But let’s see it HDMI audio pass-through is also working, and there are options for Dolby TrueHD and DTS HD, all good! Click to Enlarge Click to EnlargeĪ Rec.2020 video did not play properly (horizontal bands shown), so there are still a few issues with video playback, but it’s a development version, and I’m expecting it to improve overtime. I could play 4K videos with H.264, VP9 and 10-bit H.265, although with some artifacts at the beginning of the H.264 video, but I had no audio… I went to the settings, and changes the Audio device from “HDA Intel PCH ALC296VC Analog” that probably outputs audio via the 3.5mm audio jack to “HDA Intel PCH ONK TX-NR636 on HDMI #1”, and audio worked through my TV’s speakers. I went trough the setup wizard, and then configured the system to access videos on a SAMBA share. So I have tried and within a few seconds, I got to LibreELEC / Kodi 17 user interface. Windows Boot Manager should still be here (as default option), and there should also be a new “UEFI OS” option for LibreELEC. As the system reboots, press F7 until you enter the boot device selection menu. The installation script will then ask you twice to confirm your want to install LibreELEC and completely wipe out the target disk, and once you’ve confirmed the installation will take a few seconds, and you’ll be asked to reboot. This is where VMac Mini having two storage devices becomes convenient, as Windows 10 is installed in /dev/sda (128GB SSD), but the 32GB eMMC flash in /dev/mmcblk0 is no used at all, so I selected the latter in order to have a dual boot Windows 10 / LibreELEC installation. Install LibreELEC and OK to go to the next screen where I could select the installation device. Please ignore the vertical lines in the photos below as it’s just an issue with my TV. After that I inserted the flash drive into Voyo VMac Mini, and pressed F7 to bring up the boot device selection menu to select the USB flash drive, and within a few seconds I got LibreELEC installation prompt, so this looks good. After downloading LibreELEC-Intel.x86_, I tried to flash it (N.B.: no need to extract it) from my Ubuntu 16.04 PC with LibreELEC USB-SD Creator, but for whatever reasons neither the 32-bit nor the 64-bit versions of the tool would work, so I did this in a Windows laptop instead. He also implemented 10-bit HEVC support that will officially be available in Kodi 18 only and found in daily builds. The changes were mostly made by FernetMenta (Rainer Hochecker), and will be merged in Linux 4.10 and Mesa 17.0. The image is based on Linux 4.10-rc5 with the necessary drivers and Kodi 17. Reader Piotr who also happens to be a LibreELEC together with about 65 other team members, noticed it, provided me a link to a development version of LibreELEC 8.0 ( mirror link) working with Apollo Lake processors, and explained Ubuntu was not working because Linux needs updated Mesa and Intel drivers. I’ve just posted Voyo V1 VMac Mini review with Windows 10 this morning, and at the end I mentioned I quickly tried to run Ubuntu 16.04 without success.
