Greetings,
Just started using XBMC not to long ago on my android phone, first time poster. I use Plex but am upset with their lack of buffering on mobile devices when on a crappy connetion (3G/poor 4g on sprint). This is where I love XBMC, It will buffer for maybe 15 minutes or so, but then I can play an hour of the movie uninterupted which is better than Plex buffering for 30 seconds and playing 30 seconds.. Anyways on to my problem.
So far I've only used XBMC's add-ons for playing videos (mash-up) with great success however I'm running into a problem when trying to connect to my remote server using NFS.
(From Phone)
Problem: I go to Videos->Files->Add Videos->path.to.server.ip-> done -> name -> ok
When I click on 'name of source' I see my 3 directories I've enabled NFS sharing on:
/Movies
/Tv
/etc
this is where the problem comes in, when I try to open any of these 3 directories nothing happens
If i go into file manager and add the ip of my server there I can see the 3 parent folders there as well however if I try to go inside of them I get "Could not connect to network server"
Server is running Windows Server 2008 R2 with nfs services installed. All I have done other than installing that role is right click on the folder I wish to add, clicked on NFS sharing-> manage NFS sharing, left everything as default->Permissions->checked Allow root access->ok->Apply
basically I've followed the guide here http://www.mediasmartserver.net/2011/12/...-whs-2011/
Thank you for any help you can provide!
Very Respectfully,
Brandon
