Can't see USB stick in Openelec on Intel NUC
#1
Installed Kodi on a new Intel box with internal SSD, using a memory stick created using the Openelec wiki here. Install was fine.

Now I've copied some zip files to that same memory stick, stick it in the USB port, and want to install repositories or add-ins downloaded as zip files. But when I go to system--> Addins --> Get more I don't see the stick. I also don't see the SSD.

In System --> Storage I see /dev/sda1 which is my USB stick and I see my SSD as /dev/sda2. So it is seen by the system.

I've got putty, tried going

cd /dev/sda1 and sda2 but says I' can't cd to it. Also tried cd /var/media/sda1.

If I try to add it as a source (/var/media/sda1 or /dev/sda1) it doesn't find it.

Mount and parted commands give the following:

I see it now. It's sdb1 and it's in /var/media/OPENELEC

So I will try to add that location as a source. So does it not automatically show as a source when plugged in?

You don't need to add it as a source. When adding from zip, simply start at root filesystem and go to var, media etc.

But overall it is far easier to simply copy the file to your openelec machine via network. No need for sneakernet.
