    I've got a really nice office chair as well, and because of how my desk is situated, I have a perfect height shelf for resting my legs, which also happens to be where my main tower's heat output gets vented. Gaming in the winter is quite nice, all that heat keeps my feet toasty <3

     

    during the summer it sucks.

     

    Care to share your chair model? xD @Vaux Yours as well, please. Only if it is something worth mentioning, of course. Mine isn't...:$

    Intel NUC5i5RYH. Unfortunate because it's the last revision they did before upgrading to HDMI 2.0, so I can only get good 4K out of the mini-Displayport. Still, very nice little box.

     

    I am looking at this baby at the moment. Sometime soon I feel the need to upgrade my playback device.

    Dell P2715Q 4K IPS screen (only 27" but since I sit super close up it's still proportionally larger than most people's TVs), with an Energy Take Classic 5.1 speaker set (absolutely phenomenal set of speakers) + Denon AVR-S510BT (cheap but more than sufficient for my setup), both hooked up to an Intel i5 NUC running a customized Kodi build with MadVR that also hooks into my lights and fans for automatic enable/disable. I've tested a ton of USB-based remotes for this system too, and my preferred one is an Aerb AirMouse mini wireless keyboard/remote. Works perfectly once you customize the buttons a bit (using a combination of Kodi's key remapper + AutoHotkey), and far superior to bluetooth solutions since there's no wakeup/shutdown time, and superior battery life.

     

    good stuff.

    I am just curious, what exact i5 NUC model are you using?

    Lol, hijacking is ok by me!


    I'm jealous of all this custom Kodi build talk! I know practically nothing about it. I've never done any diving into software-related stuff. I've always found the fun in building and tweaking hardware, networking, etc.

    If it weren't for my family being so used to Plex, I'd love to introduce Kodi and some crazy add-ons

     

    Hijacking? Who? Me?! Neoooo, never! :P

     

    I don't and never have used Plex. Should I? It never appealed to me for some reason. I think it was mainly because of its limitations in the decoding department. Doesn't it decode on the server level and not on the device the movie actually plays on? 

     

    That custom Kodi build is nothing complicated other than getting the executable, double-clicking it, watching it install and starting it. ^_^ Playing video with my Zotac System and Kodi DSPlayer works rather nicely, @Catar, even though it is just an i3. So far, I used default madVR setting only, however. The one frame dropping devil in my testing so far was Catar's remux Ghost in the Shell SOC. 

     

    And now I stop because hijacking is a problem.... :/;)

    In theory you could probably build it yourself if you wanted to run it on Linux, but it's probably more effort than it's worth =P

     

    that said, I dunno if your CPU is necessarily strong enough to run the full load here. I'd be interested to hear your results. Might have to turn down some of madVR's features though.

    Thinking about it, I'll probably try both, LibreELEC and the Kodi DSPlayer. I already have Win 10 installed on the second drive of the barebone PC. If I manage I'll post some results. Not here in this thread, though. ^_^

    anytime, also I just saw your edit.

     

    Get off OpenELEC, the owner seized control and started doing dumb things. The real OpenELEC team forked off and formed LibreElec (https://libreelec.tv/)

     

    LibreElec if I want to stay with a linux based system. I'd need to switch over to a windows based Kodi install for all the bells and whistles filter-wise, no?

    My build is a bit further modified, but this thread should help you out: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=223175

     

    Basically, you're going to be running a build that uses DirectShow as the player, which means you can load up all sorts of filters into Kodi, including things like madVR, Lav, XySubFilter, SVP, etc. 

    Thank you. I never really searched for Kody and madVR because OpenElec was/is my way of doing it. I am starting to consider changing my system.

     a customized Kodi build with MadVR

     

    You have just seized my attention nonchalantly. Please, tell me more. Maybe this isn't the right place for it? I've always bemoaned the absence of MadVR from Kodi. Kodi version? Base system? Did you compile it yourself? Where can I get it? 

    My prefered method: 

     

    ZOTAC ZBOX ID45 Barebone Intel Core i3

    OpenElec 

    Samsung TV 55'' FullHD

    Headphones Lioncast LX50 Gaming Headset
