Last night, chiyou traveled five kilometers in the rain to watch a movie. The whole film still follows the Hollywood commercial film model. Apart from a luxury car, an airplane, or a tank, the film is made into a pile of scrap iron, which means killing and killing people from the beginning to the end without stopping. There is no story at all. This is not the worst. The biggest failure is that the actress in the film is really ugly.

I have been working in this unfamiliar city for more than a year. To adapt to this unfamiliar environment, I tried to change my habits that have been developed for many years. I used to be quiet and also like movies. Of course, it's the kind of thing to enjoy, comprehend, and be touched. In this environment, it is basically a luxury to fully own a private space. In this environment, it also changes the original movie appreciation to a friend of three or five to go to the cinema for appreciation, A lot of gains are not shown here. In the cinema, I really cannot fully enjoy a movie. I think you should be able to imagine the reason.

Returning to the dormitory with a roommate is now, and the feeling of being cheated is gradually recovering. Well, I am still suitable for enjoying my favorite movies in a small environment, there is a ready-made RaspberryPI on hand. It is better to build a media center now. Now, the entire process is recorded, hoping to help people who like me.

Hardware preparation

HOST: Raspberry Pi B type.

Network: EP-N8508GS mini USB wireless network card.

Storage: flash drive 32 GB storage Class10 flash card.

* The speed of the card directly affects the speed of Raspberry Pi.

Keyboard: leibai E1050 wireless keyboard.

* The keyboard is not required. After the installation is complete, you can remotely control the XBMC or log on to the system via the mobile phone for maintenance.

Software preparation

Raspberry Pi's official recommendation system is based on debian's raspbian. However, since Raspberry Pi is used as a media player, it naturally needs to exercise its duties as a high-definition player. Therefore, XBMC is the main software article. There are currently three types of XBMC independent systems on RaspberryPi (that is, the XBMC interface is started on): OpenELEC, rasperipheral and XBian, which are basically the same, with OpenELEC coming early, the installation method is a little more complex than the latter two, and I have not used it yet; raspbms is officially supported. During installation, it requires full network support and a GUI setup program; XBian has a good reputation among gamers. It is relatively stable and has a deep understanding of Raspberry Pi performance. It does not require network support during installation. The following uses XBian as an example.

Raspberry Pi (Raspberry Pi) trial note

Introduction to Raspberry Pi (Raspberry Pi) installation, IP configuration, and software source

I. Create an SD card

1)download xbian_1.0_beta_2.img.gz

2. Download win32diskimager-v0.7-binary_system software _shumeipai.net.zip

Decompress the downloaded file by using the decompression tool. After the former is decompressed, a "*. img image file, which is the latest XBian operating system. The latter will get the win32diskimager image Installation tool.

1. Run win32diskimage

2. Select the SD drive letter under the imgfile "Device" in the software, and select "Write". In the displayed dialog box, select "Yes ".

3. Then start installing the system. Depending on your SD speed, the installation process is fast and slow.

4. After the installation is complete, a complete dialog box is displayed, indicating that the installation is complete.

Ii. XBMC Configuration

Recommended: Install XBMC in Ubuntu 14.04

XBMC is transplanted to Android to release daily build version

XBMC Romote: use an Android phone to control XBMC Media Playback

Installing XBMC Media Center 11.0 in Ubuntu

1. Power up and start. The XBian startup interface is displayed.

2. You will soon see the familiar XBMC image.

3. first, change the English interface to Chinese. in two steps, select SYSTEM> Settings> Appearance> Skin, and select Font on the right ], select [Arial based] on the page, and wait a few seconds. Step 2: [Appearance]-[International]-select [Language] on the right, and select [Chinese (Simple)] on the page )], wait a few seconds, and the screen will be in Chinese. Remember, it will be very troublesome if the operation is reversed.

4. After seeing the long-time illegal Chinese characters, we can easily modify the time zone. Because Raspberry Pi does not have RTC, the time is obtained through the network at startup. Choose system Settings> User Interface> language and choose China from Time Zone> country on the right ], [Time Zone] select [Asia/Shanghai ].

5. Previously, I used the control terminal on the Web page to control. We can see that XBian has enabled the HTTP service of port 8080 by default, and cannot set the port below port 1024. Choose system Settings> services> WEB servers ].

6. access the WEB service through a mobile phone. It allows you to operate on XBMC.

7. Airplay is required to receive multimedia information on IOS. Choose system Settings> services> AirPlay ].

Through the simple settings above, XBMC can work normally, but so far we have not seen how it plays local videos or further play online videos, the procedure is as follows.
