Download OpenELEC 4.0.3

The third update of version 4.0 of the Open Embedded Linux Entertainment Center has been released. This Linux distribution is based on XBMC Media Center and can turn a computer into a full-fledged HTPC. OpenELEC is easy to install, maintain and use, as well as being small and lightning fast. In version 4.0, which is based on XBMC version 13, fewer different versions are offered. Images are available for AppleTV, Raspberry Pi, and a generic build for i386 and x86_64 environments. The specific builds for AMD’s Fusion and Nvidia’s ION platform, among others, have disappeared. Version 4.0.3 is based on XBMC Media Center 13.1 RC 1 and adds support for the Xbox One remote control, improvements in the sound card configuration module, and various bug fixes.
