[VU+ Solo2] EPG Location Setting - Only Showing Internal flash option

[Aletank]

I'm just setting up my Solo2 with 1TB internal HDD, I've come to the EPG Location Setting and it is only showing Internal Flash, I was expecting it to have a Media/HDD option

Any help much appreciated

Have you initialised the internal disk from the settings menu? You need to do this (note it will delete everything from the disk - same as format in Windows environment). It will then mount it as media/HDD

Only mounts that were/are available at boottime will show. So if an internal HDD doesn't show as optional USB-location, there's something wrong with the mount.
Check in the mountmanager if you see the HDD mounted as such; if not correct it and reboot.

Hi, you need to make sure the internal HDD has been mounted in vix.

Check this by going to the Main Menu, Setup, Vix, Mount Manager. Then mount the drive by pressing the blue button.

It is not a drop down menu. You have to press right/left until your preferred one is selected.

There is no other options (left/right) - Just Internal Flash showing

I'm not sure it it's needed but did you reboot box after you initialised it?

If you did and you still don't get any other epg location then could you telnet into your box and issue the following command and paste results here...

df -h

It is mounted. Which right/left buttons are you pressing?

The left/right with the OK in the middle, I've gone down to other options and they change OK

I think I've done this right, I've installed Dreambox Control Centre

Please upload screenshots to the forum, not external sites.
Worth reading on how to take a proper screenshot rather than camera pics.

If the drive is formatted properly, it will show in mount manager as well as being available to EPG downloads.

The only reason for the HDD not being available as USB-location would be that the mount isn't available at boottime.
To fix this: in mountmanager please click on 'green' (to setup mounts). Set/change HDD to HDD, click on save and reboot when requested.
