which ITX Board (ASrock) for VM / Kodi / LibreElec / OpenElec

[killeriq]

Hello,

 

I would like to collect some experience from users which are using ITX board in combination with NAS and VM device with HDMI out to Monitor.

 

My case:

I did some research on ITX boards and after ive found & bought fastest ASrock J4205-ITX board got 16GB Ram, tower, DC power source.

So ive installed unRAID - wanted to use it as NAS + Kodi media player at my living room.

Then ive realized that is not possible to pass-trough graphic card! So in other words you cant use any VM with monitor output - just via VNC so no 5.1 sound no media center...

HW wasnt cheap and i would like to keep it or maybe just change the board...do u guys have some other ITX board with 4 sata port which u can confirm its working?

 

Otherwise i have only those options:

 

1. wait for fix 

2. get some additional graphic card - please suggest which one

3. get different ITX board - please suggest which one

4. get Qnap which just work - they use some Celeron j3060 or others TS-451 / TS-451+ , TS-453

 

Thanks
