Having issues with using my 1T External USB drive in the out-of-the-box VIX media player (unsure of the official name). Disk has been used successfully on previous Apollo versions before the "feed restructure" forcing re-flash

Vu+ Solo
Version: Apollo
Build: 041
Kernel: 3.9.6
Drivers: 2014-07-15
Last update: 2014-09-29

Default Skin

Plugins installed (apart from default Build plugins):
ntfs-3g (1.0-r0) - installed via the feeds

Did full restart after plugin install external hard drive not connected at all until after completed restart

First run:
-Accessing the Media Player shows no content
-Pressing Location (Yellow), brings up a) /media/hdd/movie b) Expansion /media/hdd/
-Selecting any location listed, gives error saying Directory does not exist on drive
-Back in the empty Move Player list hitting (Menu) on remote, select Device mounts after a display of "please wait while..." I get a crash log displayed that mentions "transport endpoint is not connected /media/hdd/" (I'm not able to FTP to retrieve the full log atm)

Second run:
-Tried full restart while external HDD connected, restart never completes with swirling VIX logo in top left corner or screen
-Disconnected HDD, hard restart using restart button back of STB
-After restarted successfully connected HDD and opened media player
-Successfully listed hdd directory in media directory, entering hdd direcotry succesfully lists HDD content on disk, browsed to subfolder on disk called "Video" sucessfully listed sub folders again, browsed subfolder "_Series"
-Failed to list content in subfolder "_Series" showing only the ".." browsing option, that brings me back to subsequent (empty) folders all the way back to /media/ where now hdd and autofs is showing as folders, both showing empty content when entering

Third run:
-Tried full restart while external HDD connected, restart never completes with swirling VIX logo in top left corner or screen
-Same procedure and results as Second run
-Back in "empty" movie player list hit (Menu)-button on remote, choose "Device Mounts"
-Correctly showing USB: Expansion, Size: 976.76GB, Mount: /media/hh, Device /dev/sda1 Type: fuseblk R/W
-Choosing Setup Mounts (Green), USB: Expansion showing, hitting Save (Green) system ask for restart for changes to take effect, choose YES
-Once restart is done, enter Media Player listing in /media/ is hdd and autofs
-Tries to open "hdd" but system locks up in swirling VIX logo in top left corner or screen
 
Just me having issues with NTFS HDDs on Build 041? Can someone confirm this the ntfs plugin is working flawlessly for them? Thanks
