After attempting a EDID fix I accidently discovered a fix:
Remove '3840x2160 24Hz' and '23.976' from whitelist and set both Kodi's 'Allow 3:2 pulldown' and 'Allow Double Refresh Rates' to ON (Enabled).
Now everything playing.
(The accidental discover after I reinstalled LE12 from scratch I found 23.976 played and 24Hz did not, I had forgotten to Whitelist 23.976).
I’m running ‘standard’ LE12 nightlies, I first noticed this a couple weeks ago when swapping NUCs around. I’m currently running nightly from 31 March.
It may not be a LE issue as when the NUC is switched on the Intel NUC boot splash appears to be in HDR mode. But this issue only occurs when it’s directly connected to the TV, never when it’s connected via my AVR.
When I connect my Intel NUC direct to my 4K Sony TV the display is always in HDR mode (HDR always on). It never switches off.
When same NUC is connected via my AVR to TV all runs as expected, HDR is only activated when I play HDR media and off when playback stopped.
How can I solve the direct connection ‘HDR always on’ issue? (I want to use ARC to my AVR)
LE 12 Beta1 build in all tests below, with 4k resolutions 'white' listed, latest firmware (same issues with all recent nighlies)
I have a NUC11TNKi3 which works perfectly with latest Denon AVR4800H with LG CX 4k TV.
Same NUC11TNKi3 with my Denon AVR3400H and Sony A8F 4K TV plays everything except 4K (always shows blank screen for any 4K file) and is completely unresponsive. Both AVR and TV are HDMI 2.0b
My old NUC8BEHi3 with my Denon AVR3400H and Sony A8F 4K TV plays everything including 4K perfectly.
Looking at the NUC11TNKi3 logs there is an EDID error:

Can anyone help me to resolve this issue please?
Da Flex The wiki should be updated. It still has ‘config.txt’ with no reference to ‘cmdline.txt’
Moved to another section asfter a week of no response
I started all over today using another usb 3 stick and a different usb port. Installation went much smoother, although still quite slow. After a few hours of updating windows and drivers, I had to download 2 missing drivers (chipset & audio)
I used Rufus to create the bootable usb key fro a Win10 iso and didn’t need to install any drivers. It just booted to Windows and I ran the hdmi update. No need to install drivers all I wanted was to run that firmware exe.
Note the image option: ‘Windows to Go’ below
The HDMI Firmware update failed
I spent hours with the portable version of Windows 10 on the NUC. It was painfully slow…
Did you use a USB 3 stick and insert in one of the USB 3 ports? Mine was pretty fast and responsive.
Thanks heitbaum
My issue is now resolved. I ended up creating a entry in my samba.conf and can now access via Windows Explorer with path:
\\IP ADRESSS\Folder Name and can copy files as I want.
THX
Unzip and copy them into a folder on the Drive (e.g. C:\HDMI).
The Win system has a browser so you can download using that link. I think I whacked mine on my NAS and copied them from there.
I also have Samsung NVME SSDs so I installed the Samsung Magician s/w on the win usb to update the SSD firmware. (I'm ashamed to say I now own 4 x Intel NUC8s. So did them all. (Someone was selling used i5 BEHs on ebay for 190AUD inc 2 x 8GB RAM, 500GB SSD and new power supplies)
I was actually refering to an earlier post about no HD Audio pass-through, not your issue.
When you replied I was thinking you had the audio issue. Apologies.
For those needing the HDMI firmware fix on NUC8 its called:
NUC8ixBE-HDMI-FW-Update-Version 1.78.4.0.4 and has a Windows only exe method to push the firmware to the NUCs HDMI.
For my LE NUCs I created a bootable Windows 10 USB key and ran the firmware exe on that (it has a UI and won't run on DOS). After rebooting back to LE my Atmos/TrueHD passthrough now works perectly.
I have the zip I downloaded but no link on MS or Asus now Asus has take over NUC support.
You did not update the HDMI firmware. You need to do that to get HBR audio.
Did you update the HDMI firmware? It’s not part of the usual NUC bios update.
I installed an additional 5TB SATA drive on an existing Intel NUC that has LE on an SSD drive.
I used parted etc to create a 100% ext4 partition etc, all working great in LE12.
I can copy files from my PC to that new drive partition using winscp but when I access that drive via Explorer smb I can create directories but when I attempt a copy a file I get an error saying ‘not enough space’.
How can I set permissions so I can directly copy to the LE drive from my PC please? (I want to script the copy process not drag and drop folders via winscp ui)
Thanks.
Why not use the HDMI port?
My two NUC8’s wouldn’t play HD audio to my new Denon AVR 4800H with HDMI 2.1 ports.
It was fixed by updating the Intel HDMI firmware for NUC8s which I need to use a Windows boot on a usb drive as the hdmi update was a Windows exe.
I tested latest LE12 nightly using NFS 4 with only one of my Synology NAS switched on (I have movie sources on two NAS) and I had no issues at all. This was also after changing my two Kodi device NAS permissions to use ‘map users to admin’ (recommended on a Kodi forum post).
I’ll be using the sky42 fix but I’d prefer a kernel fix. I don’t want to block 12bit output. Call me stupid but I think one day we’ll see a Dolby Vision decode/conversion to 12bit HDR.
