Difference is that I have BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON_PYC_ONLY selected but I'm 
not sure if that could be the case because everything was working with 
BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON_PYC_ONLY as default option since XBMC 12 (I'm working 
with Amlogic SoCs).

I will test with BR2_PACKAGE_PYTHON_PY_ONLY enabled and patch disabled 
and will report back results.
