N3060 and Z3735F libreelec expectations

starred · February 4, 2019 at 11:13 AM

Both N3060 and Z3735F devices work miracles with various low spec linux distros. What can I expect from them running Kodi on a low spec linux, or better LibreELEC ? 4K?

The N3060 should be okay, the other one I've only heard of.

N3060

wikichip quote:

Max HDMI Res 3840x2160 @30 Hz, 2560x1600 @60 Hz

Video decode hardware acceleration including support for H.263, MPEG4, H.264, H.265 (HEVC), VP8, VP9, MVC, MPEG2, VC1, JPEG.

...so yeah, should be fine enough

Both appear to have (limited) HVEC decoding capabilities IF and only IF the OS has an appropriate driver for it. Otherwise there is no hardware decoding and no game on anything above 1080p.

Question: does LibreELEC have the necessary drivers to call on these SoC's (limited) HVEC decoding capability?

N3060 has Intel HD 400 (braswell)

Z3735F has Bay Trail

Question: has anyone sucessfully played HVEC on either of these SoC's with LibreELEC ? And if so, does one need to get any specific drivers for it to work? Linux VLC on these does not play nice with HVEC (I tried, unwatchable)
