NOOBS image - playing movies from SD card + network access?

Sat Dec 28, 2013 7:23 pm

Hi there,

I've bought an SD card pre-loading with NOOBS. First thing I did was install OpenElec for the media server, however I'm a little stuck on a few things.

1) I'd like to copy a few movies to the Noobs SD card to be able to play them, but the card appears full when inserting it into my PC - any tips on how I can access the space *I'm sure I have remaining* and copy the films over to play on my Pi?

2) Now that I've set up OpenElec, I'm not sure how to gain access to network - I have a wifi dongle attached - any ideas how to get my Pi talking to my network and connected to my PC?

Thanks for any help

Kind regards

•Once the Raspberry Pi has booted up, go to Programs > OpenELEC OS Settings and select Network tab.
•In the Network tab, set the Network Technology as WLAN, Network Interface as wlan0 and WLAN SSID as your network’s name.
•Scroll down a bit and set WLAN security and WLAN Passphrase according to your home network’s settings.
•Click OK and reboot the system
easy as that

Thanks Phill, will give that a go.

Anyone know how to copy movies onto the NOOBS SD for viewing in OpenElec?

Cheers
