exfat package on HDR-FOX T2 customised firmware

[paultry]

Hi, I've just installed the HDR_FOX_T2_1.03.12_mod_3.13 (horizontal tuner sockets), then the full web interface, then the exfat package. I formatted a 3GB flash drive as exFAT (32kB units i.e. default) on Windows 10 and copied a video file on it whilst on Windows 10. It's read by Windows 10, and by Linux Mint. When I plug it into the HDR-FOX T2 I can see it via the Web-IF in 'browse media files', but if I go to the official interface it isn't there. It's had a full turn off/on with the switch at the back after putting it in standby. This seems wrong, surely the exFAT package is supposed to make it read/write in the official interface? Any help much appreciated, I'm new to Humax custom firmware.

From the relevant thread:

Note that this package does not add exFAT support to your system, only provides a simple method for you to do it yourself. This is because there are licence and patent issues around exFAT and if we were to make the compiled exFAT code available in the repository then we would be in violation of at least some of them.

There are two main methods for finding information about any particular package: the wiki (link at the top of the page), and my Index (pinned at the top of the CF forum). Obviously, the discussion thread is more verbose but more likely to reflect the current state, and you can add a question.

Update: Belay that. That's the old exfat-builder package. Checking the discussion mentions there is a subsequent exfat package which just does it, but there are comments towards the end of the aforementioned thread which might be applicable.

However, personally, I would settle for NTFS (ntfs-3g package).
