Build Highlights:

1. New firmware
   

   Pushed a firmware which fixes a bug with colourspace when encoding RGB images to jpeg. The bug resulted in jpegs not looking as bright as they should. In theory this can affect kodi, but I'm not sure if it will in practice. Encode only, so will only affect jpegs added to texture cache. The normal caching path does GPU decode->resize->encode which doesn't involve RGB so shouldn't be affected. I think video thumbnail generation may be affected (but they are disabled by default). Let me know if you spot any different looking jpegs in cache.

2. Kodi 17 Beta5 development opens
   
3. libcec 3.2.0
