# Raspberry Pi XBMC DB  and Sickbeard Setup

## [Raspberry Pi XBMC DB and Sickbeard Setup](https://jeepmonkey.com/blog/raspberry-pi-xbmc-db-and-sickbeard-setup)

    24th Mar 2013   [mysql](https://jeepmonkey.com/tag:mysql#body-wrapper) [raspberry pi](https://jeepmonkey.com/tag:raspberry%20pi#body-wrapper) [raspbian](https://jeepmonkey.com/tag:raspbian#body-wrapper) [sickbeard](https://jeepmonkey.com/tag:sickbeard#body-wrapper) [XBMC](https://jeepmonkey.com/tag:XBMC#body-wrapper)  

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

```

### Install sickbeard
