Ok, I have stored media on the NUC Msata, played it, and lags. I have tried VLC with all codecs, windows media player etc... Lags.
Something definitely to do with the NUC.
How does warranty go with buying O/S? I purchased this NUC from Amazon but like in Australia......it takes a good 15min to move the ethernet cable to get it to engage with the NUC ethernet port and work, same as the display port, it's so fiddly, you can't just plug them in, you have to sit there and fiddle with the cables until you hit the "sweet" spot and it connects....Maybe I just got a dud NUC?
