G'day,
Apologies if this has been asked but I didn't see it.
I have a MacBook (13" plastic unibody) and installed XBMC (latest stable 9.11 R26018) without a hitch. I used it to play media from the hard drive, a USB drive and a CD all without a problem.
Until I moved a bunch of Movies to a 750Gb external drive I just got and tried to use it. The drive shows up but with no media on it. I can read and write to the drive but nothing shows up.
One catch maybe that it is formatted as NTFS (again I do have read/write access and it works everywhere else (VLC etc.)). Is there any technical reasons why this might not work. I have copied files off the drive onto my local hard drive and other USB drive (formatted as FAT32 fwiw) and they work in either of those locations.
Any clues (or suggestions on what to look for in logs etc) would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
