      I recently did a fresh install of RetroPie and installed Kodi from the optional packages. Whenever I boot to Kodi I am unable to find my media files or my flash drive. I have tried browsing under video and from file manager but no luck.
      I'm using a 64gb flash drive. It was originally formatted to fat32 and I switched it back to exfat thinking that there was a size/format issue.
      I never had issues detecting drives when I ran OSMC or Kodi from a dual-boot setup. I'm wondering if there's a format issue or a package I'm missing somewhere?
      At one point the drive briefly showed up under file manager within Kodi before disappearing but has yet to make another appearance. When I unplug the drive a message pops up telling me the drive has been successfully unmounted. Any ideas or suggestions?
