oke, with a usb stick its working normally

Is the SSD drive enclosure you're using connected via USB?
Approximately how many songs are stored on it? We need to locate the SSD + drive enclosure connected to USB to test it, correct?

sleis

SSD about 5000 songs in a icy box IB-273StU3 connected at usb port from dudu7

How long does it take for your hard drive to boot up?
I tested using an external hard drive enclosure with a 500GB SSD, and it can play videos after waking from hibernation, though it's a bit slower.

If you frequently use local music, we recommend importing your music files to internal storage for an optimal experience.

sleis

Yes i understand that as a temporary solution. For future implementation how should i handle/deal with you? Make a feature request?
My plan is (was?) to use local video also, that means to handle a couple of terabytes

I'm not sure how long it takes for your SSD to fully load after waking from sleep.
In theory, using an SSD in an in-car infotainment system isn't common, so slow loading is to be expected. If you're using it for music playback, this isn't ideal—I'd recommend storing music files on the internal storage instead.
Alternatively, try reformatting the SSD.

But you did not give any recommendations about formatting. As it is a native linux system i tried ext4 but this does not work at all.

Maybe you could workout a recommendation for large external storage expansion because internal storage will always stay restricted amount of storage.

Did you directly use the system hard drive from a Linux computer on DUDU7?

sleis

no, this did not work

You should provide/support a tool for formatting and or partitioning to be sure its best compatibility

DUDU-Meng

We do not specifically support hard drives. Our USB design is intended for standard flash drives. I am unsure of the mode your SSD uses or whether it has partitions. We have tested a 500GB hard drive used with Windows to store files, and it functions without issues.

sleis

So what is the maximum (standard flash drive) storage dudu os supports?

DUDU-Meng

sleis
It is recommended to use a USB drive no larger than 128GB. For drives exceeding 128GB, you will need to test their compatibility yourself.
Additionally, the most compatible file formats are FAT32 and EXFAT.

If i know this before buy it was sure just off spec.

external memory less than internal? That is not useful. And all this in cause of lack of software development

sleis

It is just about storage, that is no rocket sience.

DUDU-Meng

sleis You should know that when converting an SSD drive to a USB interface, the initial read speed will be slow.
It's fine for storing some commonly used files, but if you want it to store music and play immediately upon startup, an SSD converted to USB won't load that quickly whether you plug it into a PC or any tablet.
So my suggestion is, if you like listening to local music, you can save your music files to the internal storage.

Sinceramente no es una solución a medio plazo almacenar todo en la memoria interna.
En mi caso son 128GB.

Usted esta centrando el problema en la reproducción inmediata y ese no es el problema que se debe solucionar .
El problema raíz es que la mayoria de veces no ofrece la lista de reproducción almacenada en el SSD aunque esperes indefinidamente.
Es como si Dudu no detectase o encontrase los archivos de música o vídeos.
Yo he probado al menos 5 apps de reproducción de música y videos y algunas nunca mostraron los archivos, otras los mostraban aleatoriamente si o no ..pero la mayoria de veces no encontraba los archivos.

Solo encontré 1 app que siempre me muestra los archivos de reproduccion y por ahora nunca ha fallado.

La app se llama Arc video Player

Yo creo que el problema lo tiene Dudu dependiendo de la App que se utilice para reproducir música o videos , lo cual limita muchisimo las apps que se puedan usar .

sleis

oke, my pc also needs about 2 seconds to recognize my 21000 songs, but then its reliable always 2 seconds, hence it plays ALWAYS after 2 seconds after reconnecting.
I mark it as solved, but i think there is still room to make your software better.

A mi me pasa exactamente lo mismo con mi SSD de 1Tb marca Samsung T7 Shield.

Con una aplicación selecciono ruta donde tengo videos musicales o archivos Mp3 y aleatoriamente me los detecta y puedo reproducirlo y otras veces es imposible detectarlos y reproducirlos.
Me he dado cuenta que dependiendo de la App es imposible detectarlos y reproducirlos , otras Apps este problema es Aleatorio .

Y encontré una App la cual nunca falla y siempre los detecta y reproduce.

Yo creo que es un problema combinado de software de Dudu con la propia app que se intenta usar para la reproducción.

Prueba esta app que te indicó a ver si con ella siempre te muestras archivos y siempre los reproduce.
