  2. OUTLINE • Motivation • Introduction • Problem Statement • Assumptions • Proposed Solutions • Results • Conclusion • Future Work • References • Acknowledgements

  3. MOTIVATION • Create something useful, that has a use in my home. • Practical everyday Application for a Raspberry Pi. • Alternative to other similar devices. • Importance: why keep all the extra devices when you could stream it anywhere in the house, efficiently.

  4. INTRODUCTION • Got a TV with no media player, and it’s not smart, This may be for you • A few topics had to be looked at • If a Pi can stream media • What does it take to get it too work • What is needed to keep others out

  5. PROBLEM STATEMENT • Create a Raspberry Pi based media center, using the Pi as a client for a Linux based server. Keep it small, price competitive, and have the ability to customize it • Sub problems • Try to keep it secured • Keep it running fast and stable

  6. Assumptions • You already have a home network set up • You have a TV with a HDMI port • Someone isn’t dedicated to getting into the system • You have a computer to install the server too • You have an android based mobile device

  7. PROPOSED SOLUTION • Using OpenELEC as the operating system on the Pi • Linux with a media server software installed • Configure these to talk over a network • Load up server with desired media (music, images, movies, etc.) • Install an XBMC app to phone to control Pi and begin streaming.

  8. RESULTS • Successfully implemented system • Not using the desired software • Was able to get video, music, and images to stream. • Installed apps, however quality varied. • Not as secure as I wanted, however has login, and other features.

  9. CONCLUSIONS • With the results anyone could turn a Raspberry Pi into a powerful media center • Through this project I've had to learn much aboutLinux, command line, XBMC, and Samba. • This project also test my troubleshooting abilities, everything that could go wrong, did

  10. FUTURE WORK • Try to get an alternative to Samba working • See if alternative programs offer more in terms of security • Get another pi to use as a low power serve • Suggestions • Thanks for your attention • Email mikehosk098@hotmail.com
