I've tried fresh xbmc-live install (just to be sure it's not a problem on my side) and once I updated to SVN xbmc USB drives stopped mounting.
Problem is definitely linux version related, because mounting in Windows works just fine.

Thx, latest SVN isn't suggested for now, but I'll look into it!

Cheers,
Tobias

Which is the most recent version, reconmmended one, that we should downgrade to, in order to get rid of the problem with usb automount?

Stable... We never recomend or support anything besides stable, if you want to go outside of that your on your own

Fixed in latest SVN.

And for those of you that don't want to upgrade but experience this, please add the following to advancedsettings.xml
Code:
<usehalmount>true</usehalmount>


- Ooblivion - 2009-10-13

Where would one find the advancedsettings.xml file?

Thanks



.....Sorry, I RTFM and found it..........


Added it and now USB works again.


I have to say, this is one very supportive forum!

Thanks, topfs2!

Hehe, we are cranky at times but deep down we care for our users Wink

Glad to hear that it's verified working.

Next SVN PPA should have the fixes so the advanced settings shouldn't be needed.

Cheers,
Tobias

What do you expect? it's SVN, it's for developers only...
