Hey @damc4,
home is auto-connected by default ;).
Do you consider accessing files from removable media is a typical use case for your acoder? I ask since as you can read in Process for aliases, auto-connections and tracks, when the interface is connected, it gets unrestricted access to all data from any plugged media. The user voice is then very important to allow such access. As you can also see in the documentation, if granted you will need to be vetted. Does acoder have an official contact/support email?
You can otherwise prompt the user to manually connect it if needed (e.g. Approval request for list-filesystem - lfs)
