DM800SE AND USB problem

[Napster]

Ok chaps update for you I have got round to reflashing my image and all green screen crashes have gone, but I still can't get my 16gb USB stick to work if you look at old 4gb and 16gb they are setup the same, I can get epg working on it but not picon this has to be something daft, or could it be the old DBuk 1.1 image could that be the issue, added screen shot of 16gb stick after its been added to box. look at circled bit why does it do this.

Please help

Napster, that just the allocation unit size i.e. data is written in chunks or allocation units, that describes the size of each chunk. So even if only 1 byte of data is written, that 1 byte of data will occupy 8192 bytes. The size of the allocation unit will vary depending on the total size of the stick so you'll probably find that your 4gb stick will have a smaller allocation unit size.

So when you plug the stick in, if you then go into the Setup, System, then Harddisk menu does the stick appear there? If it does then have you tried initialising it in there?

Have you tried mounting it from the DBUK menu when you press the blue button?

No m8 I haven't tried that, just pluged it in and initialised it through system setup! Then copied over picons to it

Its worth a try m8,also some reports say using a usb hub can help as well,if you have one lying around

ok morning report done everything you chaps has suggested and still the bloody same, even when i download dbuk picons it didn't show them but i think that maybe the picon path and wasn't sure what to change it to, its set to media/usb/picon and in glass skin its set to media/usb, dont know what else to try aprt from newer image.

 

[Rat]

I advised you change the skin Martin to rule out it was glass skin making any changes
have you done that ?
