@HomerJAU, my Odroid N2 has been grinding to a halt repeatedly struggling with my 3D rips, so I'd love to update - could you please add me to the list for the 2nd round if it's not too hassle that I'm in the EU?

Sure. I’m not sure about shipping/taxes. Maybe you can look into that please, just so you know what to expect (if you don’t already).

Can LibreElec play 3D? Or do you mean 4K? These NUCs run 4K perfectly, HDR10 but no Dolby Vision.

The NUC supports a 4K UI.

I'm on CoreElec. 3D both horizontally and vertically, yes. These days, my MKVs last usually around a half an hour, ISOs are no-go practically, maybe when the 'droid was brand new, can't really remember as I was using Oppo as well.

But will this NUC with LibreElec play 3D? I don’t know? I still have a 3D JVC projector in my garage, has not been used for about 8 years.

Hm, nevermind - if not, 4K support is a big enough dealmaker for me.
Will look into shipping/taxes properly, but I guess that ordering from Rhino and SDE has trained me quite well.
Maybe one more question: do you think I actially need the BT remote if I'm absolutely happy with the Yatse app in my phone?

 

[HomerJAU]

You can run Kodi happily using a smart phone to tablet as a remote, but the Bluetooth remote is small and light and cheap so won’t affect shipping cost or taxes. But if you don’t want it, it can be removed from your order, with a price reduction.

Up to you. If you have the old Minix A2 or A3 that’s a much nicer remote but not made now. I use A3s on my two main systems.

Thanks. Will gladly have the remote as another option then, no need to fiddle around with the order.

I'm very much just a lurker, but I'd like one of these if being in Australia isn't a problem.

I think I have two spare NUCs that are coming in within the next couple of weeks, you can have one. I only have BEH size though.

Where abouts are you in Oz?

 

[gmgmgm]

I'm in Leura, NSW 2780.

 

[HomerJAU]

I’ve not heard of that before. Where is that?
