Instructions and scripts to set up a Bob Ross auto-playing Raspberry Pi.
- Install Raspbian lite image: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/linux.md
- Update raspi-config script,
set locale to US/English/UTF-8,
hostname to 'rossberry',
enable SSH support,
correct HDMI with overscan correction:
$ sudo raspi-config - Reboot.
- Change password from default ('raspberry') to something secure.
$ passwd
Important! Change password only after changing locale / keyboard layout and rebooting! - You can now login through ssh instead of being locked in front of the TV with a keyboard in your lap.
- Change ssh port to 22222
$ sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_conf - Reboot
- $ ssh -p 22222 pi@rossberry
- $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get tmux
- $ tmux
- $ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y
- Eat a snack or something.
- Install RetroPie:
https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Manual-Installation - Install Kodi:
https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/KODI - Set Kodi to start on boot - configurable through RetroPie.
- Reboot.
- Plug in USB drive containing Bob Ross.
- Set to auto-mount:
$ sudo mkdir /media/usb
$ sudo su - Import media library into Kodi.
- Copy 'autoexec.py' into '/home/pi/.kodi/userdata/'
- Reboot.
- Confirm Bob Ross plays upon bootup. If not, figure it out for yourself.
