FTP Client

Hi,

This is possible to stream media from my FTP server with Xbian installed on a Raspberry Pi 2?

Thanks,

Guillaume

Connect to your FTP server as a source in Kodi

You mean Xbian work exactly like Kodi?

Do you have a separate FTP server that you want to connect to and play files on XBian?

Yes correct, I have a FTP server runing on a FreeNAS machine in a rack.

Then you only need to add your FTP server as a source in Kodi.

Great! I already do this with Kodi on my Linux computers, I thought it was different for Xbian.

Also, how about Google Drive plugin, its the same thing on Xbian? Will Xbian support plugins like Kodi does?

[f1vefour]

Sure, most all Kodi plugins will work done.

Also, can I use a mouse and a key board attached to the Raspberry Pi 2 for control Xbian?

[f1vefour]

Yep, keyboard and mouse work fine.

Ah I forgot to ask, how I can add a plugin to Xbian, the Google Drive plugin by example came in a .zip file, how I can download the file with Xbian without a web broswer. There was a command I need to use?

[f1vefour]

Find the URL for the zip file and ssh into XBian then use wget

Code:

wget http://someplace.com/somefile.zip
