My PN42 Notes 2nd post have IR wakeup from S5 included. That was tested by me.

PN42 wakeup from S5 by IR, USB and WoL is working. So OSMC remote should work too.

Thanks for the info.

It will be some time until I am free to test that.

No I did not look inside.

Maybe a external pulse 8 USB device can complete your cec wishes. It can wake the box up from usb and you have os control with cec. The bios part would maybe not be needed when wakeup by USB is on and works. I did think about exactly that setup with my Z100, but I don't really need it so I did not buy it to try. I would need to order and not be sure about the return policy just for playing around.

portapro I made a quick rebuild of my last community version with the force YCbCr 4:4:4 patch.

this commit you can pick for your own build if it works for you https://github.com/sky42src/Libre…7d8a8158956b078

Edit:
Short test on my N100 -> X6700H -> OLED55E6D show it does what it is suposed to do. All is in YCbCr 4:4:4 says the info screen of my Denon with or without HDR10.
You may run into audio trouble when playing 2160p @ 23.976 Hz and using pass through.
quick workaround is to only use 10 bit not 12
systemctl stop kodi && intel-gpu-max-10-bit.sh && systemctl start kodi

No update so far on the Intel case.

Zuma Here is a fancy set of instructions https://www.artembutusov.com/libreelec-entware-ng-installation/ and the last comment is even more creative and does not need to change the image.

Zuma From reading install instructions for Entware all you need is a /opt in the filesystem and after that the tasks to make it work are up to you:
- mount /opt to somewhere so that is will be writable
- try and setup Entware (just for testing)
- write a bunch of systemd unit files for mount /opt and start/stop Entware as instructed in the install howto
- make sure all dependencies of new units are correct and all starts/stops in the right order

I can create /opt in the filesystem, but the rest i will do not. Just having /opt (still not writable) is a easy PR. If i would write a PR like that i would most likely include /mnt too.
If you are up to the tasks i described i will look into having a /opt.

ZumaI think not because the patch is for Kodi 21 not 20.

And for Entware no. That is not the focus of this build.

Now i did a pipewire test on this problem here.
In short it does not help and the same fix with 10 bit helps too with pipewire + GBM or Wayalnd.

For that result i had to work a bit. After getting a hint from lrusak pointing over here https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/comm…e50cb77f429698a and building LE with Pipewire only i had no success get passthrough working. Then i did setup a baseline with Ubuntu 23.10, learned to compile Kodi my self the right way. Then i was able to test with GBM and Wayland with Pipewire only. And as i stated already it does not help the problem in this thread. Both configs work with the same fix from post 46.

I teached my script to detect if 10 bit is already set and have a idea to detect GPU version from the script and only activate if it is a new GPU (without knowing all PCI IDs).

If you want Intel use a Intel N100 box. That uses less the 0.2 Wh per day if you do not power off. The price is is not so far from a RPi5 with a passive case, power supply and a small NVMe drive.


Here is a list

Thread

Intel N100 fanless boxes

I want to share my tests about Intel N100 as a replacement for my Streacom FC8 Evo i3-8100

tested by me
- ASUS PN42-BBN100MV https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0C53D43JF
- MiniX NEO Z100-0dB (512GB) https://www.amazon.de/dp/B0CPLQWN73

other boxes i did not test, but know of
- Zotac CI337 https://www.zotac.com/us/product/min…7-nano-barebone
- Zotac CI343 https://www.zotac.com/us/product/min…-ci343-barebone

I really like my MiniX Z100 and with one workaround it does all i want. The ASUS PN42 is great too.


All Intel Gen12 (and most likely later) GPUs need one workaround at the moment

Thread

Intel Alder Lake 2160p @ 23.976 Hz passthrough HD Audio dropouts (i7-1270p/N100)

audio dropouts with screen resolution 2160p @ 23,976 Hz if the Audio is HD (for 9 out of 10 BD/4k remux i tested)

Use the workaround from post #46

affected devices tested
- ASUS PN42
- Intel NUC12WSKv7
- MiniX Z100-0db

not affected devices as counter tests
- RPi4
- Asrock B360/ITX-ac with Intel i3-8100 HDMI 1.4
- Intel NUC8i7BEH

Edit: workaround is here RE: Intel Alder Lake 2160p @ 23.976 Hz passthrough HD Audio dropouts (i7-1270p/N100)

setup used
- HDMI connections only
- no ARC
- no CEC
- LE device -> Denon…

yamcenutzer IIRC Rocket Lake do have Gen11 GPU and that is the 1st Xe GPU. Assuming that uses the same part of the kernel driver as Gen12 GPUs do: yes that can change your NUC too.

There is no harm in trying the script from post 46.
