Connect the Hard Drive to your Windows PC and in My Computer right click the Drive icon and you can give the Hard Drive a name. Remember that each drive must have a unique name example Hard Drive1, Hard Drive2 etc etcWin7, 8, 8.1, 10 users - Safe Removal is incompatible with the linux NTFS code. Instead use Utility to Eject the Mede8er (or shared external USB drive) - USB Disk Ejector

V4.0.2_6April20161. Fix old YouTube Trailer Links - When doing a 'Add Trailers' old YouTube links will be updated
2. tmdb has a silly limitation that if a Trailer is added in a particular language then it will not show in English and you cannot add it in English on the tmdb website - added workaround and if a Trailer is not found when doing a 'Scan' or 'Add Trailers' firmware will check a few other Languages to see if a Trailer exists.
3. Fix time out problem when performing 'Add Trailers' - If 'Add Trailers' is performed on a large movie collection then the function can be inhibited - now switch off the screensaver during the 'Add Trailers' scan.
V4.0.2_16March2016
Thanks to jer1956 for his great work - without his perseverance we would never have been able to fix this.
1. Fixed Movie Trailers
In order to use the Movie Trailers on existing collections you must focus on the Movie JukeBox icon on the Favourites screen and press the 'menu' button on the remote and select 'Add Trailers' and X3D will scan all the movies and add a new link to the xml file in each movie folder.
You can play the Movie Trailer from the Movie Info Sheet 'about.jpg' by pressing the Right Nav button to select the Trailer Icon and then pressing Enter. This is work in progress and the code can be optimized based on user feedback.

V4.0.2_7Nov2015
1. Fixed Movie Trailer functionality - changed api for Movie Trailers
(3 Dec 2015 Trailer Play functionality broken again due to changes on external Trailer Server that are totally out of our control) To update the Movie Trailer Links on an existing collection Navigate to Favourites screen and focus on the Movie JukeBox Icon and press the 'Menu' button on the remote and select option 'Add Trailers' and the firmware will update all the existing trailers to the new api.
This can take some time depending on the quantity of movies in the collection.
The new trailer embed player has no explicit auto play on load command, unlike YouTube. So the main code has to wait for 3 seconds, and then sends a separate play command. If you have slow access to the trailer server that may be too quick, leaving the display stuck showing the Play button. You will find a Trailer Timeout setting on the last page of setup. You can make that longer to compensate.
2. Fixed Music Playlist Crash
