Allow access to USB storage

[tim-elmer]

I was hoping to use BlackPlayer to build a library around media stored on a thumbdrive, but the drive does not appear in the library folder selection.

Use case: I'm trying to use BlackPlayer on an android-based Honda head unit. It's running Android 4.4 or something around there. This works fine on my 8.0 phone, but not on the older system.

VLC and PowerAmp can do this, so I know it's not impossible! :)

Hello

It should work.

What is the file path to your usb drive?

Thanks

Okay thank you.

I have added that path to the next version of BlackPlayer to be scanned. But I am not able to test it out, contact me again when you get the next version if this solve the problem or not.

Best Regards

Thanks! Will do.

BlackPlayer now sees the drive, and will add items to the library from it. Thanks!

Point of interest: I ended up disabling automatic track deletion in the BP library, as the whole library gets wiped out if BP launches before the thumb drive mounts.
