Hi, I'm new here and a new MINIX hub user so forgive me for my probably stupid question.

I use a 2 TB western digital external HDD for my movies and series. As I connect it to the NEO T5 it only allows me to format the drive. So, after formatting the HDD , I would like to copy my movie and series back onto the HDD from my laptop. When HDD is connected to laptop , my laptop does not see the drive and I cannot "load " the HDD with files to use with the NEO T5. Besides this problem, I do not succeed to connect the hub to my network, wireless or wired.

Could someone please help me out here for if what I want to do is not possible , the device is useless for me.

Thank you!

What format is the HDD using?

Have you tried error checking the drive from your laptop?
 
Hello, I have the same issue with my new T5. I want to install a 3-party APK, I've tried via USB stick as well as micro-SD card, but the only option is to format those on the T5 which makes it impossible for a PC to recognize (the warning on the T5 says so as well). On the T5 there is no way I can find the APK file on my storage devices..... pl;s HELP? Thank you!

Which file format are you using?

Please try exFAT

Then install FX File Explorer to navigate to the USB stick.

can you not simply download the apk on your T5 internal storage ?
or to transfer an apk from your PC
another option would be to use adblink >> http://jocala.com/
or use a file explorer with FTP facility

bear in mind though whatever apk you are trying to install may not work on T5 AndroidTV
