Hi, I need help to find out what has gone wrong. I have been using device for few months already and always with HDD connected and shared via openwrt/samba. Issue started one week ago out of nowhere. Now if HDD is connected, Android is freezing in a minute or too. It doesn't react to anything. The only thing I can do is to turn it off using the switch on the back panel. What should i look for, is there any logger I could use to find the issue?
You need to eliminate potential root causes first indeed. The HDD drive/content it the first. Next we have Android+APPs and last OpenWrt. So when the HDD is verified 100% error free and working flawless under Windows (presuming it is formatted NTFS) move it to the player and try if works flawless there too. If not re-install the firmware via the RESTORE button for a clean install. If it works well look at OpenWrt/Samba again. Is it USB or External SATA attached?
