Raspberry Pi Media Director

[phenigma]

For developers who are currently getting their feet wet on 1204 alpha you can now (soon) create Media Directors with a Raspberry Pi Model B 512MB.  There are quirks and there is a lot that doesn't work.  Enough functionality exists for me to call this an 'alpha' version.

So that people do not have to sort through endless forum posts to figure things out I will use the wiki for most relevant information.

MD creation instructions are available in the wiki - http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/RaspberryPi

Development status can be checked/followed on the Porting Raspbian wiki page - http://wiki.linuxmce.org/index.php/Porting_Raspbian

Bug reports should be made by filing trac tickets against the component "Raspbian/RPi MD" at http://svn.linuxmce.org/

I'll do my best to answer questions and help people out.  Find me on irc.

Wow.  I've been really busy.  There are certainly some known issues with lmce and the rpi.  The integrated OMX_Player is not functioning at the moment.  I know what I need to do to get it working it's just finding the time to make it happen.  Mounts are working to NAS devices but there seems to be a bug with accessing shares located on HDs that are on the Core or other MDs.  Use a NAS if you want access to media.  Please file extremely detailed bugs in trac with me as the owner for any bugs that you do not see in trac already.  Thank you so much for testing!  I will try to get some more work done here very soon.

Mhm.  That'll take a bit of work to support.  Great news though!

Hi

I found a bug in "SetupAudioVideo.sh". When running SetupAudioVideo.sh I get;

Code: [Select]

root@moon226:/usr/pluto/bin# ./SetupAudioVideo.sh
./SetupAudioVideo.sh: line 49: Video_settings: command not found

ERROR 1064 (42000) at line 1: You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near '' at line 1

Line 49 says

Code: [Select]

Video_settings = GetDeviceData "$PK_Device" "$DEVICEDATA_Video_settings"
Should be

Code: [Select]

Video_settings=$(GetDeviceData "$PK_Device" "$DEVICEDATA_Video_settings")After this change it works fine.

Damn the little things!    Thanks SBCC!

Pesky little bugs!
Thanks again for your efforts.

One other note... not sure if I should start another thread for this but after the last update the RPi orbiter video remote is not controlling the video. I have not looked into it much. I was going to trouble shoot a little 1st.

I will say that I just installed on a RPi B+ and it went very smooth. These things are so cool. Great job! Thanks Jason!

Here is as good a place as any for now.  If you pastebin the log I may be able to help interpret what is happening.  There are a few bugs that I am well aware of but have not documented in tickets.  OMX_Player and the omxplayer interface are big experiments for me.
