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.
Configuring Raspbmc
The Programs menu on the home screen provides access to the Raspbmc Settings menu
(shown in Figure 8-7) 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 Raspbmc system is continuously crashing, the
Programs menu can provide important tools for resolving the issue.
Clicking the Raspbmc Settings option under the Programs menu will open a window with
three tabs. The first tab allows you to adjust the network settings, including disabling DHCP
and setting a manual network configuration (see Chapter 5, “Network Configuration”, for
more details). If you needed to set the Raspberry Pi to use a manual network configuration in
other distributions, this is the place to do the same in Raspbmc.
