Pretty happy with this OpenELEC 7.0.0 Jarvis 16.1 bug fix release for the Core:
Went Cherry Picking a few commits from Sam N (OSMC), MrMC and Koying and plugged in some nice additions and fixes.

Went Cherry Picking a few commits from Sam N (OSMC), MrMC and Koying and plugged in some nice additions and fixes.
Plus:
- Backported the PVR EPG search bug fix from Krypton.
- Tweaked Codesnake's 4K resolutions patch to allow for smpte24hz displayed on a 3840 screen width.
- SSH password changed to "ol". I was sick to death of typing openelec !
- Did some Video Axis arithmetic coding so you can run the Kodi GUI in 1080p @ 50/60Hz and play 2160p video @ up to 30Hz. OE. auto refresh switches and scales the video to fit the entire TV screen now, not just the top left corner.
- Added some hardware / software video acceleration options for mpeg2 and mpeg4 for flexibility with Interlaced mpeg2 TV mkv's and old xVid clips.
- and the much wanted YADIFx2 full motion software deinterlacing for 480/576i mpeg2 DVD's or broadcast SD only TV. Very nice indeed.
- Playback of decent quality low bitrate 720p 10bit HEVC is possible via Software decoding when amcodec is switched off.
- Channel changes for broadcast mpeg2 576i TV are quicker with mpeg2 set to 720p and up in the video options. Let YADIFx2 handle deinterlacing.
- I could swear the Octa Core GPU in the S812, results in a slightly faster Kodi GUI with OpenELEC on the Core vs the Penta Core GPU in the S905.
