What format is the HDD in?
If you plug it in, how & where is it mounted? Blue button -> ViX -> Mount Manager

Press the filelist button on the remote (button just to the right of the menu button) Can you navigate to the movies then?

i tried to mount it, it said mount failed

it is NTFS judge, cos i have big blu ray files

is that the problem?

I don't use NTFS drives myself but there could be kernel/driver issues.
If you could back-up the drive & format it using the box so it's in EXT4 format, then copy your movies back over, it would probably be the best solution.

Hi, did you remove the ntfs 3g first, just asking

Hi,
I have an older version (vix 3.0). My HDD is in NTFS format and it used to work fine after installing ntfs-3g from the feeds. Now the feeds don´t seem to work, neither does a telnet session: "opkg install ntfs-3g" just gives the error "Unknown package ntfs-3g". I cannot format my harddisk to ext3/4 format, I just want to install the plugin, any ideas on how to do that? Does anyone have a link to an ipk package?

ViX 3.0 was discontinued almost two years ago and as such no longer has access to the ViX plugin feeds, if you wish to continue to use such a old, unsupported image you must source and install all your plugins manually including all dependencies they may require.

Hi,
Solo2? There seems to be problems with the feed.

Are you sure that ntfs-3g is the correct and complete name? If not check with

opkg list | grep ntfs
