    I have been using a 4gig thumbdrive and just bought a 8 gig so i can put tv shows and movies on it quicker than ftping them to my xbox hd. 4 gig works great for this but it wont recongnize the 8 gig. Im guessing there is a cap on how big you can use. Can anyone tell me for sure and if there is anyway to use this 8 gig. I am using t3ch's latest and greatest version of xbmc. thanks!!!

    What I recently found was that if your setup is networked, and your sources are setup, all you need to do is plug in the thumb drive into your PC. Go to My Computer. Right Click. Select properties. Select Sharing. Check box to allow.

    The next time you search your sources, on your networked pc, you should then see the flash drive.

    The best part is you don't need to reformat the drive, and size limitation is not an issue.

    Hope that helps.
