HDCP is a possible cause.

I have a 1 meter 18 GBps cable going from the NUC to the receiver. This is the cable

I have a 5 meter 48 GBps cable going from the receiver to the TV

I haven't had any problems playing Blu-rays, so I really don't think cables are the issue.
Edit: Bob mentioned back on the 10th testing the Id with HDMI in text mode. Any progress on that? I'd like to be able test the text mode and see if I still have the hdmi connection issues. As it stands now HDMI is only available using the GUI mode.

@Zimmy
Thanks for responding re: playback of mkv files. That's exactly what I was looking for!
Given your experience with the 4K file though, I agree that it might be better to look at something else going forward.
BTW, I did read your previous posts on HDMI. Since I just got my Sony A8H, I'll post back if I run into something similar!

Has there been any resolution to the open issues about 4k and MKV video playback? I am considering the Id since native JRiver support on QNAP was killed (and that's why I bought the darn QNAP in the first place!). I have a Marantz SR5015 reciever, similar to the one Zimmy writes about, so his questions are relevant to me. I recently posed some related questions about the Id to JRiver and here were their responses:
- does my PC need to have the same version of JRiver as what's installed
in the Id?
They do not need to be the same version. In the case of syncing
libraries between the Id and Media Center, both versions must be running
the latest version of Media Center 22 or newer. This mainly has to do
with a library change that happened around that time.
- Does the Id license enable me to upgrade the PC version?
No. The Id license is for the Id only. It cannot be used for any other
Media Center platform.
- I want to pass not just audio, but video from my NAS > the Id > to the
receiver. What is the resolution cap on the video (4k?)? This will be
a wired connection
It should be able to handle 4K video fine.
- can the Id stream video to other devices via UPnP? I have an Onkyo
NR-737 receiver and a Samsung smart TV in another room that would be the
destination (either device, preferably the receiver). This will be a
wireless connection. What is the resolution cap on the video (1080p?)
My experience with Samsung smart TVs is that they usually support DLNA,
so they should just show up as a playback zone. I have no experience
with UPnP or Onkyo receivers. It would be better to ask on the forum. As
for resolution, 4K might even work over WiFi.
- can my PC serve as the metadata editor with the Id as the client? I
don't want to have to use a wireless keyboard connected to the Id to
edit metadata on my TV.
Yes, but the setup is different if the Id is the client or the server.
- can I install Roon on the Id as another player for when I want to
access certain features like the artist bios, lyrics, and such?
No. The Id is a closed system. Users do not have terminal access for this.
- will JRemote work as it did when JRiver was installed on the QNAP?
Yes

This is the device I use to stop the my NUC falling out with the TV,
It is a passthru device normally but learns the EDID of the TV and presents it to the NUC all the time so it believes the Telly is still there works like a dream for me?

I'll look more into EDID as you suggest. What about something like this that converts HDMI audio to Multi-Channel LPCM and use the 6-channel surround RCA input in my receiver.

That sounds like it would allow me to bypass the HDMI video altogether and could theoretically be a solution.

Try one of these
It basically learns the EDID of the TV and always presents it to the NUC ...
I have an arrangement where I have cable from Nuc to Audio Extractor to TV
The route now is NUC, Audio Extractor, Detective, TV
If the TV is off or not selected Nuc still see's it as a Panasonic TV.
The company I bought it from let me have on sale or return
