Hi, First i have to say im a noob and don't have a lot of contact/experience with linux, apart from some pc installations and the rpi, which i mostly use just with xbmc. So, I have a old hp officejet g95 that i have been trying to set up as a printer with the pi and use the Pi as a print server. I h...

Anyone else bought one from them?
I was thinking of ordering from them, but im not sure if there would be any difference or downside to it.

Thank you both for the reply. @ghans, i don't think any protection was removed. I used dvd shrink and it created the usual folder structer ( audio and video folder with multiples vob files) and it should work like you said, but i just didn't know if xbmc could work as a dvd player software. I will t...

stewiegriffin

Hello. I have some dvd's that i extracted to my hdd in order to have them all in one place using xbmc and to acess them in other tv's without a dvd player, but im having some problems making it play the files. I tried them and it plays audio but not video and it also gets the info on the movie onlin...

Thanks for help!
I installed Firezilla and finally manage to log on into the Pi. I don't understand why it would stop showing up though, especially because the streaming is working fine. Well, i can still use it this way and that is what matters.
Thanks!

Hello. I wasn't sure if i should post this on this section or the mediacenter one, so sorry if im not posting in the correct place. - Im using my Pi as a media center to stream content from my laptop to the Pi and its working fine in terms of stream but the problem im having is acessing the Pi using...

stewiegriffin

Thanks for the help! I don't have the board with me now but next time i use it i will check out to confirm if its the newer version. RS is really losing in costumer service and in the way they handled the orders,at least the orders from around the same time as mine (summer) and we can see from these...

stewiegriffin

Thanks for the reply and sorry for only replying now. I ended up openeing the box and it seems to be working fine, but i do wonder now if i got the new version or not with the 512mb of ram because even though they said the boards now were shipping with 512mb i wonder after receiving a opened box but...

stewiegriffin

I just received my second Pi order from RS and my case also had the same problem seal broken. I just opened the package and the case was already half open and one of the seals is broken and it looks like this was already opened. I thought it could be from customes but since it was shipped from the U...

stewiegriffin

Thanks. Im testing it on the board i have now ( the other i mentioned is not for me but i ordered it and will be setting it up) and i installed samba and followed a tutorial that should let me see the hard drive connected to the pi on my computer. Problem is that after doing the tutorial i don't see...

stewiegriffin

Hello. I bought one raspberrypi board and the use i wanted to give to it was to use as a server to share a hard drive in a network, especially for media files but i was wondering if i could give it more use than just that. I also wanted a media center to have everything organized with xbmc, so i was...

I just placed an order for a raspberrypi for my dad from RS ( i also added a case for myself =D ) and the estimate delivery time is still 12 weeks =/ the order number is much higher than when i bought mine, it seems that they have a lot of orders - 10101xxxxx - =/

stewiegriffin

Got a code 2 days ago from RS to buy a Pi ( this one will be for my dad) and i got 12 weeks of expected delivery. Now thats a long time =/ is anyone getting the same time also? Is there any good chance that number would go down? Because with 12 weeks only in September the Pi would arrive.

stewiegriffin

No one? Hasn't anyone had this problem or know what can it be? Is it a problem from the hdmi cables ( tested 2 that work fine with other devices), a problem from my TV or is the actual Pi board?

stewiegriffin

Hello. I recently received my RaspberryPi and have been setting it up and using xbmc because i plan to use as media center. I do have a problem with it and i don't think its from the images i put on the sd card because it does this with all. When i start the Pi i get this white noise that is very an...

stewiegriffin

Hello. I finally got my raspberry pi and have already put an image of xbmc on an sd card, one of the recent builds but im having a problem in the begining. It makes this white noise on tv and it doesn't stop until i play a video and after that it won't appear again, unless i turn it off/on. So its b...

stewiegriffin

Im a bit confused with the order numbers from rs right now =/ neilward order on the 22 of may and got the order number 26xx , but i order on the 21/5 and got the order number 29xx , but with the same 3 week for dispatch. Maybe RS has some problem with their system, because i also had registered my i...

That question about searching youtube and typing text has been haunting me lol I had decided to get a media center remote when i first thought of using the PI as media center because it seemed more practical and cheaper. But now that i think about it, i do plan to use some youtube and i never know i...

stewiegriffin

Text i don't really expect to but searching youtube yes i probably will search some videos. Could i do that just with the remote or can it be used as some kind of keyboard?

stewiegriffin

I don't think my Tv has CEC unfortunately. I looked at that remote also on dealextreme, looks similar to the one i posted so it would probably work. But now i wonder, should i just get the remote for xbmc or should i invest some more and get a small wireless keyboard like this : http://www.ebay.co.u...

stewiegriffin

So do you. Its starting to seem more complicated than it is,but at the same time i do like to play around this kind of stuff. In the PI i could test everything better, probably 2 more weeks of waiting ( no more word from RS since i made the purchase). I wanted to have things prepared to when the ras...

stewiegriffin

Just did that. Thanks. Still do know if it will work on the pi. Right now im trying to compile and the create openelec by self usng VM to emulate the pi. Is there any option on VM to let you boot from the sd card? This way i would see if it worked or not. Edit : Also, my sd card doesnt even show tha...

stewiegriffin

Im honestly going crazy with this lol and i don't even have my pi here, i just want to get things ready. I downloaded a image i found on a blog that has only 1.80gb, write it with win_imagewritter and all good but i don't know if this is all i have to do or not. Is there also any way to test on the ...
