/NUC in fanless case/standard NUC.

2) With the Intel 4400 graphics (or indeed 5000) is it possible to set RGB 0-255 and to have it remember this setting after reboots, etc? I know previous versions struggled with this (in Windows at least) and even though it's not a deal-breaker I'd be interested to know if it's been fixed here.

I'm very tempted to pull the trigger if they ever start shipping these in UK and Ireland, although I might wait for the taller case...

I wouldn't mind hearing peoples opinions on this too. Wondering whether to pre-order a passive case or not Huh

The fan noise hasn't bothered me, at least not yet, although my apartment isn't in the quietest place, with lots of street noise and kitchen appliance noise. The i3 NUC is definitely quieter than my 360 slim and PS3, but I suppose that isn't saying much.

I was having trouble getting all the modes automatically set up, but using OE daily build (I'm running devel-20131109194305-r16358) fixed it and 23.976 playback seems flawless.

The modes as shown by xmbc-xrandr (not while playing, so 60Hz active):
Code:
<mode id="0x49" name="1920x1080" w="1920" h="1080" hz="60.00000" current="true" preferred="true"/>
    <mode id="0xaa" name="1920x1080" w="1920" h="1080" hz="50.00000" current="false" preferred="false"/>
    <mode id="0xab" name="1920x1080" w="1920" h="1080" hz="59.94020" current="false" preferred="false"/>
    <mode id="0xae" name="1920x1080" w="1920" h="1080" hz="24.00000" current="false" preferred="false"/>
    <mode id="0xb0" name="1920x1080" w="1920" h="1080" hz="23.97608" current="false" preferred="false"/>
Looking into drivers/gpu/drm/i915/intel_ddi.c and the values it calculates, I wonder if the 59.94 and 23.976Hz modes are even more accurate than these numbers show. The parameters for 23.976Hz mode should result in exactly 1000/1001 of the 24Hz mode.

I also had to set RGB range "Full". I think my receiver should handle limited range too (it doesn't matter which one I choose from my Oppo - both seem to display fine). Maybe the infoframes are not output correctly?

The daily build also fixed multichannel PCM output. This is looking very promising. Smile
