Internal HDD

[Hebridean]

Do I have to setup the internal drive before I can record and playback recordings.

Yep

What do you mean by "setup"?

How many storage devices do you have connected?
What filesystem does the HDD use? fat32, exfat, NTFS, ext?

I have one internal HDD - problem solved - formatted the HDD and now works fine :thumbsup:

Hi
How do I format the HDD?

There's no menu option for it.

[Andy_Hazza]

If connected will show up in the ViX menu under Storage. If this doesn’t show, the HDD isn’t properly connected.

Wasn't showing up - external one was.
Tutns out the SATA connection on mobo doesn't work. Tried connecting 4 different hdd.
Swapped connector with esata one, works. Not using the esata anyway, so no loss there.
Just need to transfer from external to internal now.

Hi Andy, Sorry for jumping in here. I installed a new HD (500GB) and Im still finding my way around the Tiviar box. I too am having trouble formatting the new HD, where is the Vix menu on the box?
Also is there a user manual that I can download?

Aup. Press Menu > Setup > Storage > Initialise and select your HDD and press Ok and the Green button to Initialise it (Format to Ext4). Say Yes on next warning about wiping data clean. After that has been successful you need to setup a Mount point for the HDD. To do that press Blue button > ViX Setup Mount or Mount Setup and select your HDD and press Green to Setup Mount. Say Yes on next prompt and when successful say Yes to Restart your receiver.

You should now have a n Ext4 mounted HDD. [emoji4]

HI Andy, Thank you for your reply. I should have mentioned that I'm running Open 6.1. I have tried what you replied with but I cant see a Storage option after pressing Setup, What I am seeing is Video, Audio, Recordings & Timeshift, Usage & GUI, EPG, Service Searching, Common Interface, Parental Control, Software Management.

[dsayers]

OpenATV those options are in blue button menu. I can't remember the exact options but you should have device setup.

Just a side not OpenATV 6.1 feeds are dead so you may have issues installing plugins maybe flash an updated image.

The storage option/menu will only be displayed if a storage device is detected.

Thank you Andy this is so helpful on my box it doesn't have press green button as an option. But when I clicked it formatted.

Thanks again

Glad it worked for you. The lack of green button on screen could be related to the skin you are using, may not hot been maintained.

That's probably the most straightforward way to get some picons. The video shows you more or less anyway, it's is a bit old now and the menus have changed a bit.

Dsayers has a plugin that downloads and installs picons for you. Just google Dsayers Picon Updater.
