I've just spent many hours trying to figure out a problem on my own and I'm about to my wit's end.
I've got Lubuntu with Kodi installed on it (rolled my own kodibuntu basically).
I was unable to get DVDs to play with Isengard and found a forum post somewhere talking about
upgrading to a nightly build. I followed the instructions and tried to update it but it completely
failed to install the dependencies and Kodi would no longer run. So I uninstalled Kodi, disabled
the nightly repos and then reinstalled Kodi (getting Jarvis, which seems pretty nice).
Now DVDs play great, everything seems great, except for the fact that I can't get external
USB drives to mount. Since I have my entire media library on one, that's a major problem
for me.
If I "Exit" kodi then log back in with Lubuntu desktop, I can access the drive, play the media
from it and everything is fine. I can even launch Kodi from the desktop and Kodi sees
the drive and functions perfectly. But the second I reboot, it screws up again.
I searched and searched the 'net but found next to no information for this problem.
I did end up trying to add
to /etc/modules but it had no impact or change other than slightly slowing down my boot.
I have no idea where to go from here. I assume that I somehow uninstalled or disabled
the automounting features of kodi when I removed/reinstalled it. If that's the case,
how do I reinstall/fix the problem?
Thank you in advance for your help.
