It isn't a nuc problem, it is a platform problem (all J3455/J4205 are affected) - but well if Intel decides to do nothing not much we can do

Respectfully, it is a NUC problem in the sense that the newer models are essentially Windoze only devices. Intel has worked with Microsoft to give them full hardware support. Linux support in terms of device drivers is poor. I have open bugs regarding 5th & 7th gen NUC's very poor HDMI/Sound issue. These bugs go completely ignored. Despite claiming Linux is a supported OS on their marketing intel support simply refuse to assist.

I made the expensive mistake of buying a NUC6CAYH to use as a Linux based HTPC.

Kodi scraping works fine, provided you have the latest updates of those scraper add-ons.

We prefer to have kodi.log files from your LibreELEC attempts, though. Otherwise, the Kodi forum is a better place to start.

I just did a fresh install of Ubuntu 16.10 & Kodi 16.1 from the repo's. The add-ons up dated to latest versions aaaannnnddd the TMDB scraper fails. Yes I am pursuing it over at the Kodi forums. Thx anyway!

I use MediaCenterMaster to pre-load my metadata for my massive NAS library. It works really well - give it a try. No need to scrape in Kodi, but you can do so manually if you want. You can set it to put every movie in its own folder as well as rename the ovice and directories with info it scrapes from the video, etc.

Media Center Master

Thx for the suggestion! Years ago I used a java app called Hubflow to pre load metadata. Sadly its no longer maintained & was closed source AFAIK. MCM seems nice. We dont do Windows but I see they have a Python script. I may be able to knock together soemthing..

This what I had to do to get sound out through HDMI put from an Ubuntu 16.10 system on Intel NUC6CAYH. I hope it helps the dev's

Its very, VERY flakey. Breathe on it & sound stops working again. Totem kills the sound reliably so uninstall it & use VLC.

Note 1 : The package 'oem-audio-hda-daily-dkms' does not exist in the Graphics drivers PPA.

Note 2 : Ubuntu 16.10 is the most recent being packaged for by the ALSA PPA guys.

Note 3 : Keep your resolution no higher than 1920x1080 or no sound via HDMI again..

Note 4 : When sound via inevitably stops, Log out & back in. Check sound mixer settings & return them to HDMI/Display port/Stereo etc again.

Follow these steps to resolve the issue:

1. Make sure that your system is up-to-date using the Update Manager.

In a Terminal window, run the following:

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get upgrade

Reboot the system.

2. Add the following groups to your account:

audio, pulse, pulse-access, video, voice

( Install the better user/groups gui to manage this:

sudo apt-get install gnome-system-tools )

3. Add the Graphics Drivers PPA

[ Oibaf : Updated and Optimized Open Graphics Drivers repo ]

[ Updated and Optimized Open Graphics Drivers : Oibaf ]

In a Terminal window, run the following:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers

sudo apt-get update

Reboot the system.

4. Add the ALSA PPA (all versions of Ubuntu up to 16.10, 17.04 NOT supported)

[ ALSA daily build snapshots repo ]

[ ALSA daily build snapshots : “Ubuntu Audio Development Team” team ]

In a Terminal window, run the following:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev/alsa-daily

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install oem-audio-hda-daily-dkms

Reboot the system.

5. Make this directory if it does not exist under /etc/X11:

sudo mkdir xorg.conf.d

Create this new file:

sudo nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf

Paste this content into the newly created file:

Section "Device"

Identifier "Intel Graphics"

Driver "intel"

# Option "SwapbuffersWait" "true"

Option "AccelMethod" "SNA"

# Option "AccelMethod" "UXA"

Option "TearFree" "true"

Option "DRI" "3"

EndSection

To revert to standard Ubuntu graphics drivers type the following in a prompt shell:

$ sudo apt-get install ppa-purge

$ sudo ppa-purge ppa:oibaf/graphics-drivers

To revert to standard Ubuntu ALSA drivers type the following in a prompt shell:

$ sudo apt-get install ppa-purge

$ sudo ppa-purge ppa:ubuntu-audio-dev

Kodi log attached from Xubuntu 17.04

Apologies, I'll reinstall LE & upload the logs per the link

Today I installed Xubuntu 17.04 + kodi 17.1 from the repos.

journalctl --dmesg output attached.

alsa info attached.

kodi.log attached.

The target device is a Polaroid 49" UHD (4K) Television. HDMI v1.4 HDCP v2.2

[A second 4K television from a different manufacturer was tested & also had no sound]

The problem seems to be that the Linux drivers do not see the TV on the HDMI at all.

Before we blame the TV, WIndows10 drivers work as expected.

I have a bug running with freedesktop DRi dev's.

Not sure if this is to any help, but I have had some HDMI audio trouble with the NUC6CAYH as well.

Tried several Linux distros, and the only one that had audio working out of the box was Linux Mint, this was on a 34" Dell monitor.

Decided to try installing Kodi on the NUC, connected it to my Panasonic TV and installed Libreelec 8.02, no audio with the default setting, had to change audio setting in Setting > System settings > Audio to the following.

Another thing, I tried to change the Video Settings in the BIOS on the NUC, and found that if I change IGD Minimum Memory to 512 MB and IGD Aperture Size to 512 MB the Audio on Video playback was missing, but GUI sounds was ok. Changed IGD Minimum Memory to 64 MB and IGD Aperture Size to 256 (Default) and the audio was back.

So if you have changed the Video Setting in the BIOS, try change it to the above.

I am on the latest BIOS (38) and HDMI Firmware 1.66

Thx thansen,

Suggestion 1) : I don't have those devices to choose from.

Suggestion 2) : I tried your setting - no difference. I will leave the video settings on default for now.

Quote from osxanalyst

Did you set audio output channels to 2.0? then enable passthrough. That works for me. I had problems in the past on an older NUC when channels not set to 2.0.

First thing one tries. No dice. Thanks anyway.

This post has something I can try. Will report results later.

Quote from epias

To remove bogus HDMI 1 and HDMI 2. This applies to a NUC6CAYH but the principle is the same. Some systems could have more HDMI ports, including DP.

create:

/storage/.config/firmware/hda.fw:

[codec]

0x8086280a 0x80860101 2

[pincfg]

0x06 0x411111f0

0x07 0x411111f0

and

/storage/.config/modprobe.d/alsa-base.conf:

options snd-hda-intel patch=hda.fw

Run `alsa-info.sh' to find out the correct Vendor Id, Subsystem Id and Address, e.g.:

Codec: Intel Broxton HDMI

Address: 2

AFG Function Id: 0x1 (unsol 0)

Vendor Id: 0x8086280a

Subsystem Id: 0x80860101

reboot

I have a mute NUC6CAYH. Will try this & report back.

Thx.

Ok no quick solution. Tech support slog it is then. I have bigger fish to fry (no HDMI sound output) so I may be a while getting the logs for this posted.

Thanks anyway

Filed a bug at Linux DRI, sourly informed 'it works for everybody'.

Clearly it doesn't...Suggestions?

I have just bought one of these accursed things (NUC6CAYH). After spending days on search engines on it my general impression is they are still really a Windows [TM] only device. Linux drivers for Apollo Lake seem to be work in progress (ahem)..

Wifi hardware not recognised in Linux (Ubuntu 17.04 kernel 4.10) on my NUC6CAYH. In Windows 10 it required the driver provided by intel.

If it worked for you previously think yourself lucky.

The Wifi in the NUC6CAYH is a daughter card. Try opening the NUC & CAREFULLY removing/reseating it.

Preamble:

I have used Kodi oriented Linux spins on various ARM devices.

I have thousands of movies on a Synology NAS.

Accessible by both NFS & SMB shares. The shares have no security.

Movie scraping worked.

File naming convention used : Moviename (MovieYear).mkv

Movie names & Year derived from manual check of TMDB.

Findings:

I Installed LE 8.02 on an intel NUC6CAYH & observed that TMDB & Universal Movie Scraper both stop within a few seconds, No Movie info..

Actions:

Checked plugins are at their newest version.

Tried Kodi on Xubuntu : Scrapers stop after a few seconds. No Movie info.

Tried Kodi 17.3 on Windows 10 : Scrapers stop after a few seconds. No Movie info.

Tried Kodi 16.1 on Windows 10 : Scrapers stop after a few seconds. No Movie info.

I'm at a loss.....

BTW, we don't do ISO images. We only have disk images.

Gotcha.

Quote from vpeter

Maybe archive.libreelec.tv

Excellent!

Thank you!

Are previous releases available online somewhere?

I would like to obtain ISO image of the last Jarvis (16.1) based build for Linux 64bit (LE 7.03 or 7.02)

Cheers
