OpenELEC_Helix (Milhouse) - Version: devel-20140714224300-r18733-g78c03dc

Based on tip of OpenELEC master (78c03dc, changelog) and tip of XBMC master (02eacc8, changelog) with the following modifications:

• Includes newclock3 patches
  
• Excludes the OpenELEC fernetmenta patches due to conflicts with newclock3
  
• Excludes the OpenELEC linux-01-RPi_support patch in favour of sourcing these and possibly more recent patches directly from kernel branch rpi-3.15.y
  
• Excludes the OpenELEC xbmc-master-newclock3 patch in favour of sourcing these and possibly more recent patches directly from newclock3 branch
  
• Default setting for "Show RSS Feed" changed to disabled
  
• Disabled "Total Duration" in Confluence (see build #0221 for details)
  
• ALSA is enabled and any suitable hardware should be available in XBMC Audio Settings
  
• FIQ FSM is enabled by default. See initial post for more details.
  
• Includes RPi-specific libCEC commits from mk01/libcec. See build #0527 for details. Also double-key suppression.
  
• Increase scan interval of PeripBusCEC from 5000 to 60000, reducing CPU loading by about 2% (1GHz Pi) every 5 seconds (even when CEC is "disabled")
  
• Includes libnfs master with directory caching and file read-ahead support
  
• Enable zram with LZ4 compression as a kernel module. See guide. See post #605 for config patch.
  
• Includes PR4990: Allow larger font size
  

Build Highlights:

WARNING: Due to recent XBMC commits, this build may crash (seg fault) during startup. This is most likely due to missing null pointer checks that still need to be added to the code (eg. PR5030, PR5032). One addon that causes a problem is skin.grab.fanart, so move that out of your addon folder until safe to move it back.
