. 16 Oct 2014 Turn your old Android phone into a media center If you have a non-smart TV with USB support and an Android phone, this will show you how to turn them into a poor man’s media center. It will include a torrent server with remote access and automatic torrent downloads, Samba and SSH. In my case, I’m using a Samsung LE32E TV and an Alcatel OT-918 smartphone.

First, you need to make sure your device is rooted. See this guide for. Next up, if you’re also using an older phone with a smaller internal memory, you need a partitioned SD card, with a larger ext2/3/4 partition and the rest as FAT32.
I’m using a 32GB SD card with a 1GB ext2 partition and the rest as FAT32. I definitely recommend using a class 10 SD card. This means your Android kernel needs to have support for ext partitions. After you’ve partitioned your SD card, and made sure you have ext support in the kernel, use or something similar to mount the ext partition. Then connect your phone to your WiFi router and set a static IP for it. If you’re using Android 2.3, go to Settings WiFi Settings Advanced and press Use static IP.
Set the IP to something like 192.168.1.XX. Optware for Android We’ll start installing software on the phone. You’ll need to use a Linux system for this. Using a Live CD should also work. Is a lightweight package manager for Linux.
We’ll install it on the phone and use it to get the rest of the packages we need. Make sure you have adb installed.
If you’re running Ubuntu you just need to install the android-tools-adb package. Connect the device to your PC and, in a terminal, run: sudo adb devices Your device should show up in a list. Download the.
If your Android device has a small internal memory, edit the optware-install-via-adb.sh script, and change the OPTWAREDIR variable to point to an /opt folder on your mounted ext partition. The variable should look like OPTWAREDIR=/data/sdext2/opt. Otherwise, if your device has plenty of internal memory, you can just leave the script as it is. Now run the script with:./optware-install-via-adb.sh This will install on your device. We now have a proper package manager on the device, so we’ll open a shell and start installing packages. Connect to the adb shell and start the Optware shell with: adb shell./data/sdext2/opt/start.sh Now install everything related to Transmission (torrent server), FlexGet (automatic downloads), OpenSSH and Samba. Ipkg update ipkg install nano ipkg install transmission ipkg install openssh ipkg install perl ipkg install samba36 ipkg install gcc ipkg install python26 ipkg install py26-setuptools easyinstall transmissionrpc easyinstall flexget # in case of easyinstall error, edit opt/lib/python2.6/distutils/distutils.cfg easyinstall periscope # for subtitles easyinstall pip # just to be able to remove packages Now that we installed the packages, we’ll start configuring them.
Configure SSH We’ll enable connecting by SSH using your public key. I’m assuming you already have your SSH keys set up on your system. Edit the /opt/etc/openssh/sshdconfig file, and set the RSAAuthentication and PubkeyAuthentication to: RSAAuthentication yes PubkeyAuthentication yes You can edit the file with Nano, since we installed it before: nano /opt/etc/openssh/sshdconfig Edit the /opt/home/root/.ssh/authorizedkeys file, and paste the contents of your local public key file (./pub) in it. Same as before, you can use Nano for this: nano /opt/home/root/.ssh/authorizedkeys Now restart OpenSSH with: /opt/etc/init.d/S40sshd Sometimes when restarting OpenSSH, it will complain about the host key. If it does, create it with: ssh-keygen -t ecdsa -f /opt/etc/openssh/sshhostecdsakey -N ' Exit the ADB shell, and you should now be able to get on the device using SSH: ssh root@192.168.1.X Now that we have SSH, you can also log-in onto your device using something like for easier file access. Configure Samba I won’t go into much detail about the Samba config. Download my file, and copy it into /opt/etc/samba.
Consider adjusting your personal believed method and giving other people who might read this the benefit with the doubt. I would like to show thanks to you for bailing me out of this particular setting. Its greater if you take into consideration what other people might have to say rather of just going for a gut reaction to the topic. Serial ranczo sezon 9 chomikuj.
Now restart Samba with /opt/etc/init.d/S08samba and it should be working. There is an issue with Samba that is preventing you from deleting any files on the device. I haven’t managed to figure out what the cause is yet. It’s possible that the old version of Samba packaged for Optware has this bug. On Ubuntu, mounting the Samba share with cifs fixes the issues with deleting files. Add this to your /etc/fstab to mount the share with cifs: //192.168.1.X/sdcard /media/MOUNTPOINT cifs users,username =root,password = ',rw,nounix,iocharset =utf8,filemode =0777,dirmode =0777 0 0 Configure Transmission Run the transmission-daemon first, then stop it, so it will create its config file. Transmission-daemon killall transmission-daemon You can edit the config file at opt/home/root/.config/transmission-daemon/settings.json, or just use my.
A good idea is to change the download-dir to point to the location you want it to download the torrents on the FAT32 SD card partition. Set the rpc-enabled property to true, to enable RPC and be able to connect to the web interface at or use the. These are both already done in my file. Once you have the config set-up, start transmission with: transmission-daemon Configure FlexGet is a multipurpose download automation tool.
We’ll use it to automate downloads. To configure Flexget, edit the /opt/home/root/.flexget/config.yml file. You can check out the for config file examples.
See, to connect FlexGet to it, and have it add torrents automatically. If you need automatic subtitle downloads, we installed Periscope before, so just follow the. Now copy the file to /opt/flexget.sh. We’ll use this file to run the Flexget tasks. Flexget does have a daemon mode with a scheduler, but I noticed it’s a real memory hog, so I can’t use it. Configure autorun and scheduling Copy to /opt/start.sh. This script will run everything related to SSH, Samba and Transmission.

We need something that will run the script on startup and periodically run FlexGet. I’m using, since it can do both.
You need to set up the two scripts in Script Manager. Set /opt/start.sh to run on Boot and /opt/flexget.sh to run as often as you need it to check for new content (every 1 day/1 hour/etc.). Dual Mount By default, when you connect the Phone to the TV with USB, all apps on the phone, including Transmission and FlexGet will not be able to access the SD card. To get around this, we have to use a dual mount app.
The app will mount the SD card on phone and the TV at the same time. This is usually not a good idea, since it will corrupt your SD card when doing simultaneous writes, but in this case the TV has read-only access, so it won’t happen. I recommend using since it’s the one that worked best for me. You can also use something like or similar.

##Extra tips. My TV does not auto-refresh the contents on the SD card, so I have to turn it on and off to be able to see the newly added files in the USB interface. If you’re using an older phone, it’s best to free up as much memory as possible. So remove any apps you don’t need and use something like to kill any extra services. After downloading lots of torrents on the SD card, even if it is a class 10, corruption will happen on the FAT32 partition. When it does, mount the SD card on your PC and run sudo dosfsck -w -r -l -a -v -t /dev/sdc1 (replace sdc1 with your SD card FAT32 partition) to try and fix the issues.
