How to use pulseaudio for network stream with Raspbmc (Kodi)?

I am using Raspbmc (with Kodi 14) on my Raspberry Pi. Now I would like to set up pulseaudio to be able to stream music from all my Linux computers easily to the Raspberry pi. My problem is, that I am not able to get pulseaudio running on the Raspberry Pi. I tried the following steps: **1. Install pulseaudio** sudo apt-get install pulseaudio pulseaudio-module-zeroconf **2. Setting up pulseaudio** sudo nano /etc/pulse/default.pa I added the following lines: load-module module-native-protocol-unix auth-anonymous=1 load-module module-native-protocol-tcp auth-ip-acl=127.0.0.1;192.168.1.0/24 auth-anonymous=1 load-module module-zeroconf-publish **3. Start pulseaudio** First I tried to start pulse as daemon: pulseaudio -D I also tried to start it system wide: sudo pulseaudio --system But pulse does not show up on my other machines at all (it is configured correctly there as they find each other). What is wrong here?

DVB-C stick works with OpenELEC, but not with OSMC
I'm not 100% sure whether this is the right site to ask, but I'll give it a shot. I have a Raspberry Pi with [OSMC](https://osmc.tv/) (f.k.a. RaspBMC, based on Raspbian) and [Pi-Hole](https://pi-hole.net/) on it and it has been working perfectly for a long time. Now I bought a DVB-C/T/T2 TV tuner (P...
I'm not 100% sure whether this is the right site to ask, but I'll give it a shot. I have a Raspberry Pi with [OSMC](https://osmc.tv/) (f.k.a. RaspBMC, based on Raspbian) and [Pi-Hole](https://pi-hole.net/) on it and it has been working perfectly for a long time. Now I bought a DVB-C/T/T2 TV tuner (PCTV tripleStick 292e) which claims to work with Linux [](http://www.hauppauge.co.uk/site/products/data_292e.html) [](https://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/PCTV_Systems_tripleStick_T2_(292e)) because I want to run [Tvheadend](http://tvheadend.org/) . I put the stick in my Pi, but Tvheadend just detected a DVB-T device (which is useless in my case - I need DVB-C). I downloaded various firmware files and put them into /lib/firmware, but that didn't change anything despite the firmware files being used. I spent hours trying to get DVB-C to work, but I failed. Then I created another SD card with [OpenELEC](http://openelec.tv/) on it, installed Tvheadend, and checked the web UI. The stick was detected as two devices, DVB-T and DVB-C. That's what I expected from various videos I found. In general, I don't mind changing from OSMC to OpenELEC, but the problem is that I can't install Pi-Hole on an OpenELEC device because OpenELEC is so minimalistic that it doesn't event have a package manager. Unfortunately, it's the only Pi OS I know that works with my DVB-C stick. So does anyone have an idea how I can get my stick with OSMC/Raspbian to work? Or as an alternative: is it possible to combine Kodi, Tvheadend and Pi-Hole using another distribution, so it can be used as a media player "with extras" in the living room?

OSMC won't boot anymore after update

At home I have a Raspberry Pi 2 with OSMC installed on it. For those who don't know what it is, it's basically Kodi as an OS. It's a Debian based Linux OS with the Kodi software on top. So perhaps people who don't know OSMC but do know a lot about Linux will be able to answer my question. After a few updates I rebooted the RPi2 and I couldn't boot into OSMC anymore. The screen went all black with just 3 lines of text on the screen: > grep: error while loading shared libraries: libdl.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory > > grep: error while loading shared libraries: libdl.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory > > /sbin/init: error while loading shared libraries: libdl.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory I'm sorry I can't provide you more information but I'm not too familiar with Linux (except for really basic stuff). If you guys need to see something like files or something, please let me know. Thanks in advance! EDIT: When the aforementioned black screen appears I can't SSH into the system...

I'm attempting to install logitechmediaserver 7.8.0 on my OSMC (Raspbmc) Raspberry Pi. I primarily followed instructions from here , although some of the install did not work (some dependencies missing from the repositories, and the patch failed). Regardless, I've gotten to the part where I restart the server with sudo service logitechmediaserver start, then tried to test by connecting to http://:9000 . This failed, so I stopped the service with sudo service logitechmediaserver stop, then attempted to troubleshoot by manually calling the executable. $ sudo /usr/sbin/squeezeboxserver The following modules failed to load: DBI EV XML::Parser::Expat HTML::Parser JSON::XS Digest::SHA1 YAML::XS Sub::Name I attempted to install the missing libraries with apt-get install, but almost none of them helped. * libdbi-perl * libev-perl * libxml-parser-perl works! * libhtml-parser-perl was already installed. * libjson-xs-perl * libdigest-sha-perl * nothing under yaml-xs, so installed libyaml-perl instead. * libsub-name-perl How can I install the missing libraries? (So that I can presumably troubleshoot further.)

I am trying to get RaspBMC to play audio through a Focusrite Scarlett 8i6 soundcard but so far I cannot play any music through the default interface. I have tried checking the external audio interface's option in the normal RaspBMC menu. I managed to successfully play a .wav file using this command line input (this was just a random .wav file I found online). aplay sample.wav -D sysdefault:CARD=USB Trying the same command with an .mp3 file did not seem to work. Any knowledge of how to get the audio input working would be helpful too.
