[alsat1]

[migrato]

Great, can't wait to test it!!

[littlesat]

Only for DMM?

[Dimitrij]

Only for DMM?

This will work in any receiver.
But it is not necessary to add the plugin to the feed.
Why do we need the extra complaints from users who do not understand why this is done.

[gorski]

Or mods...

[myname70]

I installed it. But when start it, it asks for HDD/USB mount.. Cannot find the the mounting point /media/usb..... How to set it?

[gorski]

Device Manager, I think...

 

Or a proper Autofs, which will make those devices available/visible to FE...

 

Not sure if fstab editing will do it for FE...

[myname70]

Device manager works, but it mounts to /media/hdd (or /media/usb ). An Flashexpander does not recognize /media/hddd as a HDD... While trying to do customized path of the devise manager, it crashes. How can change the /media/hddd .. to /hdd (or mnt/hdd)?

Or switch to PBNIGMA image and forget about these problems...

It was deleted. The same issue - FE does not find /media/usb.... The last two lines are because of Device Manager - I put to split my USB stick in two partitions.

[Dimitrij]

Not use Device Manager

USB stick in two partitions...

What ?

[gorski]

I always do that, using PBNIGMA's Device Manager, which ONLY detects attached USB sticks and HDDs (but no automounting occurs, which is killed!), so I:

 

-partition my USB stick in 2 (PB's Device manager gives you a number of options, 'cause of many different sizes and needs of various users), then

-format those partitions (again, internally, using PB Device Manager, as you want it partitioned, EXT2/3/4, FAT/FAT32, if memory serves), then

-mount them (PB Device Manager does that, too, of course, but it gives you many options as to how to do it - see below, my example), then

-make a SWAP file if one isn't created during flashing (you guessed it, PB Device Manager can do that, too - the size and place of your choosing!), then

-I "Expand", as yet another function of PBNIGMA's Device Manager, to the smaller partition (it asks you which partition do you want to Expand to)

 

...and the box reboots when it is done...

 

It simply works! Your small flash memory is "aided and abetted" by the Expander and EPG, Picons (HD Glass or any other skin), 1Channel, DDsubtitle Player, SWAP etc. are all sent to the larger partition, using small plugins for "paths" etc. etc.

 

Try PBNIGMA and use my tutorial...

 

Voila!

P.S. There is one little flaw, in PB Device manager, which Stibbich is addressing with a new "Labelling" system - if one has 2 identical USB sticks, the system is having issues, hence a new system is added to the old one...

You see, I am no expert - an IT lay person - but if you say you have a single device and you partitioned it in 2, then this is the problem, it seems to me.

It should be different sizes for 2 different partitions.

In your data (one of previous posts) I see the same device mounted twice, of the same size. There is the conflict.

It must be mounted differently, as 2 partitions/devices of 2 different sizes and their common size must equal that of your USB stick, which is not the case right now.

Simple maths and logic says this is wrong:

/dev/sda2                 1.8G     35.6M      1.8G   2% /media/usb
/dev/sda1                 1.8G     34.8M      1.8G   2% /media/sda1

It ought to be something like (my "df -h" output):

/dev/sda1               448.2M     25.2M    422.9M   6% /media/usb
/dev/sda2                14.2G    274.3M     14.0G   2% /media/hdd

Here is my relevant "cat /etc/fstab" output:

/media/usb           /dev/sda1            auto       defaults              0  0
/media/hdd           /dev/sda2            auto       defaults              0  0

So, automounting let you down, it seems to me.

What you need is, as I keep saying to OpenPLi, too - a good Device Manager! And the best is PB one!
