    I've now got a 13th gen nuc as htpc using libreelec. There is an intel graphics driver issue with 4K HDR & 23.97fps playback (frequent audio dropouts...), but someone on the forum created a patch that does seem to work, and really happy with it so far. Also Libreelec allows you to install docker, so i can use the nuc (which is way overpowered for just htpc usage) also as a server :).

    I do hate that the maintainers of libreelec are like 'yeah, it's an intel bug, so we won't put the workaround in our official release, nor do anything to make potential users aware of it while we can detect that they will probably need it"... Open source developers don't really like their users it seems....

    Can you link the fix for me? I’m looking to replace my shield but looking for something that does hdr/dv and can do audio pass through. While a nuc is over powered that doesn’t bother me. I’m more concerned about having a dedicated device that does one thing well (hopefully after set up it’s hand off).

    That’s. I’ll take a look at this…never heard of it before. Looks like the Linux Plex htpc app has some of its own issues as well. Trying to find something that works well.

    the basic goal of libreelec is to just run kodi and nothing else. So it's really good for a htpc, it's always running kodi :).

    But since you can add docker to it, i'm also running it as a small server, using portainer to manage the containers, and it's doing great double duty :). If however you want a real desktop environment, this is not the solution for you :).

    Yea, after reading about it you’re correct. The search continues
