START HERE - Pick the Right Kodi Box (updated Dec 2020)
Hi, 

after reading stuff on the big www I am still not sure. 
I need a 4k HDR capable device. 
I also need something that will play nice with my Hue strips. Right now I have to fiddle with the hardware accelerators and because of this I don't get smooth playback (android better than libreelec/openelec in this case). 
Here is where I stumble on my issue. All android devices have amcodec and mediacodec (surface) accelerators, which I need to disable. I can only use normal mediacodec. On libreelec I can only use amcodec which needs to be disabled. 
By using hyperion I assume I could bypass these issue. But I do not get any help how to set it up properly with Hue. Hyperion wiki does not really help me...

So, I "believe" my best chances would be with a NUC/HTPC (windows). Which one is really capable of 4k HDR? I am not interested in 3D. 
Is the GT1030 capable of this or not? No definitive answer found regarding this. Only that the 2GB VRAM would be insufficient for HDR... As a price stand, this card is not bad.

Thank you!
