So the main selling point of this box is that it will work as a media box, and a gaming box. I've attached a USB drive to my shield for some storage, and wanted to convert it from NTFS to EXT4 which will definately take some linux knowledge. Decided to load up Linux Deploy, install Arch Linux, installed the needed partitioning tools, and linked the proper files. I'll hopefully do a full write-up soon, but I have managed to do the following things with this chroot that SHOULD be useful to anyone using this for kodi to make it completely self sufficent.
-Managed Volumes with Gparted
-Rename files with Filebot
-Manage entire disk with Linux tools for ease of use.
I'm sure I'll find more to share, but hopefully someone is interested. I no longer have my PC at all, so I only have androids in my house. 1 phone, 1 tablet, and 1 Shield-TV.
Questions, comments, ideas? Please post them below or PM me.
EDIT: Thought this was posting in the nvidia-shield-tv section. It apparently didn't. If a mod sees this, can it be moved please?
