Hello all, I have a couple different questions. I have UDOO running the latest Kodiak Isengard release. I hooked an external hard drive full of movies and videos up to my UDOO running kodi, but the UDOO did not recognize the drive. Is there something or drivers I need to install for it to recognize the external WD 1TB drive? Also, if I wanted to put videos on the OS SD card, is there a special directory I should put the media in so that it's recognized by Kodi? What's the best OS for the UDOO to play videos and media on an external HD? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I newer connected any sata drive directly to Udoo (because all drives are in use). Will pull one and see what is happening. On SD card you can put movies in any folder you want. Just need to make a "link" in Kodi to see this folder.
My disk just works without anything special: Code: OpenELEC:~ # cat /etc/release imx6.arm-6.0.0 OpenELEC:~ # dmesg | grep -i sata [ 1.160495] ahci-imx 2200000.sata: fsl,transmit-level-mV not specified, using 00000024 [ 1.160503] ahci-imx 2200000.sata: fsl,transmit-boost-mdB not specified, using 00000480 [ 1.160510] ahci-imx 2200000.sata: fsl,transmit-atten-16ths not specified, using 00002000 [ 1.160516] ahci-imx 2200000.sata: fsl,receive-eq-mdB not specified, using 05000000 [ 1.163818] ahci-imx 2200000.sata: SSS flag set, parallel bus scan disabled [ 1.163849] ahci-imx 2200000.sata: AHCI 0001.0300 32 slots 1 ports 3 Gbps 0x1 impl platform mode [ 1.163862] ahci-imx 2200000.sata: flags: ncq sntf stag pm led clo only pmp pio slum part ccc apst [ 1.167046] ata1: SATA max UDMA/133 mmio [mem 0x02200000-0x02203fff] port 0x100 irq 71 [ 1.652240] ata1: SATA link up 3.0 Gbps (SStatus 123 SControl 300) OpenELEC:~ # mount | grep sda /dev/sda4 on /var/media/sda4-ata-WDC_WD3200BEKT-0 type vfat (rw,nosuid,nodev,noexec,noatime,fmask=0133,dmask=0022,codepage=437,iocharset=ascii,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro) /dev/sda1 on /var/media/System Reserved type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096) /dev/sda3 on /var/media/DISK-D type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096) OpenELEC:~ # ll /media/sda4-ata-WDC_WD3200BEKT-0/ total 12 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Oct 30 2010 $RECYCLE.BIN drwxr-xr-x 4 root root 4096 Jan 1 1970 . drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 100 Jan 1 1970 .. drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Aug 27 18:16 System Volume Information OpenELEC:/var/media/sda4-ata-WDC_WD3200BEKT-0 # date ; dd if=/dev/zero of=dummy bs=10M count=10; sync; date Tue Nov 17 17:46:16 UTC 2015 10+0 records in 10+0 records out 104857600 bytes (100.0MB) copied, 1.089659 seconds, 91.8MB/s Tue Nov 17 17:46:19 UTC 2015 OpenELEC:/var/media/sda4-ata-WDC_WD3200BEKT-0 # date ; dd if=/dev/zero of=dummy bs=10M count=100; sync; date Tue Nov 17 17:46:37 UTC 2015 100+0 records in 100+0 records out 1048576000 bytes (1000.0MB) copied, 31.762140 seconds, 31.5MB/s Tue Nov 17 17:47:10 UTC 2015 OpenELEC:/var/media/sda4-ata-WDC_WD3200BEKT-0 # date ; cp dummy dummy1 ; date Tue Nov 17 17:47:49 UTC 2015 Tue Nov 17 17:48:38 UTC 2015
OK thank you guys. I know a bit more about how to see what's going on through ssh. Before I plugged it in and didn't see the drive and gave up. I'll try again and let you know if I run into any issues. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
