Hello,
I recently built a HTPC that consists of the following
I3-6100
Asus H170I-PLUS D3 Mini ITX
A-Data Premier SP550 120GB SSD
8gigs DDR3L 1600 Ram
Openelec - fritsch.fruehberger.net/openelec/v15_2_EGL
TV - Samsung 65HU8550
AVR - Denon X3100w
All HDMI 2.0 Cables
NAS - Sinology DS215j
Ethernet Cables - Cat6
My Blu-ray collection has been ripped into MKV at full quality - 1:1 with the disc.
Before this setup I streamed from the same NAS to my Sony BDP S5500. The blu-ray player only supported playing DTS HD-MA (it would not play TrueHD). Playback was perfect. Because of the lack of support for TrueHD, I built the HTPC described above.
I have been running the HTPC for a few weeks now and have noticed a drop in quality in the following areas -
- Playback is too dark (increasing the brightness from Kodi results in a washed out grey look)
- Movies that looked great using the blu-ray player can look out of focus in Kodi.
- There can be slight jitter with playback in Kodi as well. Pressing "o" during playback shows zero dropped frames. skipped frames through 15min of a movie might get to 30.
I have made sure that the TV and AVR are receiving movies at 24p(or 23.974p) or whatever framerate mediainfo states.
Does anyone have any advice to get me back to the quality I had streaming through the blu-ray player? It would seem that my HTPC is powerful enough for this not to be a problem.
If this is not the correct section to post in or if more information is needed, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.
