Here are the steps I took to configure my Raspberry Pi to be my XBMC DB and also run SickBeard. Info here mainly so that I have something to refer to in the future if I ever have to rebuild.

Install and configure Raspbian

Download image from http://www.raspberrypi.org/downloads

Copy over image to the SD Card sudo dd bs=1m if=/Users/alisterjupp/Downloads/2013-02-09-wheezy-raspbian.img of=/dev/rdisk5

Extend OS to full size of SD Card via raspi-config at first boot

Install required packages

sudo apt-get install python-dev python-setuptools

Set static ip

sudo nano /etc/network/interfaces Change the line that reads

iface eth0 inet dhcp

to

iface eth0 inet static

with info below following;

address 192.168.0.111netmask 255.255.255.0network 192.168.0.0broadcast 192.168.0.255gateway 192.168.0.1

update repo lists and upgrade

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get upgrade -y

Set to local time

sudo ln -sf /usr/share/zoneinfo/Australia/Perth /etc/localtime

Install MySQL

http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=HOW-TO:Sync_multiple_libraries/Setting_up_MySQL ``sudo apt-get install mysql-server

Configure MySQL to listen for connections from all network hosts

edit /etc/mysql/my.cnf

comment out the bind-address = 127.0.0.1

create xbmc user and assign permissions

CREATE USER 'xbmc' IDENTIFIED BY 'xbmc'

GRANT ALL ON *.* TO 'xbmc'

import database from NAS

Configure XBMC clients to use this database

        mysql
        192.168.0.111
        3306
        xbmc
        xbmc

        mysql
        192.168.0.111
        3306
        xbmc
        xbmc

          true
