Keep drive spinning…

Hi All,

How difficult would it be to create an addon that does a directory listing or writes a random file to an external hard drive every 60 seconds? The goal is to stop the external hard drive from sleeping (spinning down)

Once it spins down the drive disappears from Kodi and does not come back for some reason, probably something to do with the android box I’m using. (Android 5.1.1, Kodi v16.1)

I thought if it’s not too hard I might try creating an addon myself.

Thanks.
