Raspbmc/xbmc Subsonic plugin with video

August 27, 2013

Rough, I'll amend this later.

I know it's hackish and the seds are very nasty, but it seems to work so far. Path of least resistance and all that.

ssh in as pi user.

cd ~/.xbmc/addons

wget https://dl.dropbox.com/u/86110007/Subsonic%20for%20XBMC%20-%20Frodo.zip

unzip Subsonic\ for\ XBMC\ -\ Frodo.zip

find plugin.audio.subsonic/ -type f -exec sed -i 's/Addon.log/xbmc.log/g' {} \;

cp -rp plugin.audio.subsonic plugin.video.subsonic

find plugin.video.subsonic/ -type f -exec sed -i 's/audio/video/g' {} \;

cd plugin.video.subsonic/resources
