My Intel J5040 turns on with pressing any button on the OSMC remote after power off via Shut down system.

Are you using a FLIRC usb dongle?

I know, that's why I am asking

Yawn... non-constructive comments? If you know why bother?

No hdmi-CEC as explained above. I turn that off anyways.

If others go down this path; As yamazuto dribbles about powering on and off on this box it doesn't have builtin CIR but FLIRC works fine. With putting the system in to suspend and waking it up. Libreelec doesnt have hibernation support, whether thats due to kernel support or lack of swap file... Don't mind at the moment, they're finally doing what they're supposed to do.

The bios says it supports wake from S3 and S4 so hibernation may be possible. Will probably look in to that later unless anyone thinks it's pointless.

Cheerio

One more question, when I modify sky42's bash script to work on radeon and force it to 10 bit Max instead of 12 in the previous posts image, it looks marginally better. Or have I been staring at this for too long?

Thanks again.

I had some time and configured the amd radeon and now the denon receiver shows the information on the attached image.

I'm using a standard install of libreelec 12.2.0

Is this the best I can get at this point in time? Should it be using bt.2100 colour space instead of bt.2020 ? apparently the receiver and TV support it.

Ironically the amd nuc doesn't come with a IR receiver, so $5 and 2 days later...

For whatever reason on the amd radeon nuc, it would always display kodi in a quarter screen... Had to add:
video=HDMI-A-1:1920x1080M@60 to /flash/syslinux.cfg (mount -o remount,rw to edit)

Anyone want to buy some intel i5 11gen nucs?

Thanks for replying mate.

Please see Section 3.1.4

I have paki5 and pahi5 nucs... They only have 1 x hdmi port. It was a hdmi 2.0b which was updated to support HDMI 2.1 in a bios update. Maybe as the original port was 2.0b it's not getting enough voltage... Who knows.

I think I'm boned. I have 3 of them. It's pretty annoying. Stinking intel.

I did pick up: https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0DKJ54JWY?…asin_title&th=1 for about $250AUD the other day with an honoured amazon pricing error. So hopefully throwing more money at the problem will fix it

Thanks for the reply. Makes sense.

I did run sky42's script again and can confirm that it does limit the depth to 10bit(must of missed that... doh) but unfortunately I still have audio issues with TrueHD etc.

I've ssh into the nuc then stop the kodi systemd service run the script and started it again.

Does it need to be set on boot or something?

After some free time available I ended up finding a cable (after testing a FEW) and plugging it in to the DP(LSPCON and TrueHD and DTSHD audio work without issue on a intel 11 i5 nuc.

But using this type of cable it says the source is 8bit and / bt.2020

Whereas using the hdmi port it says 12bit

Forgive my ignorance but could someone explain what's going on here?

Setup is:
Intel 11 paki5 NUC
|
Denon x1800h receiver
|
s90c TV (input signal plus)

I get 12bit is probably pointless at this time but 10bit HDR would be better than 8?

I also tried the patch and it doesn't seem to work on this type of nuc/DP/HDMI/Thunderbolt port

Thanks dudes

Did NOT work on intel nuc11paki5 & intel nuc11pahi5 with iris xe. Bummer!

The only thing close I've got is no adapter or the cable matterones. I've yet to try direct display port. But I'm not confident.

Got a big box of amazon returns today. fuuuuu..

Sanity This is almost certainly a driver issue with linux/intel not providing them. It works on windows.
I'm at the point whether to leave LE , don't really want to as I've been using it since openelec and I prefer it or move to kodi and finally use a sqldb to sync the dbs and thumbnails. (Home assistant and ssh does this twice daily at the moment). Or just settle with 10 bit HDR instead of using the full potential of the iris xe gpu and use 12bit. How many billions of colours do I need? But I can definitely tell the difference between 8 and 12 bit hdr.

There's load of information on this forum and others, where firmware updates have helped/or not helped as there appear to be lots of different lspcon chip versions. I gave up reading after a while.

Probably complain to intel forum as a last ditch effort but this has been round for a while...

FYI if you are determined to run linux and kodi/variant and use HD audio and intel I think I read that 13th Gen NUCs work without issue if you're prepared to sell/launch your existing batch and splash out yet again. They're only about $1kaud each.

</complain>

Comments are my own and could/probably be wrong. Feel free to correct them.

Hey Thanks for replying and sharing that information. It's appreciated. I'm on my 6th adapter now... I'll give it another go

QQ Mods look very cool, I'd jump in for round 3 if I didn't just by another i5pah11 nuc

Just replying with testing for reference. Sorry if this has already been done. Just to save others future pain.

I purchased a couple of these in the hopes HD audio would work using the thunderbolt ports:
https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0DCN798Y1?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title&th=1

2 model:
201388
210488

One is specific for MAC 240hz

It did not and also the video was reduced to 8 bit for some reason.

I have some mini-display port adapters on the way. Hoping for some joy there.

Wow what an issue.

Just posting here to add another user.

I have 2 x nuci5pak and 1 x nuci5pah just got a denon receiver and went through some hours of pain before finding this.

Confirmed by, I also have a nuc7pcyh when subsituted works more or less fine. (unit is too slow for some 150GB remuxes). DTHD, DTS(as dts-HD) on 12-bit.

Have tested on older smp builds sky42 builds and currently running latest stable 12.02 and sky12.02 builds.

What I did notice on these hardware models is either the HD audio works for TRUEHD(DTHD on denon) or it doesn't. Works about 1/20 times always requiring a kodi reboot. It's like the edid file is wrong/hdmi does not negiotiate properly..Dunno.
Then the receiver is stuck on DTHD and won't play anything else apart from that.

michael123 could you please confirm that using a DP -> HDMI 2.1 adapter works fine with HD audio and 12 bit using a denon receiver? Before I go and buy one? I'm gonna anyway but would like to know if, it's pointless.

No point me commenting on what I think the issue is as I don't develop for LE.

Really do appreciate the work so far, All.

If the adapter work around doesn't work that means the only solution is install windas and kodi on that. Not really ideal but from what I've read this will allow the best usage of Intels hardware with irix xe gpu and lspcon bridge to hdmi on denon receivers whilst using lossless HD audio.

Sorry to reopen an existing thread but....

Man, I wish I found this a few months ago (ironic it was on this forum) I have been running libreelec for a while and have ambilight using hyperhdr. Unfortunately kodi wouldn't take the HDMI source as the primary display all the time and tried to output through the USB grabber, it thought was a display and would display a black screen. This resulted in me running libreelec on one NUC and hyperhdr/ubuntu on another...This was obviously less than desirable.

I tried all the above which was recommended by others on other forums but nothing worked until just appending a video parameters to grub solved it. (Using an edid file did work but it broke HDR capabilities.)

Thank you kevink

Also I had a similar issue a year ago where I had a DP -> HDMI cable going from libreelec NUC to a receiver. This was in place as the receiver only supported 7.1 channel TrueHD etc audio on specific HDMI ports (due to the limitations of ARC). I ended up settling for 5.1 audio due to this.

I'm 99% sure when I plug the dp cable back in and send audio over that from kodi this will solve that issue too. Winning.

Hopefully that helps others and mods may consider this post as sticky. If not delete it.

Try this one

Thanks again smp and @Irusak

Have been running these builds on several NUCs with intel irix and amd radeon gfx for what seems like a couple of years now

Super stable. Running release 20211020...-d3745e7

The only real issue i've seen is sometimes (not very often) when playing a file and switching refresh rates the screen is a bit dull. This is easily fixed by restarting playback.

Looking forward to rolling out this new build.

cheers

Hello, I'm using LE11 with Jellyfin Add-ons, Which connects my NAS with Jellyfin server. When I watch the Movie or TV in the Jellyfin Server,or enter into the Jellyfin Add-on page to set something, the kodi will crashed and restart. When repeated the LE11 will reboot into the safe mode. But this not happened in official LE10.0.2 build. Anyone konws the problem?

The Log file is here Log File.

Probably something to do with jellyfin and the kodi alpha build,

I've been contemplating installing emby or jellyfin, I currently have mysql setup with libre and smp builds, apart from syncing playback resume what's it like having the dedicated addon (when it works?:-P)

I'm using home assistant to move things around through the kodi.call_method which connects to kodis API.

So I can tell echo im going to another room then it'll grab what's playing then start another kodi box and start that file from the point i left. was fun to get it working but it's less hassle than having emby/etc installed. OR is it? I can do it with files but I can't get a playlist and playlist.add to another box for whatever reason. THat's more of a HA json yaml issue but yeah.

Maybe jellyfin/emby can do this

What about try the previous build that work on NUC8i3BEH ? and wait for the next one. I've held off on several nucs

cool thanks again smp and irusak

I'm currently running previous build 202110020222733-d3745e7 the other day I tried to play a dolby vision file but it played as purple/green. I have a https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us…nuc11paki5.html which has iris xe supporting hdmi 2.0a.

TV is a sony x90j with the connecting port set to dolby vision. XboxSX works with DV on the same port.

smp Is there something I need to do to enable your build(s) to play dolby vision files ? Is there any support ?

Cheers mate

bump? anybody experienced something similar?

Update: got another ac ap pro and stuck it closer to the nuc and moved to 5g way faster but still have the same problem with the newer nucs. I'm thinking about removing the bluetooth/wifi m2 combo card and inserting it in the newer nucs to see what happens.

Also i wonder if getting a bluetooth/wifi dongle would work...

thank guys.

gday all,

I'm having issues with using certiain NUC' and onboard m.2 wifi/bluetooth combo card together. Used separately they appear to work fine but once both are enabled one cuts out the other. Libreelec either locks up or hangs until the wifi is release and reconnects.

I have tried using 2.4g & 5g wireless and using different nucs. Bluetooth connects to an echo dot v3 using pulse audio.

I haven't gotten much from the logs (please see attached Bluetoothwifiissues.zip). It's quite possible i'm missing something as i've hardly ever used bluetooth.

Once the echo dot is paired with the NUC in question, an autostart.sh script is run using bluetoothctl connect to ensure connection on boot.

Hardware & software used with issue:

- https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us…t-nuc7pjyh.html

Librelelec 9.2.6

Libreelec 10(Kodi 19.1.0)

- https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us…-nuc8i5inh.html

Librelelec 9.2.6

Libreelec 10(Kodi 19.1.0)

That being said it does work with this combination on 2.4g and 5g:

- https://ark.intel.com/content/www/us…t-nuc5ppyh.html

Librelelec 9.2.6

Libreelec 10 (Kodi 19.1.0) won't boot and hangs at the splash screen. Probably due to old hardware.

Any hints would be appreciated, please advise if more information is required.

Cheers,
