The best practice currently for pen drives or other detachable PnP storage devices is to attach them to a non-MD machine on the LAN. Then copy their contents to the /home/public/data/... on your Core's share etc.

All the best

Thanks Andrew!.

But, in my situation, I've only 1 pc installed in my living-room working like an hybrid system.  I haven't keyboard or mouse connected, just a remote control. So, I'm wanting to get an easy method to use media files.  Something like "put and play", just DVD players with support for pen drives.  Is it possible with LMCE?.

Thanks for your reply!.

Do you know which package and version have the fix for FAT?.
I run apt-get update / apt-get upgrade but all packages on my system are on their last versions.  My three pen drives are labeled, but nothing happens when I plug them, never popup a device detected screen.
(I'm seeing device detected screen when I puting a CD or DVD, but not with pen drive)

Bongowongo said that this is not the best practice to access media file on pen drives (or cams, or any external mass storage).  But I'm confusing, do you mean that always I'm must mount manually the pen drive and then copy media files to hdd (using console or kde desktop)?.

Hi all,

I'm working on LinuxMCE 8.10 (core/hybrid) and I'm having problems to view media files on my usb pen drive.
When I plugged it, nothing happend.  What can I do?

From Kde desktop, it's works fine.  Pen drive is automounted, and you can browse device with Dolphin.


FYI: I'm working on a fresh installation from DVD, and I downloaded it yesterday.  Before run installation script, I did run apt-get update / apt-get dist-upgrade.

Thanks!.
