raspbmc not working

[Michelle R Powell]

Hi all,

I was excited to get my own copy of "XBMC" working that I spent the morning trying to get it to work.

I used two SD cards. one with the Raspian-wheezy installed on it and the target on a USB SD card reader/writer.

I cannot find where the instructions for the imager are right not but it is still installed on my "clean" Raspbian Install. this failed three times.

My larger and faster SD card is being set up for XBMC

I have tried the instructions under http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianDocumentation Multimedia and games, XBMC packages for Raspbian

I am about to build the thing the hard way.

Any thoughts?

Sincerely,
Michelle

there are two dashes in front of keyserver. typing does not work. cut and paste is much better.

when I  execute apt-get install xbmc is fails on two dependencies.

going to try it the long way.

Sincerely,
Michelle

run apt-get update and apt-get upgrade before running apt-get install xbmc

prepare to wait.

I have it working!

The problem...... my Signal processor. DVDO Edge did not like the signal. THe signal out of the Raspberry Pi is too  weak to cause it to auto switch as well.

I am going to try a different cable and see if it makes the difference.auto switch

Now I think I need the MPEG 2 CODEC. I have sound but no video.

Awesome, Michelle!   

I received my two Pis in the mail yesterday, and am hoping I'll have a little time this weekend to play around.  I'm super stoked! 

All -- we need to come up with a date (and location) for the March meetup.  A couple topics thrown out at the last meeting were:

* Telephony using Linux

* Some other software with a funny name that Seth suggested, but I don't recall.  :)

If anyone else has something to add to the list, please do!

I'm interested in hearing more about Linux telephony and Asterisk.  I have some experience with it from years ago, but that knowledge has decayed a bit.


Diaspora is what I suggested, but I don't know enough about it to present on it.  I'm guessing not many others do so we can save it for a time when someone is interested in learning enough to present on it :)

In the nebulous future I want to construct a MAME box running on Gentoo, so that might be an interesting topic sometime.

I could probably present a bit on aircrack-ng and stuff, but I'd want Mike to be there to assist :)

I think Steam on Linux was mentioned.  Heck, maybe games under Linux could be a presentation topic sometime, encompassing MAME, Steam, crossover, wine, playonlinux, FOSS games, native ones etc.


If anyone uses Linux to interface with an iOS or newer Android device, a presentation on how they go about it would be interesting.  I'm not quite familiar with how mtpfs works yet.


I'd also like to know more about sabnzbd, sickbeard, couchpotato and headphones :)


Anyway, those are my suggestions for future topics!
