Some positive feedback for #0504. I've had success with:
-1080p mkv @ 23.97 (h.264 + 5.1 DTS-MA/7.1 DTS-MA, TrueHD, DTS)
-DVD rips to mkv
-various rips of my DVDs to MP4
-1080i mpeg2 ATSC live tv using tvheadend
-720p mpeg2 ATSC live tv using tvheadend
-Pictures from various cameras (Nikon, Canon, Fuji, Olympus, mobile phones)
-Music in VBR MP3 and lossless flac
All my content is playing nicely.
Kudos to all contributing to the Pi, Kodi and the various other places Kodi draws from!

Sorry to ask again. But I haven't got an answer. Can we still expect 3D Iso support?

As of #0505 my Pi2 is completely borked...
Whenever I try to enable the VU+/Enigma2 PVR add-on, KODI gets into a continuous loop.
I had to re-image my sd-card.
I tried the following path:
Freshly installed OpenElec 5.0.8
Milhouse #0505 update
enable VU+ addon
*BOING*
Freshly installed OpenElec 5.0.8
Milhouse #0504 (working)
enable VU+ addon (working)
Milhouse #0505 update
enable VU+ addon
*BOING*
Also, the repeated keypress will be missed. Browsing became slow again, it felt like the original OE 5.0.8
Finally, I think the new SD card driver has some hickups. The system just randomly stalls for about 10 seconds and then continues...
I did not notice this behaviour using the old driver.
#0504 is nearly perfect for me, using the old driver and a slight overclock. I'll stick to this version for a while.

Thanks, I didn't know i could kill the process...Would have saved me a lot of configuring again :-)
I'll try to find another SD card and reproduce the crashlog.

I have the same issues
#0505, Pi2
Whenever I try to enable the DVBViewer PVR add-on, KODI gets into a continuous loop.
The good news : OMXplayer playback MPEG2(1080i) be smooth again(as #0411)

Can't do anything without a crash log.

@anyone:
Playing around with a RPi-B rev.1 (256 MB) running #505 (/storage is on USB stick) I noticed that:
- the swapfile in .cache is not created/used (disabled it completely eventually)
- the noram option in cmdline.txt is ignored? Same amount of free RAM (around the 80 MB mark) althought the new SD driver shaves of a couple of MB's. gpu_mem=112 and cachemembuffers are set to 0.
Boot time is around 18 secs which is pretty decend for a 256 MB Pi, considering I'm using an old "crap" 256 MB SD card to boot. Had hoped that the noram option would give me a bit more RAM so I could bump up the gpu_mem setting or have a bit more MB's to spent on Kodi. But maybe I just misunderstood the noram option......
Overall pretty impressed with Isengard.

"noram" is always the case now, as loading SYSTEM into RAM is no longer supported - the benefit is negligible but wastes over 100MB RAM (not that loading into RAM ever worked on a 256MB Pi).
For swap, try ruunning configrpi256.sh to enable swap and increase swappiness.
cachemembuffers sounds like an old/deprecated setting. Try not to include settings in advancedsettings.xml unless you are sure you need them - trust the defaults, as old settings are likely to make performance worse than better.

As a plus; pvr iptv simple works like it's a real tv. Switching is smooth and fast. No trouble with kodi rebooting.
