OpenELEC 8.0.4 is a bugfix release to the OpenELEC 8.0 stable series of the Linux-based operating system based on the popular and cross-platform Kodi Media Center software. As expected, it ships with the latest Kodi 17.3 release that patches the infamous subtitle hack discovered recently. On top of that, OpenELEC 8.0.4 enables Regulator and Extcon support on all builds, ensures PNG support is built with SSE support for 64-bit builds, enables Kernel NEON mode for Raspberry Pi 2 builds, as well as several more SoC sound drivers for both Raspberry Pi and Raspberry Pi 2 builds.
