Changed my O/S from USB to SSD
When I did LibreELEC USB/SD Creator is still a hit & miss situation with the 93% error
It's funny that it worked 1st time on LE 8.2.5 but when I changed to LE 9.0.2 93% error showed up
Rufus seems to be far more reliable
Summary on the synchonization software
Resilio Sync and Syncthing were not very easy to use and were here and there a bit complex in setting up sync's
But they both had different situations where they just didn't work at all
After googling around at free and paid synchonization software I tried out EverySync from easeus
If they were smart they should rename it EasySync, because it is almost too easy to use
Syncing folders on the Topfield, LibreELEC, network drives, etc was just plain easy and very quick to set up
I try to use open source software where I can, but ended up paying $16.59 (AU) for it
I try to use open source software where I can, and I don't have any affiliation with easus (this is the first thing I've ever bought of them)
This thread is resolved
Iridium
Thanks for the suggestion
qnapclub had their versions of syncthing mixed up
I got it working on my server off a version meant for a different model
Docker image for Resilio Sync that is
Qnap no longer have syncthing ..
found 3rd party version (QPKG) from qnapclub but it stops at 45%
Installed okay on Synology
I'll try docker image
can Resilio Sync free be added to LibreELEC with putty?
I'll agree though .. that it was a bad mistake on the HTPC!
Sorry
But I can't do without CUDA
As suggested .. I'll leave the GTX 1050 in my LE / HTPC, at least until LibreELEC 10.0 has been out and about for a while
the HD 7770 / Q8400, etc is all going into a DIY box with LibreELEC 8.2.5 as a give away
a GTX 1660Ti is now in my new desktop rig
Operating system: LibreELEC (official): 8.2.5 (kernel: Linux 4.11.12)
GPU: Gallium 0.4 on AMD CAPE VERDE (DRM 2.49.0 / 4.11.12, LLVM 3.9.0)
Screen resolution: [email protected] - Full screen
Screen resolution: [email protected] - Full screen
OpenGL vendor: X.Org
OpenGL version: 3.0 Mesa 17.1.3
GPU temperature: 40°C
LibreELEC on the 4K TV was slow to load up on boot & also slow to shut down
One & only oddity was when using the remote control the gui swish sound would echo if pressed in quick succession

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/unified_video_decoder/ your link did not work
this one does https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/unified_video_decoder
Used 3 video samples 1x4K H265 & 2x1080p H265 tested each one for 15 minutes
all played okay, the 4K H265 @30Hz had a barely detectable slight judder on some fast moving scenes, and audio was also lower ..
.. when set via LE to 1080p it played A/R perfectly as did the others
libreELEC's information on all 3 samples was H265
NAS used does not do any video transcoding
4K TV showed [email protected] & [email protected] respectively
Installed LibreELEC 8.2.5 on the Q8400 cpu with the HD7770 video card connected via HDMI to 4K TV
both ran at 40-44°C with cpu at 40-60% load
VDPAU was shown as preferred, I changed it to VAAPI .. but didn't detect any difference
the 4K H265 video I tested could only play 4K at [email protected]
changed resolution to Full HD [email protected]
audio thru HDMI was lower with the [email protected] resolution
HD 7770 handles nothing about HEVC
Checked out VLC media info whilst playing video
Codec: MPEG-H Part2/HEVC (H.265) (hevc)
MB: Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3LR
CPU: [email protected] / 4gb ram
HD 7770 Cape Verde XT
Display: 1440x900 60Hz
OS: Trinity Desk Enviroment, a Unix like System based on Linux
Maybe VLC knows it's origins but HD 7770 plays without knowing?
It does play perfectly with VLC Media Player
but GTX1050 is nVidia so it will not be supported in LE10
That's why I was going to use the GTX 1050 in a new (non-HTPC) desktop PC
but I just don't know whether I need a low, mid or high falluting AMD card for LE10.
The lower end NVIDIA, the GTX 1050, handles all my current needs (4K, upscale, x265 hevc, etc)
so will it's equal from AMD, the RX 560, have the same capabilities but with also the support for LE10?
I just don't know much about AMD cards.
The old HD 7770 handles x265 hevc on a 1440x900p monitor(DVI), but I've heard that it needs a DP to HDMI 2.0 adapter to play 4K, and I don't think it will upscale or handle a large 4K OLED screen.
Thanks for the reply
Then, if I build the new PC with the GTX 1050
Will an old Radeon HD 7770 card work for now in my HTPC - with a display port / HDMI adapter to 4K OLED
As is the GTX 1050 upscales to 4K, but I don't think the HD 7770 will?
What would be the ideal graphics card for LibreELEC 10.0?
I'm building a new desktop PC and was thinking of using the GTX 1050 that's presently in my LibreELEC HTPC (x86_64)
This way I could buy a Radeon graphics card for my HTPC and be ready when LibreELEC 10.0 arrives
Thanks for all the hard work .. the easiest update ever
4K playback is smoother + audio has more ambience
Three Cheers
intel i3-7100 / Gigabyte H270M-D3H / GTX1050 / STX Essence
Thanks for that
I've got a fair bit of music as well as video, so I'll keep all the bigger video files on the HDD & the smaller music files on the SSD
HTPC: LE 8.2.5 / intel i3-7100 / Gigabyte H270M-D3H / GTX1050 / STX Essence
