MOTIVATION Create something useful, that
has a use in my home. Practical everyday Application
for a Raspberry Pi. Alternative to other similar
devices. Importance: why keep all the
extra devices when you could stream it anywhere in the house, efficiently.
4
INTRODUCTION
Got a TV with no media player, and it’s not smart, This may be for you
A few topics had to be looked at If a Pi can stream media What does it take to get it too
work What is needed to keep others out
5
PROBLEM STATEMENT
Create a Raspberry Pi based media center, using the Pi as a client for a Linux based server. Keep it small, price competitive, and have the ability to customize it
Sub problems Try to keep it secured Keep it running fast and stable
6
ASSUMPTIONS You already have a home network
set up You have a TV with a HDMI port Someone isn’t dedicated to getting
into the system You have a computer to install the
server too You have an android based mobile
device
7
PROPOSED SOLUTION Using OpenELEC as the operating
system on the Pi Linux with a media server software
installed Configure these to talk over a
network Load up server with desired media
(music, images, movies, etc.) Install an XBMC app to phone to
control Pi and begin streaming.
8
RESULTS
Successfully implemented system Not using the desired software
Was able to get video, music, and images to stream.
Installed apps, however quality varied.
Not as secure as I wanted, however has login, and other features.
9
CONCLUSIONS With the results anyone could turn a
Raspberry Pi into a powerful media center
Through this project I've had to learn much about Linux, command line, XBMC, and Samba.
This project also test my troubleshooting abilities, everything that could go wrong, did
10
FUTURE WORK Try to get an alternative to Samba
working See if alternative programs offer more in
terms of security Get another pi to use as a low power
serve Suggestions Thanks for your attention Email [email protected]
