« on: September 18, 2015, 01:28:50 AM »
Hi, in android himedia media player i have a big icon with the internal hard drive named  sda, but i don't know in kodi http://prntscr.com/8hk4r7 it must be?, the picture is on a computer(is from kodi site), que question is in my q10, where in kodi will i see this drive?, i feel i have found in windows network SMB, but is a internal drive, even is shared by smb, now i'm at work, i can't check.

Internal SATA and USB drive location in Kodi (and other apps) is not obvious if you're used to Windows. Android is based on Linux and uses Linux file system conventions.

Hence, all attached storage is mounted located under /mnt.

Internal SATA and USB drives in Android Kodi:

From the screen in your screenshot: root file system - /mnt/sda/sda1 (Q10 internal HDD only) and root file system - /mnt/sdb/sdb1 then /mnt/sdb/sdb2 etc (all USB drives).

To get Kodi to start on boot try this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=imoblife.startupmanager

Hi Futeko, thanks a lot for your replies, but my real question where from the screenshot is that drive?, i see drive c, drive D, hdhomerun devices, etc,, where i will find the drive form that screen list, i can't see root file system there.
Thanks again

That screenshot is not from Android Kodi, it's from Kodi running on Windows.

I've circled where you need to be looking on this photo I just took of Kodi on a Q10:
