        @Camillo-Melanzane maybe, i think there is not much work to do for that. Have you tried an exfat disk ?

          @Substring. Yes, I use a 2TB external drive. It does work with NTFS and Ext4, but it doesn't work with exFat. Unfortunately I am on Mac which doesn't support NTFS and Ext4.

              exFAT will be supported on 4.1 (already implemented).

                @Camillo-Melanzane use a real linux system to get the full support of all filesystems 😉

                  Thank you guys! In this case I'll wait for the first 4.1 betas 🙂

                  Fat32 does not allow files larger than 4GB. I also use Kodi for streaming.
