What needs to be done to use a HDD with nexus player?

by tor_tech_stupid

Just wondering how I can use a HDD with me NP? I've seen reference to having to use a specific app from chainfire, a modded bootloader, and a full on new rom. What do I have to do?

What are you trying to use it for?

What about a link to a OTG cable that will work for the Nexus from Amazon?

Do all the pending system updates. Out of the box NP wont let you us the HDD. Marshmallow lets you access it no problem.

From what I am seeing the issue is with the file system of the drive. It looks like NTFS is read only (but kodi can't use it), Fat32 is usable and has limits, and exfat is not usable.

I would experiment with usb drives to see what file systems work.
