malaga Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 hello dear all , good evening dear Arm-Experts and all Armbian-supporters, normally i am on Banana-Pi and Orange-Pi, on Udoo and Ordoit - all of those run with Arm-Operating-Systems from this great site. today one little question - i have with Raspi: I’ve just purchased a Raspberry Pi 3 and i’ve installed OpenElec onto the raspi so that i can run the Kodi. After this step - after this first step - I’ve succesfully set it all up and i’ve managed to get the USB ports. It seems to be working with a wireless wifi dongle. And that seems pretty fantastic. I am glad about this. So the next thing i did is to add a keyboard.i took a wireless keyboard. I’ve also set kodi to see the folder on another NAS. so far so good: The problem i have is that kodi cannot see my external HDD which is plugged into a spare USB port. The HDD is a WD elements with 1 TB and USB 2 . The good thing: it has its own power supply. Its got an NTFS file system and this works on my linux machine, my Windows machine and my Linux-Machine. Well - i guess that i have to putty into the openelec and try to mount so that i have somewhat like so; /dev/sdb1 is this correct look forward to hear from you greetings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If USB disk is there, check what "fdisk -l" is reporting. It is possible that NTFS driver isn't provided, in such case you either need a custom kernel with NTFS enabled, or change partition of the drive in EXT4 and reformat it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manuti Posted November 20, 2018 Share Posted November 20, 2018 NTFS is not a good idea with Raspberry Pi. I have many issues related to file permissions and overload the system. If you can switch to a native Linux file system, like ext4 or btrfs, you can achive better results and performance. Also, I kindly recommend using OSMC as Kodi better than OpenElec. Y si eres de Málaga que haces preguntando tan lejos pudiendo preguntar en un sitio perita como mi blog!!! https://raspberryparatorpes.net/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is different. And it probably fits better for some use cases but not for others. In general, OpenELEC is considered a dead project, LibreELEC can be a better option. It has a vibrant community and it is in an active development. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
