OSMC on Virtual Machine

[sheebz]

hey everyone,

been toying with this in my spare time. trying to get a media server set up with the ability to install all (or most) of the streaming services on it. seems this is the best way i can find.

i've got raspberry pi on a VM, but im having trouble when it comes to the OSMC part.

Once OSMC is installed to your SD card, safely eject from your PC, and insert the card in your Raspberry Pi. Ensure the computer is connected to your router via Ethernet (Wi-Fi can wait until everything is configured) and your TV's HDMI port, then connect the power cable.


Your Raspberry Pi will then boot into OSMC's automated installer. Wait while the files install and the system reboots. OSMC will then open, providing you with a Kodi media center on your Raspberry Pi. Some basic configuration is required for language, time zone, device hostname, and enable or disable SHH.

is there a way to mount the osmc.img inside the vm? i do have it written to an sd card, but cant get it to show up in the vm when i plug it into the server. is there a way to get that to work? or am i chasing a pipe dream here?
