Hi
Got one of those SmartTv Set top boxes running Android 4.0 with BOXCHIP A10 ,CORTEX A8 1.2GHz processor, and 1GB DDR Ram.

XBMC Frodo 12.0 for Android installed like a charm and even got the interface running flawlessly.

I plugged in a 500GB Seagate HDD with Videos which immediately showed up as external storage on the Set Top Box.

But when I goto Videos>Add Files I just cannot see the USB External Storage option. Can only see the SD Card option for external Storage.

Anything am missing out? Do I have to install some USB add-on or something?

I couldn't get it to work either so what I did was add the sd card so in the external storage when selecting the video section then (on my remote) type c and it opens a menu then edit source and I typed in mnt/usb_storage/USB_DISK0/(1)/ and that worked for me but I did install an app called file manager and it showed up in that and that is how I got the address.

Blame your firmware makers for labeling your USB devices as SD - XBMC only reads whats on your device. FileSystem\mnt\sda1 = USB (if nothing else is plugged in) or you can go the mnt/usb_storage but some have complained about mass storage showing up there. Kind regards.
