Hello guys

I need some help. I'm wondering buying an Intel NUC for playing movies, tv shows and FLAC from my desktop by ethernet. I need to play .mkv, .iso, .m2ts, 3D and 1080p/24, of course, passing DTS-HD MA for my receiver (Yamaha RX-V677). And maybe, just maybe, 4K in the future.

The NUC version with i5 4250U + 4GB + 120gb SSD would fit in my purpose? Are there any cons about this device that I should know?

I'd probably install OPENELEC with KODI.

I live in Brazil, so here the 5th generation has not yet come. Should I wait and pay more or this 4th would fit?

Thanks for the help!

I would have thought a chromebox might be cheaper, but they might not be available in Brazil.

3D - you will only get SBS and TAB, not ISO or MVC with either choice.

There's no problem with that, I barely use 3D, SBS will do the service. But 2D .iso will play, right?

The chromebox here in Brazil with i3 costs about 520 dollares, and this NUC with i5 4gb and 120gb about 650 dollars. Welcome to Brazil!

I am very happy with openelec 5 and my i5 4250 and with my Yamaha 3020. Smooth video no stuttering. Using an Intel nuc Mini PC – Kit Intel[REGISTERED SIGN] NUC D54250WYK

You can even use your Yamaha remote to pilot nuc and kodi.

Great news, I'll probably getting one them. Thank you guys!!!

And do you think the i3 version with 4010u processor can do all this things or the i5 is the way to go?
