Adding a UPnP
music source to
Xbmc
You can also use the same menu to add an external hard drive as a source to Xbmc by select-
ing its entry in the initial list. Most external drives will appear automatically, and do not
need to be added explicitly—you only need to add a drive as a source if its contents do not
appear in Xbmc's menus.
Coniguring Rasbmc
he Programs menu on the home screen provides access to the Rasbmc Settings menu
(shown in Figure 7-7) where network settings, software upgrade settings and various system
settings can be adjusted. Normally, this menu can be ignored—however, if you're having
problems connecting to the Internet or the Rasbmc system is continuously crashing, the
Programs menu can provide important tools for resolving the issue.
Clicking the Rasbmc Settings option under the Programs menu will open a window with
three tabs. he irst tab allows you to adjust the network settings, including disabling DHCP
and setting a manual network coniguration (see Chapter 4, “Network Coniguration”, for
more details). If you needed to set the Raspberry Pi to use a manual network coniguration in
other distributions, this is the place to do the same in Rasbmc.
