Have recently purchased an N3150, with 8gb ram and 120gb msata, and installed Linux mint 18 x64 Mate version, (want to run a couple of low resource 'other' apps on the same box, so openelec etc won't work for me), but finding that even though Kodi + live TV seems to work fine, I have trouble accessing the box from the network, copying stuff to/from, and generally doing anything much 'else' on it. Doesn't seem to be stressed at all - cpu/disk/network access not stressing, but, for example, if I SSH to the box, even my keystrokes take forever to be returned...
Any ideas? This is both when connected to Ethernet or wifi.
Thanks.

I got myselfe a J3160 BeeBox. Dont know why but CPU Frequency Scaling is very poor on this Box. The CPU stays too long in low Frequency States wich results in bad UI Performance. Is that on every Brashwell Box or just the BeeBox a Problem?

For 4k, over HDMI, AFAIK you're gonna need dual channel RAM and need to stick with maximum 30 fps and seemingly 8-bit (SDR/Non-HDR) content. Its a limitation of HDMI 1.4. Search the thread if looking at whats possible through DisplayPort.

So I've been running a TV tuner card on my N3150 for a while now.
It runs pretty well but every now and again the picture will go blocky for a split second.
This is by all means bearable, I just wondered if there is anything I can do to improve/remedy this? It can be a tad annoying when watching sport.
Is it simply the case that the hardware is not good enough?
I'm running one of Millhouse's recent Libreelec builds with VAAPI enabled.
Cheers,
Liam
