Hey @PoliteSuka, when you get a minute, could you share what heat sink you're using?

neat they already made armor case for 4

Oh, wow! That actually looks pretty nice. Once you've got it all set up in a few days, could you benchmark it and drop an @ me so I don't miss it? I'm really curious about how well these different cooling solutions work.

there is also passive model too from that same thing @Iren Masot

just make sure to place any cameras etc tru that thing first as the thermal pads lock it down decently with the screws

Can the newest raspi already handle 4k playback?

yes/no

@Tervy I don't think they did , the usb controller doesn't line up

kk, thanks. I'm not well versed with Ali; it keeps defaulting to the Japan site instead of giving me English.

Would love to have some setup that would automatically aggregates newest film and TV releases but I'm too lazy to figure out how

probably some combination of Sonarr and Radarr on htpc

@Kimichiboi it does support 4Kp60 hardware decode of HEVC video ... buut anything software decoded is different thing

cant seem to find the benchmark now that i try to

but i think officialy it has "dual monitor support @ 4k"

>>> Fifa_WorldCup2014_Uruguay-Colombia_4K-x265.mp4 (4K, H.265, 60 fps) – First frame only for several seconds then video updates every 5-10 seconds with heavily gray frames, and frequent audio cuts. Eventually, lost mouse pointer and control of the system -> hard power cycle required

>>> MHD_2013_2160p_ShowReel_R_9000f_24fps_RMN_QP23_10b.mkv (10-bit HEVC, 24 fps) – First frame only for several seconds then video becomes gray, and system hangs

>>> Beauty_3840x2160_120fps_420_8bit_HEVC_MP4.mp4 (H.265) – First frame only

tho cnx-soft states that he had first distro spins for 4

so results probly vary in future patches

(he didnt get 4k desktop even to work with 4k TV :D

I'm assuming the system is still in its infancy, and will need future work to fully implement the hardware as shipped.

That, and the 4k support will be better put to desktop work rather than trying to stream two different 4k Crunchyroll feeds.

your other option is Rock64 if single desktop is fine for you (well single proper size hdmi port at least*

i think tinker board and odroids newest support it too

could make for a fun little project, rn I just use Plex on my main pc

buut ~cant say for sure

add Jackett to your list too for proper support

and ofc Sickrage if you want proper video library manager

aaaand what else there is to make it all in one htpc ?

(at some point you get frustrated to the list and either use DietPi-config tools for it or AtoMiC toolkit :D

and force love of god "Force Encryption" on every fucking thing

and with sickrage you get showsrage android menu for managing stuff more easily :P

but as always only watch open and free licensed movies <:thonkang:327933449597878312> as piraty is big no no

See, I was pondering on the Rock64, but I wanted an SBC for game emulation inside the case of a portable TV I scrounged from an old camper van.

Uhh, in other words I was wondering if the Rock64 would be better than the RasPi4 for game emulation. I think the Pi would be better overall for processing ability, as well as aftermarket support.

Like, the Rock64 doesn't have much of a community and the emulation scene will not be as robust.

as long as Lakka supports it is there that much problem
