![]() Since you connected your RPi to your network, it probably already has an IP which you can find by hitting System Information under System. OSMC is a great interface for your Raspberry Pi, but sometimes you’ll have to dive in the Linux behind it to install things, or simply to do things OSMC can’t. Now you’re done with this, you should be looking at something similar to this (yes, I prefer the Confluence theme, the default theme looks very different for OSMC these days): You’ll find your attached HDD under Video’s > Files, where you can add your folder for TV shows and Movies and let it be indexed.You can control it with the mobile app for Kodi (XBMC), by keyboard/mouse or, if your TV is HDMI-CEC compatible (most HDTV’s are!), even with your TV remote. Feel free to look around in the interface.Eventually you’ll come back to your TV and it has booted OSMC! You’ll see a boatload of progress bars filling up, a lot of old-school blue screens, leave it alone for a while.So you can drop the ethernet cable if you do it that way! Now, with the latest model, you can just connect to Wi-Fi, so you can navigate to Programs, My OSMC and then set up a wireless network from there.Now insert the SD card in your Raspberry Pi, hook it up to your TV, your HDD, ethernet (I advise using a cable at first) and then a MicroUSB cable to get it powered.It contains a very easy installer that runs through the steps of getting a system image on the card and even setting up wireless internet. Head over to and download the installer for Windows, Mac OSX or Linux, whatever you’re running.Plug your SD card in your computer, maybe format it if needed.It gets regular updates and keeps getting more impressive every month! So let’s get started: But Sam Nazarko adapted it to the Raspberry Pi, pretty impressive project for a (then) 19-year old student. Kodi itself is already an amazing OS to experience content, completely supported by a community. OSMC is the best choice for a media center, since it’s basically a Debian version of Linux with Kodi (XBMC) on top of it. An app to make SSH connections (Terminal on Mac, Putty on Windows)įirst of all, we’ll be installing the operating system.Internet connection (the RPi3 has Wi-Fi built in, so that’s the easiest option. ![]()
