OpenELEC_Helix (Milhouse) - Version: devel-20140706073146-r18679-ge78d9de

Based on tip of OpenELEC master (e78d9de, changelog) and tip of XBMC master (d502f0b, 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 1.9.4 with directory caching and file read-ahead support
  • Enable zram with LZ4 compression as a kernel module. See guide.
  • Includes PR4985: [videodb] fix seasons update query for mysql
Build Highlights:

WARNING: New videodb version (79 -> 85) - database upgrade may take a minute or two.
New firmware.
Enabled zram as a kernel module.
  1. Firmware (Jul 05):
    • firmware: dispmanx: Fix snapshot scaling when a fullscreen dest rect is used. See: #295
    • firmware: dispmanx: allow rotations into 24-bit memory displays. See: #267
    • firmware: Add MMAL parameter for render stats. See: #287
    • firmware: image_decode: Move decode thread to second core. This improves jpeg decode time a little.
    • firmware: imagefx: Separate out the fast 1080i deinterlace algorithm. As the 1080i deinterlace doesn't require the 3 frames of context we can save ~6MB by requesting it explicitly
  2. OpenELEC:
    • libvdpau: update to libvdpau-0.8
    • oe_setup_addon: create missing folder (PR:3358, 1 commit, 2 files changed)
    • systemd: update to systemd-215
    • dbus-glib: update to dbus-glib-0.102
    • libffi: update to libffi-3.1
    • dbus: update to dbus-1.8.6
    • xf86-video-nvidia: update to xf86-video-nvidia-331.89
    • bluez: update to bluez-5.21
  3. XBMC:
    • [pvr] setting: enable option 'Close channel OSD after switching channels' by default (PR:4973, 1 commit, 1 file changed)
    • Minor changes to enable c++11 compilation (PR:4024, 4 commits, 49 files changed)
    • Url protocol compares (PR:4980, 8 commits, 8 files changed)
    • StringUtils::Tokenize: clarify, simplify and optimize (PR:4982, 1 commit, 1 file changed)
    • Tvshow multipaths parentid (PR:4977, 27 commits, 13 files changed)
    • CStdString removal part1 (PR:4976, 20 commits, 207 files changed)
    • Control access cleanup (PR:4739, 11 commits, 26 files changed)
    • Add support for ALSA channel mapping API (PR:4868, 4 commits, 4 files changed)
    • Fixed mapping for xbmc command "eject" for device "devinput". (PR:4979, 1 commit, 1 file changed)
    • ActiveAE: request best matching 5.1 layout from sink (PR:4938, 1 commit, 1 file changed)
  4. newclock3:
    • [omxplayer] Explictly choose deinterlace method for 1080i
  5. kernel 3.15.y:
    • Enable zram as kernel module, see configuration guide for details. The following linux.arm.conf patch is being used:
