Cool....
The stuck on logo screen or booting 53-54-55 on up is caused by the image having a problem writing to the usb drive. It is usually fixed in the next build or release by the coders. Seems they forget or leave something out of the release to recognize the partition. It happens with many of the images during their current releases.
Another way around this is to use the receiver to format the drive into two partitions. One in fat32 so that your pc will be able to recognize any files or videos on that partition. Another partition in ext4 so that the images have no problem writing to the partition. Just make the ext4 partition big enough to hold the anticipated amount or size of the images.
I should have done this a long time ago with my internal drive, but now I have so much stuff on it, that I am reluctant to transfer and start all over. Maybe when I have some free time......
