To unmount the Ricoh THETA camera as a storage device for streaming, you may follow these general steps based on the information shared in community discussions and guides. This typically involves ensuring that any relevant file management processes that might automatically mount the device are stopped. Here are the basic steps:

1. Stop Automatic Mounting:

   • If your system is automatically mounting the THETA camera as a storage device, you might need to disable this feature. You can do this by modifying your system settings or using specific commands to prevent the camera from being mounted on connection.

2. Manual Unmount Command:

   • If the camera is already mounted, you will need to unmount it manually. You can typically do this using a terminal command if you’re on a Linux-based system. Use the following command to unmount the camera:

     sudo umount /media/your_mount_point
     

   • Replace /media/your_mount_point with the actual path where the THETA camera is mounted.

3. Check Device Status:

   • After unmounting, verify that the camera is no longer recognized as a storage device by checking the connected USB devices.

   • Ensure that the THETA appears as a video device (like /dev/video0) but not as a mounted storage device.

4. Using the THETA API:

   • If you are using the specific USB API for control and streaming, make sure that you consult the THETA USB API documentation for proper configurations.
