Based on tip of OpenELEC master (e7c2584e, changelog) and tip of XBMC master (3163da30, changelog) with the following modifications: Build Highlights:
  1. New 4.4-rc6 kernel (clean build)
  2. Fall back to arm jpeg encode/decode when gpu is busy
    Quote:This change should allow RPi2 to use spare ARM cores to decode artwork when the GPU is busy, potentially resulting in a snappier GUI. No effect on RPi1.

    On RPi2, two jpeg jobs can be sent to the GPU and with this change, if a third jpeg is to be decoded before the first has completed it will be handled on ARM. Up to 4 images can now be decoded in parallel on ARM, while the GPU handles 2 more.
  3. Tonight's build appears to have made DVD menus worse - popcornmix is aware of this
    Quote:There is a fix to a specific bug that seems to have caused a regression. FernetMenta can reproduce so hopefully will be fixed soon.
  4. Fix for decoding of MythTV images without any file extension
