Hi guys, I'm thinking of buying this nuc, but I could not find information about whether it is capable of playing 1080p mkv encoded in H.265 or x265, can anyone help me?

plays just fine on VLC, and Windows, I think codec are missing for linux versions.

I have looked but cant find the answer.
I own the N2820 Intel NUC and I want to buy a Xbox 360 black media remote. Only one thing is not clear for me. Can I turn on the NUC with this Remote or it works only when NUC already turned on?

You know the Xbox One Remote works fine too?, it works out of the box with OpenElec

can you send me some screen shots of media speed for a movie in 1080p x265?
p.s. yes I want use the nuc with Windows 8.1 but I am very undecided for buy the celeron or i3 haswell

I wish I could help you .... I use Ubuntu not windows... Tough if you could link me some videos I can try,

PS
Know this right now its software decoded... Once hardware decoding comes you should be good
