Remote accessing your RaspBMC

15 Mar 2014

Hey Friend,

In last post I write about how I control the RaspBMC using TV remote. Another method is to control the RaspBMC over internet.

Well controlling the RaspBMC over internet is so easy. All you need to connect it with the LAN. You can connect it with using Ethernet Cable or using Wi-Pi.

For connecting Raspberry Pi with the LAN, just plug Ethernet cable to the Raspberry Pi. Or connect it using Wi-Pi.

For connecting with the Wi-Pi

Go to program -> RaspBMC setting -> Ok
In network configuration Tab
Select Network mode to Wireless Network
Go below
Select Scan Networks and select your broadcasted SSID.
Select Wi-Fi Security type
In mine case it is WPA/WPA2
Enter your Wi-Fi security key in Wi-Fi key
Press OK from below

Steps to enable the remote access via HTTP

Go to System -> Settings -> Services -> Webserver
Select Allow control of XBMC via HTTP
Enter your desired port number. Make sure the port is not in use by any other application.
Now you can enter the http://Local-IP:port in your PC browser or in your device connected to LAN.
You see the Remote control Panel in the browser window. You can control the RaspBMC using that.

Step to enable Samba Server and VNC server

Go to Program -> RaspBMC setting -> Ok
In system Configuration Tab go below
Enable Samba Server and VNC server
For accessing the Samba Server. In windows go to start-> run -> type \\your-local-IP and press enter.
Enter User: Pi and password: raspberry . By using Samba server you can access files of raspberry directly with the computer
For accessing the VNC server download VNC viewer from http://www.realvnc.com/download/viewer/
Install vncviewer and open it.
Enter your local-IP:5900 and click on connect
