USB devices are not mounted automatically - PlayerOne - 2009-11-08
Hi,
I'm having troubles with the automatic mounting of USB storage devices, XBMC just doesn't recognise them.
I installed XBMC 9.11 alpha 1 r24283 on Ubuntu Jaunty i686 (I mostly followed this guide even though I don't have an Acer Revo)
Here is a debug log where I started XBMC and then plugged in the external HD.
Here is another one where I first plugged in the HD and then started XBMC (don't know if it makes a difference)
dmesg output
hal-device output
Any help would be very appreciated.

Hi and welcome to the forums, there seems to be a regression regarding this. I have a fix and will commit it ASAP.
So it should be fixed in next release.
in the meantime you may add an advancedsettings.xml with the following and it should work.
Code:
<advancedsettings>
<handlemounting>true</handlemounting>
</advancedsettings>P.S Thanx for a splendid bugreport!
cheers,
Tobias
