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.

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)

Here you go:

NUC8ixBE-HDMI-FW-Update-Version 1.78.4.0.4.zip

Dated March 2021

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.

After some more help and this time from jernej . Thank you.

I have now a script to fix the audio problem for any LE11/12 without extra binary. The same script works on LE11 or 12.
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sky42src/LibreELEC.tv/11.80.5-240204/projects/Generic/filesystem/usr/bin/intel-gpu-max-10-bit.sh && chmod +x intel-gpu-max-10-bit.sh && ./intel-gpu-max-10-bit.sh

I opened a pull request to make the helper script part of official LE.

Thanks. I just ordered a NUC12WSHi3 today so looks like I’ll need your script.

I’m hoping you can make it available for some time as I’m sure others will need it too. Thanks again.

Krobar I have two NUC8i3BEH with LE that would not play HBR TrueHD Atmos or DTS-HDMA when I recently bought a new Denon AVR-X4800H (HDMI 2.1).

I eventually fixed by doing a HDMI firmware update on both. All good now. BTW: My NUC11 TNK was good without any HDMI firmware update.

Biggest issue, was needing to create a Windows 10 usb image to boot the NUCs to run the Win Intel HDMI updater, as I could only find the Win update app on the web. If you need the files let me know.

Why not connect your Pi to an AVR input and your AVR output to the TV?

Issues solved by updating my Intel NUC8 HDMI firmware to latest version

My LE nfs issues have gone with latest couple of Omega LE nightlies.
