As said in the first post, it just wont work. For now i use 2 systems in tandem, the CFL NUC for 2D viewing and an 8 yr old haswell laptop for 3D.
I want one system to do both, any updated recommendations? The excel sheet in the first post seems outdated...
System requirements:
X64 processor
8GB ram
128GB emmc/m2/ssd
H265 & VP9 decoding
Audio passthrough capable of Atmos
At least 2 usb 3.0 ports
Windows 10 license
I ordered earlier today a j4125 system from AliExpress for 180$ just to see if it supports the full resolution "HW based" mode.
My current system is connected to a bluray drive so kodi is decoding my encrypted 2d/3d bluray discs for viewing on the fly - hence the requirements stated above.
Why not build a small HTPC with an optical drive and the specs to get full MVC 3D working with Kodi? An Intel 3rd gen CPU with HDMI or displayport out, 8GB RAM, SSD and optical drive will do what you need, unless you are running 4K content as well which then I don't know what changes are needed with HDMI and processor capability.
I set my dad up with a used Dell Optiplex 390 system, came with Windows 10, put in a SSD and more RAM and it works very well. It doesn't look horrid in an entertainment unit and has a footprint about the size or an XBox One S.
