Thanks to OpenELEC forum, here are the steps how to format and mount a media hard drive: If you are using an additional media hard drive, you will need to format and mount it before it is available in the OpenELEC.įirst, you will need to open a SSH connection to the OpenELEC using an application such as Putty.

Type “parted -l” to check which label your second hard drive has.

In my case the 2TB hard drive was /dev/sda.

Create a new GPT partition structure on /dev/sda by typing “parted -a optimal /dev/sda mklabel gpt”.

Add an ext4 partition from 1MB to -1MB from the end of the drive by typing “parted -a optimal /dev/sda mkpart - primary ext4 1 -1”.

Add the ext4 filesystem and label the drive as NEWDRIVE (or any drive name that you wish to use) by typing “mkfs.ext4 -L NEWDRIVE /dev/sda1”.

Run a filesystem check, which will automount the new partition by typing “fsck.ext4 /dev/sda1”.

Now you can reboot your OpenELEC HTPC and the new drive will mount automatically. Your second hard drive can be found from the folder /var/media/NEWDRIVE.

Next, let’s continue to customize the media center. The default Confluence skin is quite nice to begin with, but if you want to have a truly beautiful media center, you should install a more advanced skin such as an Aeon Nox skin. In order to install Aeon Skin, go to System > Appearance > Skin > Get More… and then install the Aeon Nox skin. The Aeon skin does not support mouse, so you should disable the mouse (System > System > Input devices > Enable mouse) to avoid any annoying error messages. If you are using optical output or HDMI for sound (analog is selected by default), you can change the audio output within the same menu (System > System > Audio output). Last but not least, you should change the settings for the weather channel (System > Weather > General > Settings).
