Placing the pi, it will be hold inside it's place by the cables
The hole of the removed scart socket with some cables inside it. The Ethernet connection and usb are also already placed. Therefore I have made some holes inside the plastic case. There is also a usb connection on the front side of the tv.
closer image of the ethernet and usb connection. the usb connection (front and rear) are made by a 5 meter male to female cable, these were the cheapest. Fist I had some trouble with the front connection, this is solved by an usb hub and by don't cutting the cables.
The RPi in place, hold together by cables, this image is of the old cables wich are using only the data of the RPi, and are directly connected to the adapter, but this was giving trouble.
2nd cablecut of the front connection. I think this connection was the main problem.
case on it
back
after reopening it I've connected new usb cables and a hub. This picture is of the below side of the tube, with the on/off switch around the place of the yellow tape.
new usb cable for the front side.
the rolled usb cables. It's still strange, but this isn't giving any problems.
The usb hub, I've splitted the cable of the usb hub, one cable to the RPi, for data and one cable for the power, wich goes to the poweradapter. The female connections are used for: power of the RPi, front usb, rear usb, and one inside.
Front usb
closer image
the XBMC (openelec) home screen, down the logo of philips, you can see the on/off switch of the RPi.
The finishing touch: a sticker with all the brands inside: the Raspberry (2012), and the tv is a Philips Matchline (from 1997)
next will be to use my smartphone as remote control, I have still to find it out.
