Does is still have the Android issue/behavior with regards to attached usb hdd paths being remapped when the unit is powered of and on?
Had that with the Minix and a few of the MXQ boxes...I currently use an HTPC with Windows for this and my hdd enclosures.
Would using SPMC change that at all, guessing not.

Well, I have a solution for this: https://github.com/koying/SPMC/pull/471
It still has to be properly field tested, though, as I don't use USB HDD myself...

PS For the technically minded, this mimics the linux ability to mount HDD by UUID. A droid app cannot do mounts, ofc, so a "virtual" mount point is created inside Kodi/SPMC which abstracts the actual one, which can vary between reboots (on linux, the device path as well, btw).

That being said, IIRC, the shield already does this as well:

Code:

/dev/block/vold/public:8,17 /mnt/media_rw/9041-87FB vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,uid=1023,gid=1023,fmask=0007,dmask=0007,allow_utime=0020,codepage=437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,utf8,errors=remount-ro 0 0

The /mnt/media_rw/9041-87FB looks like mount by UUID...
