My box is a VU+Duo2. Have installed OpenPLI 6 dated 13 October 2017,

 

In view of being able to download Picons on a USB stick I have done the following;

1) formatted in Windows 10 a USB stick as FAT 32

2) Check in Device Mgr that I can see the USB stick

3) Started Mount Mgr, highlighthed the USB, clicked on menu and mounted the USB stick as media/usb, pressed  OK and the box rebooted. Now I can see the USB in Mount mgr as /media/usb

 

However when I try do download Picons from the Plugin feed I get the choice to download to the HDD and the Internal flash but not to the USB.

I have tried with 3 different USB stick sizes 32 GB, 4 GB and 1 GB. Each time I have unmounted the USB stick before mounting a new one.

All 3 failed.The USB stick was connected each time to the front panel.

 

The settings in Mount Mgr for the HDD respectively for the USB stick are as follows:

HDD:

device: /dev/sda1

mount: /media/hdd

type: ext4 R/W

 

USB:

device: /dev/sdb1

mount: /media/usb

type: vfat R/W

 

Questions:

 

1) Why don't I get the option to download Picons (from the plugin feed) to the USB stick?

2) What do I need to do to make the USB visible as a option to download to when attempting to download Picons?

1) Because FAT formatted disks cannot be used for Picons

2) Have the box format it for you.

OK. Which format shall I choose from when using the box to i initialize the USB?

Now you mention it, yeah, the vu+duo2 has tons of fast flash, no point using a slow USB stick for picons...
