I am running a Pi B with Raspian and XBMC with video connected to digital TV, powered USB hub
XBMC starts automatically at Pi boot and seems to work OK
I now want to connect to WiFi network to upgrade to Kodi and use Yatse. I have read that there is a GUI utility to connect to network but I don't know how to navigate to the NOOBS menu?
Additionally I am not sure how to get out of XBMC. I can EXIT and press ESC on keyboard. Which seems to give me command line but I cannot see all text as beggining of each line is off the screen to the left. Changing TV resolution or aspect ratio does not help.
How can I get to the network connection utility?

NOOBS is an Installer / Chooser and not an Operating System.wandiligong wrote:I am running a Pi B with Raspian and XBMC with video connected to digital TV, powered USB hub

XBMC (now called KODI) is Media Centre Software not an Operating System.
It would appear you may have installed Raspbmc Operating System ? if so see:
http://beginnerstech.co.uk/how-to-setup ... on-raspbmc
fyi Raspbmc has been superseeded by OSMC Operating System and has the KODI interface

Re: WiFi connection
Thank you fruit for info
I have followed the directions in the link but when
I get to WiFi manager it says "incompatible"
Text is not clear on old analogue TV I am using to get Ethernet cable to reach but it says "XBMC network manager front end configuration ( ?) from within XBMC. Requires network manager OS which are included In XBMCububtu"
Any suggestions of a next step appreciated

2. Download OpenELEC or OSMC because XBMC is dead, it's been replaced by Kodi.

Thank you for advice
The reason to connect WiFi was to upgrade to Kodi and use Yatse. Thought I could do this without dragging whole set up to vicinity of router and using Ethernet cable. Apparently not so now
I've set up cable may as well start again and download song
Re: WiFi connection
Hi,
I have a similar issue with my WiFi connection.
Firstly, I am new to Raspberry Pi.
I have Kodi and another O.S running via Noobs on my Raspberry Pi 2. Kodi works great through the Ethernet connection. But I'd ideally like to run it of my wireless network, using my Edimax nano adapter. Unfortunately the wireless network uses a Captive portal (i.e. if you log in to the wireless network with your laptop/phone it requires you to sign in via a webpage).
Is there a work around this for Kodi Raspberry Pi users ? some script or addon ?
Any help appreciated
