[Nenad]

==== Creating Xbian image with CouchPotato, SickRage and Transmission for Raspberry Pi ====
Below is a link to updated instructions (included script for autoremoving completed torrents)

=== Creating Xbian image on MicroSD/SD card ===

Recommended at least 8gb card with a speed of reading and writing 40Mbps

1. Download Xbian installer from http://www.xbian.org/getxbian/

2. Select version: Xbian 2014.12.15 rpi
Additional information: Some early version cannot be updated and you have to change update servers.

3. Insert your microSD/SD card into Raspberry Pi, follow wizard to end (if you don't finish wizard, you won't be able to connect via ssh).


=== Connecting to ssh via Mac Os X Terminal ===
Change ip address of your xbian (default username - xbian).
ssh xbian@192.168.x.x
Enter password: raspberry or raspberry

Steps to use commands in right order:

1. Check and get new updates
sudo apt-get update
2. Install package p7zip for extraction zip files
sudo apt-get install p7zip-full
3. Upgrading all packages to the latest version
sudo apt-get upgrade –y

4. Installing CouchPotato:
sudo apt-get install -y -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confdef" -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confold" xbian-package-couchpotato


5. Installing Transmission:
sudo apt-get install -y -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confdef" -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confold" xbian-package-transmission

6. Install dependencies:
sudo apt-get install python-cheetah git-core -y

If for some strange reason this code doesn't work, please go to: http://www.htpcguides.com/install-sickrage-raspberry-pi-usenet-torrent-tv/ and copy it from there. Then will definitely work.

7. Install a working unrar for the Raspberry Pi:
wget http://sourceforge.net/projects/bananapi/files/unrar_5.0.10-1_armhf.deb


8. Install the unrar package:
sudo dpkg -i unrar_5.0.10-1_armhf.deb

9. Git clone the SickRage installation into Raspbian:
sudo git clone https://github.com/SiCKRAGE/SickRage.git /opt/sickrage

10. Make Xbian owner:
sudo chown -R xbian:xbian /opt/sickrage

11. Test to see if it works:
python /opt/sickrage/SickBeard.py –d

12. Install Upstart:
sudo apt-get install upstart
Confirm with Yes

13. Create the SickRage upstart script file
sudo nano /etc/init/sickrage.conf

Paste this SickRage upstart script (without long line)
Raspbmc Note: if you are running Raspbmc remove the setuid and setgid lines. Change the exec line to su – pi -c “exec /opt/sickrage/SickBeard.py”

14. Run the service to see if it works:
sudo service sickrage start

16. You may still not be able to access it unless you reboot:
sudo reboot


=== Extra information: ===

At step 4. you can use one of these packages:

nzbget
sudo apt-get install -y -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confdef" -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confold" xbian-package-nzbget

sickbeard
sudo apt-get install -y -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confdef" -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confold" xbian-package-sickbeard

headphones
sudo apt-get install -y -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confdef" -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confold" xbian-package-headphones

This include all of them with couchpotato and transmission
sudo apt-get install -y -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confdef" -o Dpkg::Options::="--force-confold" xbian-package-download

=== Default port of packages: ===

Transmission: http://x.x.x.x:9091/

NZBGet: http://x.x.x.x:9092/

Headphones: http://x.x.x.x:9093/

Sick Beard: http://x.x.x.x:9094/

=== If you have some problems with SickRage, you could try this: ===
Removing folder:

cd /
cd opt
sudo rm -r -f sickrage

Now repeat steps from 9 to 14.

=== Samba write access: ===
1. Connect to Xbian via terminal or Putty.

1. Enter default username: xbian and password: raspberry or raspberrz

2. At the prompt, enter:
sudo nano /etc/usbmount/usbmount.conf
3. In Nano (a text editor) find the line:

SMBSHARE=no

4. Change

SMBSHARE=no
to
SMBSHARE=yes

5.Exit Nano and save (Control+X, Y).

6.Reboot
sudo reboot
7.You should now be able to connect to you Pi in Windows using SMB with \\XBIAN\ or \\192.168.1.149\ (check your ip on Xbian) or find your Pi in your Network and have write permission.

=== Samba share protected with password ===

In default is enabled Public=Yes, but with this option on windows, doesn't require password and guest user have full permission, to disable this, follow these steps:

If you want to check if this is enable, type command:

sudo testparm -s

First you have to change password and enable username for samba share:

Change password for username:
sudo smbpasswd -a xbian

Enable account:
sudo smbpasswd -e xbian

sudo net conf setparm xbmc-backup "guest ok" no

Try this if step before didn't worked:
sudo net conf setparm Name_Of_USB_Drive "guest ok" no

Now there shouldn't be anymore: Public = Yes, check with:

sudo testparm -s

Reboot sytem:
sudo reboot

Try on Windows, open Explorer (WIN+E), at address bar type \\ip.of.your.xbian and try to open folder. Now should ask for username and password.


=== Change username and password for Transmission: ===
sudo service transmission stop</code>
cd /
cd etc
cd transmission
sudo nano settings.json

find rpc-password= “insertyournewpassword“

find rpc-username= “insertyournewusername”

CTRL+X, Y in ENTER

<code>sudo service transmission start</code>

=== Access to web gui remote to Transmission: ===

cd /
cd etc
cd transmission
sudo nano settings.json

find "rpc-enabled": no,

change to

"rpc-enabled": yes,

find "rpc-whitelist": "here are some ip addresses that could access to transmission",

change it if you want to access from everywhere. Change to:

"rpc-whitelist": "*.*.*.*",

Option to enable or disable restriction of rpc-whitelist:

Enabled:

"rpc-whitelist-enabled": true,

Disabled:

"rpc-whitelist-enabled": false,

=== CouchPotato ===
In settings must be different folder for downloaded movies, otherwise movies wouldn't be moved/copied to your folder!! (Settings->Downloaders->Transmission->Directory)

Example:
/home/xbian/downloads/Movies/

=== If Xbian Config Gui doesn't start in XBMC/KODI ===

rename 30_packages.py to 30_packages.tmp

xbmc
mv /usr/local/share/xbmc/addons/plugin.xbianconfig/categories/30_packages.py /usr/local/share/xbmc/addons/plugin.xbianconfig/categories/30_packages.tmp


kodi
mv /usr/local/share/xbmc/kodi/addons/plugin.xbianconfig/categories/30_packages.py /usr/local/share/xbmc/kodi/addons/plugin.xbianconfig/categories/30_packages.tmp
