OpenELEC_Helix (Milhouse) - Version: devel-20140701005041-r18661-g07fa4d8

Based on tip of OpenELEC master (07fa4d8, changelog) and tip of XBMC master (eb4cf83, changelog) with the following modifications:

• Includes newclock3 patches
  
• Excludes the OpenELEC fernetmenta patches due to conflicts with newclock3
  
• Excludes the OpenELEC linux-01-RPi_support patch in favour of sourcing these and possibly more recent patches directly from kernel branch rpi-3.15.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.
  
• Includes RPi-specific libCEC commits from mk01/libcec. See build #0527 for details. Also double-key suppression.
  
• Increase scan interval of PeripBusCEC from 5000 to 60000, reducing CPU loading by about 2% (1GHz Pi) every 5 seconds (even when CEC is "disabled")
  
• Includes libnfs master with directory caching support
  

Build Highlights:

New firmware.
New kernel 3.15.2.
New newclock3 patch that fixes jpeg decoder hangs, needs to be checked for regressions:

I wouldn't mind getting new commit on newclock3 in a test build:
https://github.com/popcornmix/xbmc/commi...9acd3155e7

Seems to fix three different "jpeg hang" bug reports. I'd like to be sure it doesn't cause any regressions before adding to gotham branch.

Please report any artwork that doesn't cache/display that worked previously.
