My XBMC customisations

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install samba
sudo apt-get install unclutter

sudo apt-get install mysql-server


sudo apt-get install openjdk-6-jre
(for subsonic)

after installing xbmc library updater
cp /home/justcop/.xbmc/addons/script.libraryautoupdate/autoexec.py /home/justcop/.xbmc/userdata/autoexec.py

ls -l /dev/disk/by-uuid
to find id of storage disk

add to /etc/fstab
UUID=6886F8261C1EFA83 /mnt/Storage ntfs defaults 0 1


swap keys for ssh, remember for some reason this allows logging on as just the ip, cannot include the name, can then mount /mnt/Storage using script on desktop PC. See other post.

If xbmc won't load copy in only .xbmc file from home directory


sudo nano /etc/samba/smb.conf

[TV]
comment = TV
path = /mnt/Storage/TV
force user = justcop
inherit permissions = yes

bind interfaces only = yes

append /etc/rc.local
echo "USB002" > /proc/acpi/wakeup

sudo mysql

CREATE USER 'justcop' IDENTIFIED BY 'justcop';
CREATE database xbmc_video;
CREATE database xbmc_music;
GRANT ALL ON xbmc_music.* TO 'justcop';
GRANT ALL ON xbmc_video.* TO 'justcop';

ctrl+c

sudo nano /etc/mysql/my.cnf
comment out bind address

    or run media watchdog from login

    # Media folder watchdog script which triggers XBMCs library update function
    # on changes in the media folders. Change path to file with directories to watch below
    # prior of using the script!
    #
    # Requires:
    # - bash
    # - inotifywait
    # - xbmc-send
    # - a file containing a list of folders to watch
    #
