How can I turn off "auto scan for USB"?

[kbyrd]

I've got Sage 6.5 beta running on Linux with an HD200 extender. This Linux server boots and has '/' entirely on a USB stick, and I also plug in the occasional drive via usb for backup. Sage detects both these and creates mount points under /var/media/external/. Also, when I plug in my USB backup drive, the UI asks if I want to scan/import/copy. I never want this to happen. I want Sage to leave my USB devices alone and let me look for them manually if I want to. How do I turn off this behavior?

Go into the Detailed Setup-Customize and turn off "Display popup when new drive is detected."

I should have mentioned in my first post that I already tried that, and that I'm using SageMC.

It works that way in SageMC. The issue is probably being on Linux. It works either with the default or SageMC on Windows.

Sorry about the double post. Don't know what happened.

In any case, this is still happening for me. Even without SageMC, the Linux Server software always mounts USB devices, I would really like to be able to tell it to leave them alone.

I am running latest 6.3.8b and 6.5.6 Beta. I have disabled "Display pop-up when a new drive detected" option under SageTV detailed setup...but the pop-up keeps coming! Any suggestions?

thanks,

I've got this exact same problem with these same versions. Using Linux server and an extender.
I posted about it here

FYI, I use a Windows XP SageTVClient and I have the same issue...kbyrd noticed my post...so now I am here...not just a linux issue though...

Did you also disable it on the actual SageTV server? (Not the client.)

I confirmed it is disabled on both the server and the client that is annoying me...I have a bunch of clients do I have to check every one?

In my case with the extender, I looked in both properties files and didn't see a setting that made sense (I searched for 'media' and 'auto'). What's the string for this setting?

How about this?

ui/notify_on_new_drive=false

grep turned up the following hits in /opt/sage/server/

./clients/001d6a4c012d.properties.autobackup:ui/notify_on_new_drive=false
./clients/001d6a4c012d.properties:ui/notify_on_new_drive=false

It also turned up a few hits in SageTV3 xml files. But those just look like the UI in various languanges.

Although it was set to disable, I did find a =true argument in my Server Sage.properties. I changed that to false and we'll see (although the client was the one exhibiting the annoying behavior. I also confirmed false on 3 or no statement at all on my 4 extenders...

I fixed this last night. I should have an updated pre-release posted later today.

Aloha,

...and many weeks later I tried this and can confirm it works.
