Newbie Here - gaff - 27th Sep, 2013 01:55 AM
Hi I am a newbie at Xbian and Linux, I have just manged to install and got the Xbian to run on my newly acquired Raspberry Pi.
However I face a rather silly issue. I am unable to add videos, and hence unable to play them.
I managed to find my portable hard drive at "/media/Seagate......" and have added that location. I have tried with movie scrapper and without, but still unable to see any movies appearing.
I need help here. Hope someone will help a noob like me. Thanks!

Please read "Please read before you post" a link is in my signature.
You will need to ssh into your RPi and post the output of dmesg and df -h.
Also as root: start dbus; stop xbmc; start xbmc
and see if your disk drive is visible in Videos.

From the configuration menu, go to Services. Find dbus, select and then start. Then xbmc and stop it. Afterwards start it again.
To get to the terminal you just have to exit the menu.
Also can you rename the thread to something more conducive to the problem. "Newbie Here" is not very helpful.
