Build Highlights:

1. New firmware, with full frame 3D support:
   

   This update adds Full HD HDMI output (frame-packing). It is enabled by default but can be disabled in video acceleration settings.
   When enabled, 3D modes will use full 1080p resolution (rather than half-SBS or half-TAB).
   This is particularly useful for MVC content where you will get the full 1080p resolution for both eyes.
   
   This is a first for Kodi. No other platform supports full resolution playback of 3D BluRay MVC files using Kodi's internal player.
   
   Currently the gui will be rendered as half-SBS or half-TAB (and expanded), but the video will be full resolution. You can confirm the 3D mode with
   "tvservice -s" which will report "3D FP" when in full resolution mode.

2. Fix opening PVR grouped recordings/folders (@zaphod24)
   
3. Fix for PVR ArgusTV crashing (@evanspae)
