can’t had usb drive as video source – kripton

Hello all,

I’m using an android based media box with kodi 17.1 (kripton). I’m using confluence skin (as if it makes a difference).
When I try to add video source, my external usb hard drive does not appear in the list of possible sources, therefore I can’t create a video library form that drive.
I’ve tried several things I’ve read in the forum, like going trough the root drive and locate the “media” folder, which in my case it does not exist, so I’ve tried the “storage” folder inside the root but nothing happened as well… I’ve also read all the wikis about adding video sources but reached at no conclusion why the external drive doesn’t show up in browsing window.

So, surely I’m missing something in the fine print. But, is there a possibility that Kripton isn’t behaving as expected?

Any suggestions?

Any help would be aprecciated.

Thank you
