Accessing media on second drive

1st Official Post

    Hello,

    I have a Raspberry Pi 4 with a 2TB SSD drive and a SDHC card. I have a setup where I can boot from the SSD (without SDHC card) directly into Libreelec which accesses the media content on that same SSD drive without any problems.

    However I also have a separate SDHC card with the same version of Libreelec which I use for testing and for if I have any problems booting the SSD. Whichever I use they both access the media/storage content that is based on the SSD drive. I just have one little issue accessing the media content when booting from the SDHC. The only way I can currently get it to see the media content is by using Samba which means using the IP address assigned to the Pi 4. This is ok unless I move the Pi 4 to a different location were it uses a different IP address. I was wondering if there was a way Libreelec could access the media content on the SSD when booting from the SDHC without having to use an IP address.

    Thanks in advance.

    Matt.

    The EXT4 filesystem and content of the SSD should be auto mounted by the kernel and visible under /var/media/<name/UUID of SSD> ?

    Thanks for your message. I'll look there the next time I get chance to check it.
