Based on tip of XBMC master (4542af8, changelog) and tip of OpenELEC master (fbf7d43, changelog) with the following modifications:

• Includes newclock3 commits (except for 44129f9 which I've replaced with a static spinner)
  
• Includes PR4275: Use mmap to accelerate SQLite file accesses
  
• Excludes the OpenELEC fernetmenta patches (due to conflict with newclock3)
  
• Default setting for "Show RSS Feed" changed to disabled
  
• "Total Duration" in Confluence is disabled (see build #0221 for details)
  
• ALSA is enabled and any suitable hardware should be available in XBMC Audio Settings
  

Build Highlights:

1. OpenELEC: New Kernel 3.13.5
   
2. newclock3: New DVDPlayer commits:
   • [omxcodec] Fix stall on seek/trickplay - need to reset start flag

3. PR4275: Use mmap to accelerate SQLite file accesses

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).
