Does this hardware to run LE exist?

Hi,

I'm running LE on a Chromebox (CN62) and although I am satisfied with th eoverall experience, I am looking to upgrade in order to have 4K HEVC 10bit support.

The box is connected to a Samsung UE65KS8000 and a Pioneer receiver (supports HDMI 2.2, HD audio formats)

Here are the specifications I would like to have and that I can't seem to find in any available box:
-LibreElec support
-23.976/24Hz support
-Gigabit ethernet
-HD audio passthrough
-4K 10bit HEVC hardware decoding

From what I've read here, Nvidia Shield and Kaby Lake NUCs have some problems with HD audio passthrough, Vero 4K has a 100Mbit ethernet port, other boxes either struggle with 4K HEVC or don't support it at all.

So my question is, does this hardware exist (for a reasonable price, i.e. under 500€/$) ?

HipChat real-time chat-server (and instant-messaging service) for Kodi support?

Team-Kodi have surely heard about HipChat by now, so how about setting your own HipChat server for Kodi real-time support/chat-rooms?

https://www.atlassian.com/software/hipch...1#software

For those who have not heard about HipChat (by Atlassian), HipChat is kind or like IRC/mIRC for the modern age group-chats, it is a real-time group-chat and 1-to-1 instant-messaging service that unlike some competing products (like Slack) HipChat allows you to download and install your own stand-alone team-server for your project, meaning that you have full access control per chat room/users, integrations/addons, and server maintenance control.

https://www.hipchat.com/server

On the clients side the server supports both a web interface client as well as native client apps for Linux, Mac, Windows, Android, and iOS.

Integrations are available for GitHub and much more:

https://www.hipchat.com/integrations
https://marketplace.atlassian.com/addons/app/hipchat/

"HipChat Basic" license is free

https://www.hipchat.com/pricing

  • Unlimited users
  • Group chat
  • Instant messaging
  • File sharing
XBMC Foundation could also pay to upgrade Team-Kodi members to "HipChat Plus" license for $2 a month per user user to also get get the Kodi team additional features such as:
  • Group chat
  • Group video chat
  • Group screen sharing
  • Unlimited file sharing and storage
  • Unlimited message history
PS: I have no affiliation with HipChat at all, I just want to recommend it as an end-user because we have implemented our own HipChap server at work and it works great so far 1000+ users here, where we have “rooms” for most teams and projects at work.
