Version compatible with my hardware

FesterJester · February 2, 2019 at 10:52 AM

I have a mini iTX system that has been running an old OpenElec 5.0.8 version flawlessly for some time now.

I would love to run the newest LibreELEC version, but would like to know if there is hardware support in the kernel and such.

The system I have has:

Core2Duo P8700

4GB ram

GMA X4500M HD video

Built-in H.264 decoder

SATA storage

I do not have high requirements, basically 1080p@60Hz video playback with stereo audio.

Thanks in advance,

FJ

Ouch... Not the very latest of graphics processors, but it should still work.

You could test-drive LibreELEC via a bootable USB stick to make sure it still works as necessary.

Very true, but really, how much has changed in 1080p playback since then?

My current setup is the system above and a gigabit ethernet connection to a Samba share on a Netgear ReadyNAS 1100.

Was only a 720p machine until I upgraded my TV to 1080p almost 2 years ago.

Been working flawless (so long as I remember to power on the NAS before I try to play something ) for several years now.

Well, there is this saying "If it ain't broken, don't fix it"... so if OE 5.0.8 still works for you?

But as I said, install LibreELEC on a USB stick, have the Core2Duo boot it, and find out.
