Title: Egreat A10 -problems with internal harddrive and network! (please help)
Post by: najkks on December 02, 2017, 01:30:22 PM
Hi everyone, hope that i can find answers to my questions in this forum :)

I just bought a Egreat A10 mediaplayer, along with a 4tb Seagate Ironwolf Sata-hdd

Ive partitioned it with GPT and formated NTFS - i did this using a usb-connected cabinet with the sata-hdd inside
(ive heard that this might be a problem and that you should connect it straight thru SATA instead?)

well.. when i start the mediaplayer up, i can access my movies, by viewing them in a "file-list",
and i can also play them this way..

But i cant add a source to scrape from, so i cant see all my movies on the "wall-thing" with a more fancy layout!

When i try to add source, i can almost only find a lot of network-options,
but also the two folloing: EXTERNAL STORAGE (but this seem to be something about an sd-card?)
and ROOT FILESYSTEM..

but what should i do to be able to see the internal harddrive that ive put in the mediaplayer?

Also.. can i hide the menu on the left where i see all the movie posters?

extremly annoying that the menu is always there...

So between the first and second post you were able to add your HDD (because you are now asking about the poster interface)?

To add a source in Egreat media player, select 'Add' at top left in file mode and then either 'Add local path' or 'Add network path' at bottom of screen.

The menu bar at left (toggle file/poster mode, show categories, search) cannot be removed completely. I will mention to Egreat that an option to remove it has been requested.
