how to install silverlight on raspberry pi

Set up the mount points - you need to create local folders to hold the mounted network drives first, so I went for the following steps which creates them under the osmc users home directory: On my computer, fire up bash and connect to the Pi via SSH:Įnter the password when prompted and you should be in I also turned on AirPlay 'just in case' - although most of the devices don't have anything suitable to stream. I wanted to change the webserver port to 80, but that's only been fixed post Alpha 4.

Set the Audio output to at least 'audio jack' (or possibly both if you want to test it on the TV first) Revel in the wonder that is OSMC running on your telly box.Ĭhange the skin - there are few known issues with the default skin - I'm currently using Metropolis, but might switch to Conq as it seems even lighter (and I'm not really going to be seeing it).Ĭhoose a web server addin of your choice - I'm currently really liking Chorus, which works nicely on Chrome and is responsive enough to have a 'remote' view on mobile devices. Insert the SD in the Pi, insert the wifi dongle and mouse and connect it to the TV before powering on

Install OSMC on the SD card, setting up the wireless connection during the installer - this is currently the only way to configure this The process I followed was then (I'm mostly documenting this so that if I have to do it again, I'll have one location to refer to): The OSMC Installer (I went for the Windows one) - currently Alpha 4Ī SSH client - what confused me here was the reference to PuTTY in the docs - I thought I had that as part of GitExtensions but Plink (described as 'a command-line interface to the PuTTY back ends') is not really - so I used Bash that was installed by Git and that worked a treat - but I'm sure the proper PuTTY client would be fine as well Read Access to the Music, Videos and Photos sharesĪ tiny USB wifi dongle (or one very much like that)Īn 8GB SD card (they recommend a class 10, mine's currently a class 4)Ī TV with an HDMI port and its remote (for initial configuration)Ī stereo amplifier with an AUX port and some speakers (we're running the Pi headless) So I've got together the following hardware:Ī Windows Home Server, with the Guest user enabled as follows: I've finally decided that as we're decluttering the house* we need a better way to access all the music that currently sits on the media shares of an original Windows Home Server that we use for backups and media storage. I've had a Raspberry Pi (original model B) sitting around at home for about a year, and I've been wondering what to do with it for most of that time.
