N100 playing The Three Musketeers - Part II: Milady 76GB with full FEL on my LG OLED.
Just checked, it draws less than 18W from the grid.

Hi! I’m new here and came across this project while looking for a way to play Dolby Vision Profile 7 FEL on a PC-based setup.
I haven’t bought any hardware yet and would appreciate a recommendation before I do.
my setup / use case:
- TV: LG OLED77CX9LA
- sources: UHD Blu-ray remuxes in MKV, Profile 7 FEL (single-track, BL+EL+RPU); MP4 dual track possible too
- goal: DV Standard (TV-led) output with full FEL reconstruction, no frame drops
what I’ve gathered so far:
- Intel 8th gen and newer are listed as supported. But 8th/9th gen iGPUs (UHD 620/630) only output HDMI 1.4 natively and depend on an LSPCon chip for HDMI 2.0. Does DV signaling work reliably through LSPCon at all?
- N100/N150 are listed with occasional frame drops on some FEL files.
- the reference hardware seems to be an i7-11390H / Iris Xe.
my questions:
- is an 11th gen Iris Xe (e.g. i5-1135G7) a safe minimum for FEL, or is 12th/13th gen noticeably better?
- has anyone successfully used an 8th/9th gen machine with LSPCon for DV output, or should I avoid those entirely?
- are there specific mini PC models that users have already confirmed working (ideally with an LG OLED)?
- is dual-channel RAM required to get stable FEL playback on Iris Xe?
Thanks in advance for any advice!
As soon as Beta 4 is released (maybe today) i will test it on my N100, will post my findings here.
-
No problem, we will be ready to test when you are done.
-
Beta 3 is very smooth on N100, its way better than Beta 2 was on N150.
-
I will swap out the ssd (with Win 11 Pro) in my N100 16GB DDR4 for an empty one to install Beta 3 when its ready.
-
A couple of logs from N150 with 8GB DDR5:
-
I will probably have my new NUC with N150 ready in a couple of days, looking forward to test your new build.
I also have a ASRock N100 DC-ITX with 16GB DDR4 RAM that i could run tests with.
-
Almost none of yesterdays changes made it to a succesful build, hoping for better luck next try.
-
The new nightlies are Kodi 22 RC 1.
-
On my Pi5 i get 112MB/s over smb to/from pc, good enough for me.
-
Working again with 1.0.9 Beta 2.

Try LE 13, all the work goes into that, any older releases is at end of development.
-
Try LE 13, LE12* wont be fixed.
-
Unfortunatly Language Preference Manager wont do the trick anymore on Kodi 22, it refuses to play forced subs.
-
N50 is slow, its only 2 cores, you need at least quad core N100 for it to be faster then Pi 5.
-
Python single-core scores in Kodi, lots of different devices all running Kodi.
-
Nice, the new Nightlies is Kodi 22 Beta2.
Edit: Pi 5 running LE13 with Kodi 22 Beta 2 now.
Edit 2: And 2 Pi 4.

Pi4//2GB works fine with 4k hdr, the 1GB not so much.
