R-Pi 2 Media Player

My Raspberry Pi 2 model B arrived and I've got OSMC Alpha 4 installed on a micro SD card. I was very impressed by the installation process, their installer is very slick. I didn't have any time to tinker with anything beyond getting it booted for the first time.

Here's my todo list:

switch to the default kodi skin; confluence (eases the change from XBian to OSMC)

I couldn't connect via ssh when I tried, I suspect the wifi device hasn't been detected

get the remote control working

plug the external drives which contain all our media into it

export the library from the old XBian setup (including watched status)

import library into OSMC setup

install and configure transmission

install and configure sickbeard

install and configure samba, so I can access the media files from my PC

Once I've switched us over to using this new OSMC system on the R-Pi 2 I can redeploy the old R-Pi as the base of my refactored RFID music triggering system. I've got a pair of speakers, another wifi dongle and external drive all ready to get that up and running. More on that as I get to it.
