oajungen I have an Apollo Lake Nuc and J4205 board and was able to get 4k @60 by using some xrandr commands in the autostart.sh file. You can take a look at this thread. Intel NUC, kodi on 4K is limited to 30FPS

Here is an article some last week that seems to think so.

Intel's low-power "Gemini Lake" chips coming in October/November? - Liliputing

I have both a Asrock J4205 board and an Apollo Lake NUC and now that the audio issues are fixed they will play pretty much anything I throw at them. Both are pretty cheap options too. Should not be long until the new Intel Gemini lake chips come out that should have native hdmi 2.0 support.

I have a Apollo Lake Asorck J4205 motherboard and have noticed that since upgrading to the latest build with the version 2 hd audio patches that sometimes my audio starts to cut in and out. I either have to stop and restart the video I am playing or sometimes even have to restart my computer. Is anyone else having audio issues with Apollo lake? I am going into a Denon X2300w from my pc.

I never had much luck with remotes on my pc's until I started using the Flirc receiver. Love it.

That was fast work, just saw the fix on the kodi forum earlier. Thank you very much, will be testing shortly

Edit: Seems to be working on my Asrock J4205-ITX will test on my apollo lake nuc later.

10bit hevc seems to be working again. Thank you very much.

Have been using your build for a while now and really enjoy it, but I noticed recently that I have not been able to play 10bit hevc files. I have both an intel nuc with the J3455 and an asrock board with J4205. I have noticed if I switch back to Fritsch's build from the kodi forum these files play without issue.

I am curious, what would be the advantage in cloning vs. just doing a backup, then a fresh install on the new drive and then restoring backup?

I had this same issue when we were going through our refresh rate problem. Thought I was going to have to send it back, but I took it apart and re-seated my ram and it started working again and has been ok ever since. When I had the problem I even installed windows thinking maybe it was a linux issue but it did not work in windows either.

with these 3 commands on 0710 I end up with black screen on my tv stating no signal.

On my vizio tv I have to enable full uhd color on the hdmi input settings to be able to view 4k at 60hz. Looks like sony calls it something different. In your settings you will need activate hdmi enhanced on the hdmi port you are using.

I can finally say that I have everything working as planned finally. Thank you very much for everyones help.

using all 3 of the xrandr commands in the autostart.sh file was finally what worked for me. Thanks mglae you are a lifesaver.

xrandr --newmode "3840x2160p60" 593.41 3840 4016 4104 4400 2160 2168 2178 2250 +hsync +vsync

xrandr --addmode DP1 3840x2160p60

xrandr --output DP1 --mode 3840x2160p60

escalade thanks for the autostart.sh tip works perfect. Like BoKKER I was not able to get the haswell build to work. I dropped it in the update folder and it went through the update process but it just hung on the nuc logo on restart. I am now using the 20170710 version. On your newest version, it changes the displayport output from DP1 to DP-1, very odd, first time I have seen that.

Edit: Updated to the newest version 20170712 and was able to modify my autostart.sh to use DP-1 instead of DP1 and still worked fine. I will just have to remember to double check how the display port is displayed when doing future upgrades. Thanks again.

Fine.

To make it persistent an approach can be:

Code

mkdir -p /storage/.config/system.d/xorg.service.d
cat >/storage/.config/system.d/xorg.service.d/randr.conf <<EOF
[Service]
ExecStartPost=-/bin/sh -c ". /etc/profile; exec /bin/sh /storage/.config/xorg.xrandr.sh"
EOF

And put the first two xrandr lines into /storage/.config/xorg.xrandr.sh

Is completely untested.

If someone with working 4k environment posts the output of xrandr --listmonitors --verbose|pastebinit possibly missing modes can be added too.

I have not been able to get this to work. Is there a log that might show where I am going wrong.

here is the contents of the two files created.

LibreELECNuc:~ # cat /storage/.config/system.d/xorg.service.d/randr.conf

[Service]

ExecStartPost=-/bin/sh -c ". /etc/profile; exec /bin/sh /storage/.config/xorg.xr andr.sh"

LibreELECNuc:~ # cat /storage/.config/xorg.xrandr.sh

xrandr --newmode "3840x2160p60" 593.41 3840 4016 4104 4400 2160 2168 2178 2250 +hsync +vsync

xrandr --addmode DP1 3840x2610p60

LibreELECNuc:~ #

Thank you very much for your help once again.

Maybe there is additional information in the xorg log:

Code

cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log|pastebinit

Finally you can try to add the mode manually:

Code

xrandr --newmode "3840x2160p60"  593.41  3840 4016 4104 4400  2160 2168 2178 2250 +hsync +vsync
xrandr --addmode DP1 3840x2160p60
xrandr --output DP1 --mode 3840x2160p60

This worked perfect, gave me 59.94 for refresh rate. I can not thank everyone enough for your help. I am so happy to finally have this working.

After further testing this only works until reboot. I will have to find a way to run these commands on startup. Below is my new xrandr info

P1 connected primary 3840x2160+0+0 (normal left inverted right x axis y axis) 1430mm x 800mm

3840x2160 30.00 + 59.94 24.00 29.97 23.98

4096x2160 24.00 23.98

1920x1080 60.00 59.94 30.00 24.00 29.97 23.98

2880x480 60.00 59.94

1280x720 60.00 59.94

1024x768 75.03 70.07 60.00

1440x480 60.00 59.94

800x600 72.19 75.00 60.32

720x480 60.00 59.94

640x480 75.00 60.00 59.94

720x400 70.08

3840x2160p60 59.94*

My lan port quit working on my nuc so I will have to try and figure that out before giving it a shot.

I was able to get the new version installed but still no 3840x2160 @60 I do not see the same firmware error in the log though. Thank you very much for all the help.

How do you get the firmware for the gpu? This was a fresh install of @escalades newest version of his community build.

I did not get any errors when I ran the xrandr command from above, but no changes either. Did you change HDMI1 to DP1 from the example above from Chewitt?
