    Mount

    Hi Guys
    A bit baffled here I have BH 2.1.3 installed and the Plugin TSMedia I have mounted two usb sticks via the 2 ports on the back. I mounted them through Menu/Setup/ System/Device Manager and both show as mounted I even went via pressing Blue button twice and remounted. My problem is when I go to TSMedia Download location to choose a usb to download to it keeps coming up with (Nothing mounted at /autofs/sdb1) got me stumped I'm afraid any help would be greatly appreciated thanks.

    I did have a 1tb drive which was recognized I downloaded movies onto this but since upgraded BH the box will not recognized it hence using 8gb sticks. Already made a folder on 1 stick called Movies but same result the other stick had epg on it so the box must be seeing that just TSMedia aint. To long ago since I used Telnet I have forgot all procedures as I use FTP to contact my box with DCC. So I would not know how to mount on Telnet I'm afraid but if there's a way via FTP I will attempt it.

    start dcc click telnet
    type mount
    press enter

    look for your usb on /dev/sdb1
    if you cant see it its not mounted


    the folder should be called movie
    not movies

    I did FTP to the box and under autofs folder the 2 sda1 were in there. Anyway I did as suggested with Telnet and it indicated the sticks were seen but the end statement is (shortname =mixed.errors=remount-ro) whatever that means hehe.

    no do this

    plug usb into pc


    Open the "Computer" window
    Right-click on the usb click properties
    Select the "Tools" tab
    In the Error-checking area, click <Check Now>
    tick both boxes
    click start

    wait for it to finish

    then try in solo again

    Thanks for your help by the way I am running Window 7 and it asked if I wanted to check for errors and fix it automatically. When finished entered into box (box recognises stick no files to show) went to TSMedia and it comes up the same??

    right had a play about
    got 8gb usb working as above

    mounting it as a hdd
    even on reboot

    so do that and it will work


    the problem with the larger usb stick/drives
    although usb seem only to work
    if they are mounted as hdd

    Hi again ozzsurf I did as you instructed in post 11 except this time I had my 8gb stick and my 1tb hd partitioned with the box. Mounted via Device Manager they show mounted went to DCC Telnet entered mount and both showing error at the end of the strings. I proceeded anyway to umount error return not found I went back to FTP looked in the autofs folder and attributes were not 755 so I changed redone all test and still the same. I'm thinking of surrendering until the next image update because it's only started when I upgraded to 2.1.3 BH.
    Thanks again for your help
