Is anyone using the mass storage plugin? I'm getting a little frustrated not being able to work it out..
I've found now there are automounting services that can be hacked to do the same thing.. Like hotplug on gentoo. Feel free to offer me some advice on what YOUR doing.. As I'm fairly new to USB storage and don't know what path to take.. What I really want is for the features that I thought were in usbstorage, to 'add' and 'remove' the given directory when the device is available. Thinking about this, this would be good for network /smb mounts also. Maybe I should start ot dig around there..

I can see usb.py is seeing the device.. usb.py: removed device 0402:5621 usb.py: new device 0402:5621 Is anyone using the mass storage plugin? I guess for now a shortcut is to use usb.py to mount the drives and just hardcode the mount dirs to the video items.. FYI: This is what my config looks like.. plugin.activate('usb') USB_HOTPLUG = [ ('0402:5621', 'Mounting USB-1', 'mount /mnt/USB-1 /mnt/USB-2') ] plugin.activate('usbstorage', type='video', args=('0402:5621', '/mnt/USB-1')) reading usbstorage.py, it looks like '0402:5621' is the name given to the menu item, but i left the USB device ID there just in case i'mmissing something.. Only issue with this is that they don't unmount when they are removed.. Maybe there's sometheing to add to the usb plugin: ie app to call when device x is removed.. OK. Ive done this now. Send to freevo-develif anyone interested.

I have 1 40G USB HDD with 2 Parts each set to 20g. I would like to have these both automount when plugged in. Is this what the automount plugin is for? I'm loathing booting up the laptop to ssh in and mount them manually ATM.
