Install 8188eu Wireless Driver

  1. Make directory Downloads, then cd Downloads

  4. tar -zxvf install-8188eu.tgz
  5. ./install-8188eu.sh

Setup Wireless

  1. Run sudo vim /etc/network/interfaces
  2. Add the following at the bottom of the file (press i): allow-hotplug wlan0 auto wlan0 iface wlan0 inet dhcp     pre-up wpa_supplicant -Dwext -i wlan0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf -B Now the RPi will connect automatically to available Wi-Fi networks.
  3. Now add the following: iface usb0 inet static     address 192.168.42.42     netmask 255.255.255.0     network 192.168.42.0     broadcast 192.168.42.255 RPi can now connect through USB tethering from your Android phone. Press ESC and enter :wq to save and quit.
  4. Run sudo /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant.conf. Add the following: ctrl_interface=DIR=/var/run/wpa_supplicant GROUP=netdev ap_scan=2 update_config=1 network={     ssid="YOUR_SSID"     psk="YOUR_SSID_PASS"     proto=RSN     key_mgmt=WPA-PSK     pairwise=TKIP } Edit the network details, then ESC and enter :wq to save and quit.
  5. Run echo PATH="/sbin:\$PATH" >> ~/.profile
  6. Reboot with sudo reboot
  7. If everything is OK, wlan0 will be available when you run ifconfig

Install Kodi

  1. Run sudo vim /etc/apt/sources.list.d/mene.list
  2. Add the following (press i): deb http://archive.mene.za.net/raspbian wheezy contrib Press ESC, then :wq to save and quit.
  3. Import the archive signing key: sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-key 5243CDED
  4. sudo apt-get update
  5. sudo apt-get install kodi -y to install Kodi
  6. The installation added a user kodi. Our kodi user must be a member of these groups: audio video input dialout plugdev tty cinema
  7. Run the following command sudo usermod -a -G <GROUP> kodi for each <GROUP> above. If a group does not exist, create it with sudo addgroup --system <GROUP>
  8. To enable keyboard support in Kodi, add the following udev rules to /etc/udev/rules.d/99-input.rules: # input KERNEL=="mouse*|mice|event*", MODE="0660", GROUP="input" KERNEL=="ts[0-9]|uinput", MODE="0660", GROUP="input" KERNEL=="js[0-9]", MODE="0660", GROUP="input" # tty KERNEL=="tty[0-9]*", MODE="0666" # vchiq SUBSYSTEM=="vchiq", GROUP="video", MODE="0660"
  9. Kodi need at least 96MB RAM to run normally. To configure this, change gpu_mem in /boot/config.txt to 128: gpu_mem=128
  10. Edit /etc/default/kodi and change the following: ENABLED=1 - in order to start Kodi automatically on boot
  11. Reboot using sudo reboot and after the reboot, Kodi will start automatically

Setup and Customize Kodi

  1. If you have a Mac computer, you might want to share Airport content. In order to do that, you must install the avahi package: sudo apt-get install avahi-utils -y
  2. SFTP connect to the RPi with root user
  3. Upload kodi(TODO: Must upload .kodi to some cloud and put link here) directory to /home/kodi
  4. Go to the terminal, cd /home/kodi, then rm .kodi and sudo mv kodi .kodi
  5. Reboot and voila

Install Transmission

1. Install it with `sudo apt-get install transmission-daemon -y`
  1. Go to Downloads - cd Downloads
  2. Make Complete and Inprogress directories: mkdir Inprogress & mkdir Complete
  3. Change permissions to 770: chmod 770 Inprogress chmod 770 Complete
  4. Create Media directory: mkdir ~/Media, mkdir ~/Media/Movies ~/Media/TV\ Shows ~/Media/Music ~/Media/Pictures and sudo chmod -R 770 ~/Media
  5. Transmission runs by default with user debian-transmission. Let's add this user to group cinema so that it has rights to modify the directories we created: sudo usermod -a -G cinema debian-transmission
  6. Configure Transmission. Open Transmission settings: sudo vim /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json
  7. Replace the settings with these here: https://gist.github.com/gkostadinov/86e9768e153a7212db87
  8. Create a postprocess script that will run after a torrent completes: sudo vim /etc/transmission-daemon/transmission-postprocess The script runs Filebot and organizes your library.
  9. Add this content to the script: https://gist.github.com/gkostadinov/bbe96a58ae3d7cea4066
  10. sudo chmod +x /etc/transmission-daemon/transmission-postprocess and sudo chown debian-transmission:debian-transmission /etc/transmission-daemon/transmission-postprocess and sudo chown -R debian-transmission:debian-transmission /usr/share/filebot so that Transmission can run the script.
  11. Reload the daemon: sudo service transmission-daemon reload
  12. Open your browser and navigate to http://<YOUR_RPI_ADDRESS>:9091/
  13. Enter raspberrycinema for username and c1n3mat1c for password
  14. That's it! Now you can download torrents from here to your Raspberry Pi. Note: If the postprocess script does not work, it is propbaly due to permission errors. To fix this edit /etc/init.d/transmission-daemon and set USER to root (generally not a good idea, but it is an easy fix).
