Media center con linux

POST INDEX

Anche linux ha i suoi media center, io come client ho provato XBMC
freeware multipiattaforma, nel senso che ha la versione per win mac e linux

Ottimo programma, bella grafica, legge da fonti interne, esterne da altri pc in rete con risorse condivise o da media server con protocollo UPNP .

Su Ubuntu e derivare la procedura per l'installazione e' la seguente:

1) aggiungere ai repository anche:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu/ jaunty main

2 ) installazione della public key dal un file contenente:

mediante il comando : apt-key add nomedelfile.key

oppure con la seguente sequenza di comandi da console in modalita' superuser:

1) gpg --keyserver http://ppa.launchpad.net/team-xbmc/ppa/ubuntu --recv-keys 6D975C4791E7EE5E
2) gpg --armor --export 6D975C4791E7EE5E | apt-key add -
3) apt-key add /home/lissa/Scrivania/xbmc-ppa.key

Reload del software e ricerca e installazione di :
xbmc e xbmc-standalone, naturalmente relative dipendenze

Alla fine in "menu-audio e video" sara' presente XBMC e inizia l'avventura
