xbmc doesnt see external drive - mikexmayhem - 2014-12-24

This has been beaten to death based on my searches, but the answers didn't work for me. I have two drives plugged into my cubox. I'm running android with xbmc installed. It doesn't show my drives. I looked in every folder in the root file system. Its not there. Any ideas how to make them work? Thanks!

Same problem here.

Amiko A3 running Jellybean 4.2.2. I can access the drive using any other file explorer, but I can't add the location as a source inside of Kodi 14.2 (ARM).

As others have stated, this seems to be an issue that many search for
Looking for a solution.

mhalfadl might have the answer for you in this post.

I did something similar:
  1. System -> File Manager -> Add Source
  2. Browse to Root File System -> /storage -> /external_storage -> /hdx
Nod Now I have hdx listed in the sources and could easily select it to add videos / music.
