Raspberry Pi Serial Number for Codecs

Hey guys..

 

Can someone point me in the right direction..   I want to get the serial number for ordering the video codecs...  but I don't know how to kick myself out to the command prompt instead of loading rasplex.

 

Thanks for your help

I think you will need to ssh in from another pc. Find the ip address your rasplex has been allocated and then ssh root@ the ip address of your rasplex device. The default password on my pi was rasplex.

You can find the ip from within rasplex, go to preferences>rasplex_settings>connections. 

If you are on windows then you will need a ssh client, I would recommend putty.

If you are on a Mac and on the same network, this should do the trick:

ssh root@openelec.local

If you changed the default "openelec" name for your rasplex, use that instead.

Once ordered, you can also make the changes without using SSH, by editing the config.txt file directly by plugging the SD card in to your computer.
