When I get my NUC6CAYS am I better using windows for Kodi or libreelec ?
I've only ever had openelec anc libreelec so not sure what advantage they have over windows .
The NUC6CAYS when I get one will be to watch my movie content from mainly the internal hard drive
Thanks
Depends on your use case, if you only want the NUC for Kodi then LibreELEC is way to go. Small size and features codec support for everything (apart from HEVC 10bit but thats in test builds).
Can fit on a 16GB Usb Drive easily and does not require much resources so 2GB built in RAM will be fine. For windows you would need to upgrade to 4GB as it does slow down.
Excellent , thanks for the reply . Yes purely for Kodi . Would there be any advantage to upgrading ram to 8gb ? Or is it not required ?
Also can all the sound sources dd, dts etc be outputted by the optical out? Reason I ask is my receiver is of 4K so when watching 4K files it wouldn't pass through when using hdmi.
Sorry for what are probably basic question but appreciate your help
