Hi all, new to this forum and libreelic.

I have a nuc laying around and I was wondering if this nuc's hardware is enough regarding to run libreelic flawless with no errors when watching 4k videos or streaming music..

The nuc i got laying around is :

4k 30Hz should work.

NUC5 cannot decode HEVC via hardware and cannot do HDR:

NUC5 should have enough CPU grunt to software decode HEVC and other codecs up to 1080p resolution. I doubt it will handle 4K media though. There's no harm in setting it up and seeing if it meets your needs.
