Thanks for the info. I am glad to hear that Nucs are still extensively used for testing. I am however sorry to learn, that especially the 11gen have issues. The reason I got myself a nuc11 after years of happy using a nuc5 was that the nuc11 are the last ones with CIR. Also the nuc12 seemed even more overkill. I guess I'll now have to wait for the ASUS p42 with a n100 to start working, although I'd rather prefer my Nuc11. It's the smallest i3 (the pentiums don't have CIR). Any chance the nuc11 issues (what are they one you know about?) get resolved. I have issues with Audio coming and going and passthrouh not working as mentioned above near the starting posts of this thread.
The other issue has to do with the tv.hts client not playing uhd streams with VAAPI, which, I guess, is not really related to the chip.
I haven’t tested nuc11 for ages but the pass through “issue” I was able to reproduce on the NUC11PAHi7 regularly. The coming and going audio I have not experienced. The issue I experienced was “audio goes” and a reboot was required.
