Is there some kind of terminal script to update to the last build?. I don't have a PC at home right now, so I need to do it from the rpi itself.

Untested, but something like this should work;
Code:
cd ~/storage/.update
wget <URL of build>
reboot
Thanks.
What does the small colored square in the upper right corner of the screen mean. Is this the trademark of MilhouseHuh

Means you need a better power supply.

Ahh... I never would have thought about something like that, many thanks! Now I use a more powerful power supply and the square has gone.

There is a nice addon for this purpose.

Works like a charm for Pi2 and Milhouse Builds

@popcornmix
I fiddled around with gpu_mem setting in config.txt and it seems Pi2 does need more then the default 256MB. Currently running with gpu_mem=384 and this seems to work very well for heavy themes and other ram intensive settings. Maybe the default value should be set a bit higher?
This is a great add on, thanks for linking!

Thank you.

Does the addon work for Pi2 yet?
Yes

Thank you.

libnfs is only used by Kodi (nfs:// etc.)
thank you for your answer, So nothing to test for me on this new libnfs release Smile
During playback of a video I see on the display of cpu usage ("O") a value for W_fps changing between 7 and 9. This is regardless of the video (1080i; 720p). What I expect is a value about 25fps (PAL). The video reproduction is ok, no stuttering, no mutes. Approx. same values on Pi and Pi2. Am I wrong or is it a calculation error?
