librtmp

To update the library librtmp download the newest version by RedPenguin from https://www.mediafire.com/?x4cvp5hl4m9xr (right now is inside the folder 3-16-15-Fixes/RasPi).

The name of the downloaded file is librtmp.so.0, but has to replace the file /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/librtmp.so.1.

Official support thread: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=162307

Keyboard Layout

There seems to be a bug in OSMC where the external keyboard is always English and can't be changed.

Bug report: https://discourse.osmc.tv/t/bug-report-hardware-keyboard-layout-not-working/3507

Avoid sleep (blank screen) after a long time suspended
