content: getting raspberry pi media player to run (again) I wanted to share my story on getting my raspberry to run kodi again. How something simple can take hours Yesterday i enabled pvr addon on raspbmc kodi somehow this got the pi in a infinite reboot loop. i could press escape to terminal so i did apt-get update & upgrade there. All things updated and upgraded but it did not fix the reboot loop, in fact it removed my press ecape for terminal option.. So on to installing a fresh kodi on sd card.  the raspbian i used months ago was moved to the advanced part on the kodi website. I want a quick solution so i have three options; openelec, OSMC or XBian. First i tried Xbian it has it's own simple "sd card building GUI" unfortunately i got into some rescue mode after booting, stating my mouse was not valid.  On to the next, openelec here i had to use comand line to make te sd card boot, after copy pasting and altering the commands for my specific sd all looked well and files were transfered to my sd card. Turns out after powering on my raspberry the screen remains black. So i move on th my third option OSMC. In windows 7 installer installs but somehow does not recognise my SD card. So i boot into my linux (parrot os at the moment) i want to download installer and it turns out it has a "dirty" way of installing  editing my sources.list and add the repo. So i did this as my last simple option, and it worked  echo 'deb http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/home:/osmc/Debian_7.0/ /' >> /etc/apt/sources.list.d/osmc-installer.list  apt-get update apt-get install osmc-installer The installer recognizes the sd card and on starting the pi i get automatic installation. finally it works
