To update the library librtmp download the newest version by RedPenguin from https://www.mediafire.com/?x4cvp5hl4m9xr (right now is inside the folder 3-16-15-Fixes/RasPi).

The name of the downloaded file is librtmp.so.0, but has to replace the file /usr/lib/arm-linux-gnueabihf/librtmp.so.1.

Official support thread: http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid=162307

More info: https://discourse.osmc.tv/t/replacing-librtmp-so-0-with-custom-version/2067

Alternative version by superceleron: http://bit.ly/SCLibrtmp (https://www.mediafire.com/folder/3623pdo81n353/lib)

Install and prepare folders and permissions:

sudo apt-get install transmission-daemon
sudo systemctl stop transmission-daemon.service
mkdir -p /home/osmc/torrents/downloads
mkdir -p /home/osmc/torrents/temp
mkdir -p /home/osmc/torrents/watch
sudo chmod g+rwx /home/osmc/torrents/downloads
sudo chmod g+rwx /home/osmc/torrents/temp
sudo chmod g+rwx /home/osmc/torrents/watch
sudo usermod -a -G osmc debian-transmission

Edit the settings file /etc/transmission-daemon/settings.json:

"rpc-whitelist-enabled": false,
"rpc-username": "username",
"rpc-password": "password",
"download-dir": "/home/osmc/torrents/downloads",
"incomplete-dir": "/home/osmc/torrents/temp",
"incomplete-dir-enabled": true,
"script-torrent-done-enabled": true,
"script-torrent-done-filename": "/home/osmc/update-library.sh",
"trash-original-torrent-files": true,
"umask": 0,
"watch-dir": "/home/osmc/torrents/watch",
"watch-dir-enabled": true,

Create this script in /home/osmc/update-library.sh:

#!/bin/sh

/usr/bin/curl --silent --data-binary '{ "jsonrpc": "2.0", "method": "VideoLibrary.Scan", "id": "mybash"}' -H 'content-type: application/json;' http://nova:abaixardeTOT@localhost:8081/jsonrpc > /dev/null

Start the daemon:

sudo systemctl start transmission-daemon.service

To launch at startup, create the following file /etc/systemd/system/rtorrent.service:

[Unit]
Description=rTorrent
After=network.target

[Service]
User=osmc
Type=forking
KillMode=none
ExecStart=/usr/bin/screen -d -m -fa -S rtorrent /usr/bin/rtorrent
ExecStop=/usr/bin/killall -w -s 2 /usr/bin/rtorrent
WorkingDirectory=/home/osmc

[Install]
WantedBy=multi-user.target

And enable at boot with:

sudo systemctl enable rtorrent

To compile from source:

sudo apt-get install rtorrent

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/rakshasa/rtorrent/master/doc/rtorrent.rc -O ~/.rtorrent.rc

sudo apt-get install automake build-essential libcppunit-dev libcurl3 libncurses5-dev libssl-dev libtool libxmlrpc-core-c3-dev pkg-config zlib1g-dev

mkdir -p ~/local/

cd ~/local/
git clone https://github.com/rakshasa/libtorrent.git
cd libtorrent
git checkout 0.13.6
./autogen.sh
./configure --prefix=$HOME/local --with-posix-fallocate
make
make install

cd ~/local/
git clone https://github.com/rakshasa/rtorrent.git
cd rtorrent
git checkout 0.9.6
./autogen.sh
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="$HOME/local/lib/pkgconfig"
./configure --prefix=$HOME/local --with-xmlrpc-c

There seems to be a bug in OSMC where the external keyboard is always English and can't be changed.

Bug report: https://discourse.osmc.tv/t/bug-report-hardware-keyboard-layout-not-working/3507

Go to My OSMC → Pi Config and enable store_hdmi_to_file.
