Flash Drive Fix to Allow Custom Light Shows AND Still Have a TeslaCam Folder to Allow Image Captures

[rkpgmp1]

I'd like to know if anyone out there has been able to have Custom Light Shows and the TeslaCam folder (that allows one to capture images and Sentry videos) loaded onto the same flash drive. I can have a flash drive with "LightShow" folder and am able to run any light show on the CT, but as soon as I create a "TeslaCam" folder, I go back to only the standard light show. Thanks all, and Happy New Year!

You need to partition whatever drive you are doing for the different components. This can be done with a thumb drive but I'm using an USB C SSD portable drive that I already had (not specifically a recommendation just what I'm using https://amazon.com/dp/B08GV9M64L). All partitions need to be at least 33GB and exFAT format.

1TB version example (drive/partition names):
* TESLADRIVE - works as the default usb drive (cameras, lock sound, etc) (513GB could be bigger if wanted)
* Copy everything from your default USB drive into this partition/drive.
* LightShow - has to still have a LightShow folder in it with the lightshow files (lightshow.fseq lightshow.mp3) but works. (33GB)
* Music - shows up as a USB drive to pull music from (formats: wav, mp3, mp4, m4a so far). (103GB)
* Boombox - just another music folder (remainder as available storage and incase Boombox is ever brought back)

The vehicle doesn't care what you name your partitions, it is irrelevant.

• You need a separate partition for Sentry.
• You need a separate partition for Music.
• You need a separate partition for LightShow.

Additionally, you need specific Folders:

• For Sentry, you need /TeslaCam (and the appropriate subfolders).
• For music, you need /Music (and all the subfolders you can stand).
• For LightShow, you /LightShow (but no subfolders!).

If you put all these folders together on the same partition, some (all?) won't work.

For each LightShow there are two files, "lightshow.fseq" and "lightshow.wav" (or mp3). You can have multiples by using unique names, but make sure you use the same name for fseq file and audio file.

I haven't tested changing the partition names so I stuck with the instructions that worked for me.
Great to know though.
