Intel N100 processorbased motherboards will play x265 4k HDR and they are really snappy.

Thank you! That looks good!

What about comparison to some Android 12 device like Homatics Box R Plus 4K? Will x265 in 4K work there?

Dolby Vision needs a payed license per device.

Ah! I'm sorry I don't know these standards.

In that case what fanless device would you recommend in general for playing local Full HD / 4K videos besides RPi5 and nVidia Shield? (NAS with Samba or flash disk)

As Linux does not support HDR10+ or Dolby Vision

What does this statement mean exactly, please? Will it play but just without HDR10+?

I have an old TV. The only thing I'm trying to achieve is that I'm able to play local files. Currently, most of the local files (e.g. 10-bit HEVC) show artefacts on display.

I can see the newest nVidia Shield is from 2019. Is there something similar that is newer?

Hi,

I want to upgrade my Intel J1900 fanless mini-PC for something that is able to play HDR10+ / Dolby Vision / 10-bit HEVC in Full HD and is future proof to play in 4K. I'm playing local files (NAS with Samba or flash disk) as well as Netflix.

Looking through the forum most of the hardware recommendations are for RaspberryPi 5. Instead, I would prefer a device that doesn't use an SD card for storage - I have a lot of bad experience with RPi SD card corruption due to short power outages.

Is there something similar to my fanless Intel J1900 mini-PC with full HDMI but newer?

I was even thinking of buying just an Android TV (e.g. Xiaomi TV A 50, Xiaomi TV A2) - would that work?

Thank you!

Remove any EDID configuration, reboot and create complete logs with:

Code

pastekodi
paste /var/log/Xorg.0.log

Maybe something is visible.

Here is the log:

Thank you!

Anything else I can try?

Thank you!

Which display ports do you have?

Do you use the same port for monitor and TV?

Do you use a display adapter?

Did you had a look at BIOS / EFI settings?

Hi Da Flex,

• There are only 2 display ports: VGA and HDMI
• Yes, I'm using the same HDMI for both
• No, it is a HDMI to HDMI cable
• Yes, I looked into BIOS - I haven't found anything related to this - could you advise what to change, please?

Thank you!

Here is the /flash/syslinux.cfg file:

Hi,

• HW - PC: Intel J1900
• HW - TV: Philips 48PFT5500/12
• OS: LibreELEC 11.0.1 (Legacy Generic PC) - also tried with LibreELEC 10.0.4

I have a small fanless computer with micro motherboard with Intel J1900. I've been using this with standard 1920x1080 px monitor for ages without any issue. I now got an older Philips TV with Android. The Android is old without any further option to upgrade so I want to use the TV only as a display.

There is NO SIGNAL when plugging the PC into TV using HDMI cable. Not even during mini-PC startup.

Already done troubleshooting:

1. When I connect my laptop to the TV using the same HDMI cable + same HDMI port on TV it works - without even touching anything on TV.

2. xrandr info

Kodi:~ # xrandr

3. xrandr set display device

xrandr --output HDMI2 --mode 1920x1080 --rate 60.00 // does nothing

xrandr --output HDMI2 --mode 1920x1080 --rate 30.00 // does nothing

4. I set up EDID: https://wiki.libreelec.tv/configuration/edid

Kodi:~ # head /sys/class/drm/*/status
==> /sys/class/drm/card0-DP-1/status <==
disconnected

==> /sys/class/drm/card0-DP-2/status <==
disconnected

==> /sys/class/drm/card0-HDMI-A-1/status <==
disconnected

==> /sys/class/drm/card0-HDMI-A-2/status <==
connected

==> /sys/class/drm/card0-VGA-1/status <==
disconnected

Nothing works

Could you please advise what else I could try?

Thank you!
