Raspberry Pi

Time for another beta of OpenELEC 4.2 the embedded distribution of XBMC (soon to be renamed Kodi). 4.2 Beta 3 of OpenELEC includes XBMC Gotham 13.2 beta 3, a new version of FFmpeg, an updated kernel and updated firmware for the Raspberry Pi.

OpenELEC is currently my favourite distribution of XBMC and I use it on my Raspberry Pi.
