I misspoke in the title. This thread is about the Gen 1 Amazon Fire TV.
Hello,
I've been running an Amazon Fire TV (AFTV) in the livingroom and the bedroom for almost a year. Both have worked fine running Kodi 15.2 with the kodi data on a USB drive.
The AFTV in the livingroom is about a year and a half old and the bedroom is about 8 months old.
I've setup a "xbmc_env.properties" file at /mnt/sdcard with these contents:
xbmc.data=/storage/extUsb/kodi_data
I have just enough data that it won't fit on the internal storage so using the USB is the only install that works.
About 3 days ago, the bedroom AFTV quit working with Kodi when the data is on the USB drive.. The AFTV seems to work in every way with the built in software, but Kodi now refuses to run as long as the data is on the external USB card.
I modified the "xbmc_env.properties" file to point to:
xbmc.data=/storage/usbdisk/kodi_data
This did not fix the problem. When I launch Kodi there is a very long pause and it either just stays on a black screen or quits.
The bedroom AFTV is mostly used by my girlfriend so I've unplugged the USB drive and renamed the "xbmc_env.properties" file.
Kodi works fine, but as you can imagine I'd like to get the full system working again.
Is anyone else experiencing this same problem? I don't think there is anything wrong with the USB drive. If I plug it into the livingroom AFTV, it launches Kodi just fine with that DB/Library.
Thanks, Scott
