Hello,
I would be really great to have the possibility to change USB disks inside XBMC with the possibility to safely remove them (now I have to quit XBMC, use the Windows safely remove hardware and start XBMC again). An equal or similar function that has Openelec would be just perfect (the USB drives can be safely removed from Video -> Files). What do you think ?

If you use "Files" view, you should see your USB device listed. Open its context menu and select "Remove safely".

Hello Artrafael,
I'm using Frodo RC3 for Windows and I can't find the "Remove safely" inside the USB device context menu while it is present in Openelec (and I think in other Linux versions). It's why I asked that Smile If other Windows users can find that, it would be very strange and I would need to investigate why I have not this function....
