So your AVR won't show it but you're still getting HD audio. It does not pass through DTS MA and TrueHD, but it does decode it to LPCM. It direct plays mkv BD rips w/o any hiccups on a wired connection. I set-up my RPi2 embedded with RasPlex as opposed to the OpenELEC version.

If I ever want to do gaming more seriously, I would probably get PS4 or something. And I may not be using other functions much. Also, how's PQ? One problem I have with this gadget is I feel I would be using a gaming console to watch movies, reminds me of my days of using PS3 to watch blu-rays using a PS3 controller. Is there a goto guide for setting up Openelec on this? In the Kodi forum there was a chromebox EZ setup, I was hoping for a equivalent 'Installing Openelec on Raspberry Pi2? Don't worry, look here' thread.įor Nvidia Shield: so this can pass-through DTS HD-MA and Dolby TrueHD to AVR? I didn't follow the thread in detail but initially it seems this was not possible.

It could be the ultimate box for movie watching.Ĭharles R, trying out Raspberry Pi2 seems the least drastic approach since it is most like chromebox, and is cheap.

I had given up hope on full BD menu until now. I would be following it to see how testing goes though it is exciting for a new product. Other stuff can come later.īlackssr, yes I only learned about Dune HD SOLO from that thread. My immediate need is to be able to watch local content first. I don't use Plex and coming from chromebox, is more familiar with Kodi. It's only when you want 'one box' that will handle your 1:1 Blu Ray RIPs *AND* stream netflix *AND* put that game pad to use for something more than the kind of Angry Birds-esque gaming found on Roku/AppleTV/etc, that the Shield really separates itself from the pack as a clear #1 choice.įor me, it's an all-in-one solution. Official Jarvis release has to be right around the corner, I'd think, at which point that version would be available in the Play store, if you're averse to sideloading.Īs OrlandoD indicated above, their are unofficial Kodi builds that bitstream HD-MA and TrueHD on Shield, as well, if the decoding of the official Jarvis version is a dealbreaker for you.īut if you don't value streaming media services like Netflix or Hulu, and don't intend to do any gaming on it (like GeForce Now), I'm not certain that it's a clear-cut winner over other alternatives like a Dune. Plex is bitstreaming HD-MA, today, with the Google-Play-Store version, and Kodi is properly decoding (not bitstreaming) both HD-MA and TrueHD with the official Jarvis 'Release Candidates'. Nvidia Shield - question mark: No HD sound capability, poor PQ? Wait for Dune SOLO 4K - full BD menu without cinavia are you kidding me, is this the holy grail or an unproven dream?Ħ.

Himedia Q5/Q10 - if my files are ISO and BDMV, does it mean I strike off this option due to forced subtitles issue?Ĥ. Raspberry Pi2 - capable of 3D, but what does it take to set up this thing, drawback relative to chromebox?ģ. I have not researched a lot, but my choices appear to be:Ģ. Online streaming (don't use netflix, may have use for youtube)

Full 3D decoding - don't have 3D TV but good to prepare for future Full BD menu without cinavia - but very very nice to have Good developmental support or no major PQ or buggy issues HD sound capability - DTS HD-MA, Dolby True HD Note that I don't live in the USA and may need to import.ġ year on, what is the best media player option (non-HTPC) for BD movies (BDMV and ISO)? My connection is to AVR and TV and served from Synology NAS. Ok my chromebox can't power up after slightly more than 1 year.
