Dolby Vision Hardware

    This is great news—thank you all for what you’ve managed to accomplish!
    I’m looking to buy a "future-proof" media player that can handle BD ISO files or, at the very least, high-bitrate remuxes.
    What device would you recommend? Perhaps an N150 with 8GB of RAM? My collection is stored on a NAS.

    Il mio utilizzo sarebbe solo questo per libreelec con mkv e iso 4k

    good people their to help

    I got a silent R5 5600U barebones system added a 16tb Optane drive, 4gb 3200 DDR, and Ugoos UR02 remote. All for around $203. It works great and is completely silent. It has the same performance as a R5 7430U but does not have hardware AV1 decoding. However, software decoding of AV1 w/wo Dolby Vision works.

    this is great! congrats and thanks for sharing

    Thanks for the clarification!

    One important detail about my setup:

    My HP EliteDesk 705 G4 SFF (Ryzen 2400G / Vega 11) is connected using a 30 cm 4K DisplayPort-to-HDMI cable, followed by an HDMI splitter and my Optoma UHD projector.

    The same HDMI splitter works perfectly with my Panasonic UHD Blu-ray player, including native Blu-ray 3D frame packing and 4K playback.

    This confirms that the splitter is capable of passing both signals.

    HP also offered an optional internal HDMI output module for the EliteDesk 705 G4 SFF.

    Would this module provide a truly native HDMI connection to the GPU, or is it internally based on DisplayPort?

    And does the native HDMI requirement also apply to MVC 3D frame packing, or only to Dolby Vision Profile 7 FEL?

    I'd like to clarify this before purchasing additional hardware.

    Thanks again!

    Topton R7 7840HS 16G LPDDR5, no Storage (get NVME from ebay or something)

    This is actually better than the H 255 (they actually the same just without the AI and slightly downclocked)

    Quote

    Quote:The H 255 exists only so mini-PC builders can sell high-performance boxes at ultra-cheap budget points. But since your deal got you the Ryzen 7 7840HS barebones machine for a tiny $343 price tag, you completely bypassed the standard premium. You got a faster peak clock rate, better baseline graphics clock tuning, and an active AI accelerator engine. It is the absolute optimal choice.

    Price- 324.21 euros ($361.50). this deal site for your country has 7% off AliExpress on electronics (on price you pay minus delivery I persume)

    (0.93*324.21)= 301.52 euros ($336.18)

    it also has this offer

    SPECIAL
    OFFER
    AliExpress: Up to € 80 off from € 469

    not sure how that works,
    Grab NVME drive of ebay second hand, like 25 euros maybe.
    The seller is Topton, very reputable brand, above GMKtec and great ratings. for the hardware it's very nice.
    can't believe I spent like an hour here argh!

    ALSO TRY TO PAY BUY PAY PAL IF YOU CAN, YOU GET MORE MONEY OFF

    ________________________________

    easy way to find good deals is type "16GB LPDDR5"
    barebones are out of order for allot of countries, you just don't have RAM at prices you can buy, so damn expensive.
    LPDDR5 is perfect for this project, it won't hinder us, and you get basically dual dim speeds. trying to source 16GB DDR5 will cost close to the price of the box, it's madness!
    @Borygo77 try this for your country. tell me what price you get it for

    since you already have the hardware and the module is just a DP-HDMI converter anyway, why don't you test it and let us know. dangerouslaser has an example of one working, nothing to lose. Though considering selling on Ebay and buy an Aliexpress boxes on sale. I can get the 2400G for about £120. or I can get this

    Topton R7 7840HS 16G LPDDR5, no Storage (get NVME from ebay or something)
    (probably best bang/buck SOC for this project)

    Topton Mini-PC AMD Ryzen 7 7840HS 16GB LPDDR5

    for £207 (no storage), you'll be able to sell for £110
    why bother with ancient tech at this point, especially we are in the middle of biggest mini pc sale of the year. and it'll get worse quickly.

    you enter their link so it tracks your purchase , when you make a purchase they give you money back, I've not used it, my American friends have and two people got this , you can discuss here

    but you have to be in USA, you have to look for other cashback sites in different countries

    For the time being I'm still undecided whether to be happy like this (activating 8 bit dithering for 10 bit SDR sources, like some anime encodes) or going with one of the numerous Ryzen 7 H 255 boxes that seem to offer the current best buy outlook (and which look like enough for probably ten future years of LibreELEC use, quite frankly, from a performance point of view).

    If you are from the USA, grab that $255 deal. 16GB RAM alone will be about that amount nowadays, it's a steal, like prices slightly below the beginning of this year! check ht2tweak on his Acemagic K1 which is exact same box. it's worth twice this and come January you'll see. and yes, no reason why it won't last 10 years

    Europe.

    you have to specify where in Europe, see how much you get this for in your country

    I can look more if I know where exactly, the H 255 is a rebadge of a rebadge of 7840HS, in fact 7840HS is slightly better, high clock speed with AI, but except for that they the same SOC
