Hi i have an Intel NUC where I have the latest Leya (Libreelec) and a 1080p projector. I thought it was possible to play 4k files on a 1080p projector just downscaled but each file I try i get enormous stutter. Can someone help please?

Hi fritsch. Thanks for taking the time to answer. Sorry for the missing information. My Intel Nuc is a NUC5i3RYH.
I think you are right, I did use advancedsettings.xml and used Lanzcos 3 earlier.
Can I somehow use the Scaling on other material but not on 4k somehow?

As you are downscaling most of the stuff - Lanczos3 Optimized should be good enough. That one uses a fast path (convolution and rendering with opengl 4.x feature for pixel lookup).
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Thanks for looking at it. Can I set it to software decode it somewhere then?

It is SW decoded - and this is your problem. The CPU is not fast enough to cope with those 4k files.

Hmm that's strange since it's an I3. But an 60 bucks MI Box can do it, is that correct. If so that doesn't make sense since Intel was much more expensive even though it's older.

Okay thanks for the answer. What can you recommend if I want HEVC decoding and also Lanczos3 optimized for 1080p which is not too expensive?
