Unofficial- Gstreamer 1.8 images 2016-04 -based on- OpenPLi 4

Dear friends,
I've built new unofficial images for testing purposes based on OpenPLi.
These images are my work and not in any way supported by the PLi team.
Keep in mind that these images are experimental and I've only tested few of them.
So use them at your own risk.

A special thank you to: Taapat, christohpecvr, mx3L, joeuser and .:MarcinO:. for their help and contributions :)

So what's new compared to 2016-03 release:

- Gstreamer 1.8.0 stable release for all receivers (including spark)
- New bootlogo by .:MarcinO:.
- Upgrade OpenVPN to 2.3.8.
- Upgrade OpenSSH to 7.1p2.
- Upgrade OpenSSL to 1.0.2g.
- Upgrade vsftpd to 3.0.3.
- Patched and bumped Python due to OpenSSL not supporting SSLv3 anymore.
- Upgrade Japhar-IPTV List to 1.6.
- Upgrade rtmpdump from oe-alliance and let it provide librtmp as well.
- Upgrade ffmpeg to 3.0.1.
- Using christophecvr's multibox dvbmediasink with the following changes:
* Patch from mx3L to ensure PES is written with PTS, see:

This fixes potential freezes on Xtrend receivers, possibly others as well.
* Workaround christophecvr for fixing certain mkv files with DTS audio, see:

* I changed the dvbaudiosink on sh4 to always run in async mode, this fixes most of the freezes I get when stopping a video.
This is only changed for sh4 (spark/spark7162), not for other receivers.
* I've removed mx3L's patch for seeking in mp4 files, see:

I couldn't reproduce the freezing on my receivers and with the above patch I sometimes noticed the subtitles where completely gone after seeking.
* Patch from mx3L which enables AAC to AC3 transcoding V2 is still included.

- Still two patches by mx3L are included to servicemp3.cpp which are not upstream yet.
servicemp3_audio_switch_fix.patch: Should fix a potential crash when switching audio tracks in a certain direction:

Servicemp3_upstream_gst.patch: Faster IPTV Zapping:

Both patches were also part of my images in my last release and they have not caused any problems as of yet.
Maybe someone should review them again and merge them upstream? (maybe with some "if gstreamer 1.0" statement).

- Rewrote Dreambox kernel recipes which should fix certain models not booting.
Hopefully the V2 models are now working again.
- Fixed CrossEPG.
- Spark: (hopefully) Fixed resizing of the framebuffer.
- Spark: Fixed the v.format button, thx to joeuser.
- Spark: It should be possible again to install addons/plugins from the gui.
- Spark: add Taapat's flash-tools and mountspark script.
- Atemio Nemesis: New fan control plugin by .:MarcinO:.
- Merged latest openpli-oe-core changes.
- Merged latest OpenPLi enigma2 changes.
- Upgrade oscam to rev 11225 and applied joeuser's latest tryfix patch.
Don't discuss it here, instead go to streamboard.
- No more libeplayer images, only gstreamer for now.
- Some more minor things I probably forgot...

Many packages have been changed/updated so don't try to upgrade your existing image as this will most likely cause problems.
Instead flash a clean image.


Please refrain from any (cam/smartcard)-emulation or clone-receiver discussion.
Thanks for testing and be sure to report back your findings.
