I have trouble setting up NFS on Eden.
Add videos -> browse -> nfs
nfs server is shown
shares are shown but can't browse or select them
-> ok
Select source in file view shows only a list of the nfs shares. Can't browse to subfolders. Where does Eden place the exported path? I can't find the files.
I have a working setup on the same box (Openelec Dharma) with NFS to my NAS. So i know the server is ok.

you missed the wiki entry which says you have to activate the nfs server for allowing connections from privileged ports. Its just about adding the "insecure" flag into the exports line (speaking for a linux nfs server). Read the NFS Wiki entry i linked to in my signature and do the right thing for your nfs server.

When using USB drives on Synology NAS in combination with NFS shares the "insecure" option will changed back to "insecure_locks" on each NAS reboot. So XBMC is not able to access the NFS share any longer (tested on DS211j latest DSM 4.x).
To solve this I tried using the 3rd party application "autorun" to change the exports file when connecting the USB drive to the NAS. But autorun will be triggered by plugin the drive and not during a restart or similar.
The final solution was to change the exports file on NAS startup by adding a "sed" (sed -i 's/insecure_locks/insecure/g' /etc/exports) text change within the NFS startup script and using exportfs -ra afterwards.
I'm not sure if this has to be added to the wiki, but it could help someone who's running into the same issue.

what if you add the nfs url manually without using the nfs browser? nfs://ip/nameofexport/ ...

I reinstalled everything today, so I can browse NFS shares now.
adding them manually has always worked, to answer your question.
I have some really weird problems with my NAS, so I have to check into some things anyway.
so everything is fine for now here.
Thanks for replying.
