OpenELEC_Helix (Milhouse) - Version: devel-20140503235917-r18335-gb2d3626

Based on tip of OpenELEC master (b2d3626, changelog) and tip of XBMC master (0efea90, changelog) with the following modifications:
  • Includes newclock3 (except for e256130, a patch to avoid hammering the GUI, which has been replaced with a static spinner)
  • Includes Python regex package for evaluation purposes. Initial benchmarking indicates generally positive (and in some cases, significant) performance gains. See this post for a description of how to test effectiveness of this package with addons
  • Excludes the OpenELEC linux-01-RPi_support-4b3694f patch in favour of sourcing these and possibly more recent patches directly from kernel branch rpi-3.14.y
  • Excludes the OpenELEC xbmc-master-newclock3 patch in favour of sourcing these and possibly more recent patches directly from newclock3 branch
  • Default setting for "Show RSS Feed" changed to disabled
  • Disabled "Total Duration" in Confluence (see build #0221 for details)
  • ALSA is enabled and any suitable hardware should be available in XBMC Audio Settings
  • FIQ FSM is enabled by default. See initial post for more details.
Build Highlights:

Updated FIQ FSM fix. New music database version (46 -> 48) - expect slow initial start while database is upgraded.
  1. OpenELEC:
    • init: optimized wake-on-lan script
    • plymouth-lite: update splash, thanks to 'klojum'
    • iptables - adds state and iprange moduls
    • projects/RPi/xbmc: update advancedsettings.xml, this fixes #3079
  2. XBMC:
    • [musicdb] drop filename CRC from the songview - it's not used for anything useful, and the filename is indexed anyway (PR4604)
    • [musicdb] drop setting of unused strKaraLyrFileCRC column in karaokedata table (PR4604)
    • [dbwrappers] drop unused ComputeCRC() function (PR4604)
    • [musicdb] NULL out entries in the song, karaokedata and album tables that are no longer used. (PR4604)
    • [history] adds IsInHistory() to check if a path is in the history (PR4485)
    • [ui] when checking if we should return to the current directory or go to a new one when activating a media window, check the history rather than comparing the current path. fixes #15015 (PR4485)
  3. kernel 3.14.y:
    • fiq_fsm: fix dequeues for non-periodic split transactions. If a dequeue happened between the SSPLIT and CSPLIT phases of the transaction, the HCD would never receive an interrupt. See: raspberrypi/linux@b09a272
Texture Cache Maintenance Utility: Preload your texture cache for optimal UI performance. Remotely manage media libraries. Purge unused artwork to free up space. Find missing media. Configurable QA check to highlight metadata issues. Aid in diagnosis of library and cache related problems.
