OpenELEC (Milhouse) - Version: devel-20140217235854-r17722-gfd78503

Based on tip of XBMC master (282fc49, changelog) and tip of OpenELEC master (fd78503, changelog) with the following modifications:

• Includes newclock3 commits (except for a3d263c which I've replaced with a static spinner)
  
• Excludes the OpenELEC fernetmenta patches (due to conflict with newclock3)
  
• Default setting for "Show RSS Feed" changed to disabled
  
• ALSA is enabled and any suitable hardware should be available in XBMC
  

Build Highlights:

1. newclock3: Fix for files with no valid pts values - should fix AVI's which have no video playback when using DVDPlayer, also fixes audio sync with packed video
   
2. Firmware: Updated 17 Feb build.
   • Fix for intermittent audio failures with hdmi passsthrough
     
   • Fix for hdmi audio crackles when sync video to display is enabled
     
3. OpenELEC: "ffmpeg mess" resolved, no need to revert ffmpeg commits now
   
4. OpenELEC: Add BCM2708 DMA devices support
   
5. newclock3 (updated in #0217c): Fix for xbmc.bin crashing after initial boot during DecodeJpegToTexture

Additional Testing Notes:

1. Testers should try adding the following entry to their advancedsettings.xml:
   
   Code:

   <advancedsettings>
  <video>
    <defaultplayer>dvdplayer</defaultplayer>
    <defaultdvdplayer>dvdplayer</defaultdvdplayer>
  </video>
</advancedsettings>
   and report if it is better/worse than omxplayer. You can still play files with omxplayer using the context-menu "Play using... OMXPlayer".

2. The following settings are no longer required in config.txt and should be removed:
   
   Code:

   no_hdmi_resample=1
hdmi_stream_channels=1
   no_resample_audio is now a default, and hdmi_stream_channels is switched based on audio content. For the time being when using passthrough, 2.0 speaker layout should continue to be used (you will still get 5.1 with AC3/DTS).
