Instructions and scripts to set up a Bob Ross auto-playing Raspberry Pi.

Instructions

  1. Install Raspbian lite image: https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/installation/installing-images/linux.md
  2. 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
  3. Reboot.
  4. Change password from default ('raspberry') to something secure.
    $ passwd
    Important! Change password only after changing locale / keyboard layout and rebooting!
  5. You can now login through ssh instead of being locked in front of the TV with a keyboard in your lap.
  6. Change ssh port to 22222
    $ sudo nano /etc/ssh/sshd_conf
  7. Reboot
  8. $ ssh -p 22222 pi@rossberry
  9. $ sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get tmux
  10. $ tmux
  11. $ sudo apt-get dist-upgrade -y
  12. Eat a snack or something.
  13. Install RetroPie:
    https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/Manual-Installation
  14. Install Kodi:
    https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/KODI
  15. Set Kodi to start on boot - configurable through RetroPie.
  16. Reboot.
  17. Plug in USB drive containing Bob Ross.
  18. Set to auto-mount:
    $ sudo mkdir /media/usb
    $ sudo su

    echo "UUID=WHATEVER_YOUR_DRIVE_UUID_IS /media/usb vfat defaults,ro 0 0" >> /etc/fstab

    reboot

  19. Import media library into Kodi.
  20. Copy 'autoexec.py' into '/home/pi/.kodi/userdata/'
