Hi, searched for solution to my problem to no avail. I bought a San disc cruiser 64 gb for my h2s. However my box won't recognise it .under installation it says " no storage devices found" I formatted the stick on my PC, the record and time settings appear to be OK. I'm stumped ! Any help would be appreciated

Tried to initialise the drive after this message, but then get this...
Error:unmount:can't unmount/media/sdb1: device or resource busy
Can anyone help? I've just upgraded my hhd, formatted and tried as instructed but still can't pause etc
It won't let me create a swap file.
I've just reformatted the hard drive in my mac to MS-DOS BUT STILL HAVE THE SAME PROBLEMS
You need to take all your recording timeshift epg and anything else you have on the hdd external drive off the destination via the recording timeshift and epg settings ie. Take the hard drive out. Turn box off put box back on with the external hard drive connected back in Initialise the hard drive. Go into set up mounts and it will show u where it is mounted . You may need to change it to ex 3 or 4 after initializing

Hi all,
Super newbie here, couldn't find how to start a new thread, so i thought I'd piggy back on this one.
I've just flashed my new Zegemma H2s with wooshbuild V6. I was wondering if anyone can assist me with instructions on how to set the USB stick to turn off when the box is turned off. Currently when I put the box on standby the light on my USB stick is constantly flashing away. Left it over night came back in the morning and it was still flashing away.
I have gone to device setup and set the settings to turn off the hardrive after 5 mins. Still no joy

I have put my USB in the to the back of the Zgemma box. I then Initialise it. I completed the second step listed here and rebooted (not sure what these step is for?)
But when I got to step 3, of changinf where the files where saved to, I couldn’t change it from the internal hard drive? Does anyone know why?

what image are you using.?
Really not sure. I bought the box all loaded up. I’ve found swap manager under info panel and plugins. Will this workout the same?

what does your box show on screen when booting up?
VIX is an image, so wont show in a menu,
seems you are using ATV, or a build of,
swap in Vix is
menu > ViX > swap manager
so different from yours
I’ve been reading how to setup hdd and every says after initialising you go to menu>setup>vix...
My box shows ipab tv

so you are using a build,
I'm not even sure if ipab is based on ViX or Atv ,
it doesnt really matter tbh,
once you have your HDD mounted as /hdd
then setup your swapfile to that location, and set your epg to save there as well
if you google ipab
they should have a setup guide on there site
tbh, from what I understand of it, its more an image geared to iptv, rather than simply sat or cable
Thanks for you help. Sorry if I’m being daft but how do I set the hdd up to mount?
NO WOrries thanks for your help
