I could watch media via Kodi through it. charming, and stream? Thank you. Thanks a lot.I have tried paragon and stickmount on the newest rooted os5 version and I cannot get my ntfs drive to connect no matter what I do. You can choose to update the device.Any idea if drives can be used in conjunction with Kodi as PVR storage?As far as Kodi is concerned, the attached drive is fully accessible, so I see no reason why any of Kodi’s functionality wouldn’t work with the drive.I just realized I have a problem accessing my 128 gb flash drive. The first time the thumb drive was plugged in it showed fine in the Fire TV settings. And what about the DATA part of the sideloaded apps (Android/obb foder)? What would happen if a flash drive had two partitions, the first being a sacrificial tiny FAT32 partition to satisfy the FireTV, and the second being NTFS or exFat or ext4 etc. There is nothing wrong with your Fire TV. By default, the Amazon Fire TV only recognizes USB drives and microSD cards formatted with a FAT32 file system. Using a FireTV2.I am hoping to mount an external drive formatted EXFAT to my rooted fire tv. Before sticking your hand up criticizing Amazon’s lack of support for “ZFS”, Reiser or whatever it is _you_ think is needed, consider browsing to Wikipedia as a precursor to filesystems or getting a computer science education, so that you are in a position to judge what the best tool is for the job.Hmmm. What am I doing wrong?I’m running the latest pre-rooted firmware.

great site!!! Otherwise, you can follow this steps:Is it possible to share the mounted hdd on one after with a second firetv stick over wifi? And Tasker is highly recommended! Open ES File Explorer. They may also feature UAS, which improves data transfer speed, but it’s unclear as to whether AFT can utilize UAS. So no.So there isn’t any workaround to move the DATA part to the USB drive? It’s 20 years old. I’m too scared to update to the new rom until someone knows for sure how it all works out.I have tried this. However, when I select a folder, there is no media visible.I have no problem accessing with my WDTV and Android phones, but the Fire defeats me.I have stickMount installed correctly but when I try to mount, I get this popup:“The mount service is busy – tragin again in a few seconds.”After trying again, it still shows the same message?

2nd-Gen Fire TV also only supports FAT32 — No NTFS or exFAT support for either USB or MicroSD. I got my 4GB USB recognized instantly though. I can transfer a file from my pc to the firetv using a samba app just fine. It looks like it’s not granting access or something, but I’ve tried it a few times and still no luck. It’s actually happened twice and now all of my files are accessible through /ParagonNTFS_2.Anyone have the same problem or a solution? The AFTV then lists no external storage. How do I fix this to get my hard drives working again? I’ve been doing this since Nov’2014.I bought my sister an Amazon USB hub and her AFTV has 5 3.5″ HDD’s attached to it and all are being read/written to just fine from Kodi.The information in this post refers only to Amazon’s official USB support. I’ve tried:– I installed the app on my phone and used APK backup feature in ES File Explorer to grab the APK.– I tried getting the APK from the APK Pure website in the article.– I tried copying the APK directly onto the device and installing it from there, using ES File Explorer.Upgrade to a preRooted FireOS 5 FW following Elias guides.I want to ask a related question. For starters, with a rooted Fire TV you can play media files from a USB drive or external hard drive. Thanks!Has anyone figured out how to connect USB NTFS drives when updating to the most recent ROM in FTV2? This guide will show you how to mount a drive plugged into the Fire TV’s USB port and play video and music files via XBMC.does not work here with me… firetv rooted, tried two different usb-sticks formatted with different filesystems (ext2, ntfs, fat32, exfat)Works great, thanks for the easy to follow writeup.I followed all the procedures, shows usbstorage/sda1, but no folders inside my 1TB HD?
