Based on tip of OpenELEC master (595d0499, changelog) and tip of XBMC master (613593fa, changelog) with the following modifications: Build Highlights:
  1. vdr-addon v4.3.9
  2. PR:6415 included in newclock4 - enables Chapter thumbnail extraction in Bookmarks OSD
    • Performance feedback welcome on this change, as it may be necessary to disable by default on Pi1 and leave enabled on Pi2. There will be a GUI setting eventually.
  3. Added: PR:3895: Use neon-vfpv4 fpu on RPi2
    • Potential performance improvement - see PR for details.
  4. Updated splash video download with wait for network
    • Network wait will timeout eventually. It's a background process, so any waiting shouldn't delay Kodi startup.
