Title: Mounted USB HD not working
Post by: TheloniousHipster on February 19, 2019, 02:50:40 AM

Hello,

I tried to find an answer but didn't. I am new to the Himedia. I set the box up an attached my 4 TB WD HD by USB. However I can not access it. Where would I find the HD? I searched everywhere.

Do I have to Format the HD in a Special Format maybe?

Thanks

Format should be GPT partition table and NTFS or EXT filesystem.

* Drive mount location? All apps except the HiMedia file browser and player use Android file structure. All directories and locations are subdirectories of root, which is symbolised as /. This is different for Android 5.1 and Android 7 firmwares. For Android 5.1: External drives are located at /mnt/sda/sda1 (Q10 Pro internal HDD only) and  /mnt/sdb/sdb1 then /mnt/sdb/sdb2 etc (all USB drives). For Android 7: External drives are located at /mnt/media_rw/
