Which is the good news.
The bad news is that I have yet to be able to watch a video all the way through.
lXBMC.log
The video in question is an xvid with mp3 stereo in an avi container.
The box is an ATV1 running XBMC 33fcf32.
Here's a log file fragment from the almost immediate failure of another video, same codecs, same container:

The log file is here:
xbmc.log
The video is an XviD/AC3 in an AVI container.
Typically, videos on an NFS share play for a few minutes and then freeze or freeze immediately without playing at all. This one played for a few minutes before freezing. After a freeze, the ATV has to be rebooted (sudo killall XBMC does nothing).
This always happens with all videos on an NFS share. It happens only with extreme rarity with videos on an SMB share. (By extreme rarity, I mean once every few months.) I've never been able to play a video on an NFS share more than two or three minutes.
This is still an ATV1 running XBMC 33fcf32.

Sorry. I assumed that:
Code:
16:12:26 T:61968384 M: 26669056 WARNING: CRenderManager::FlipPage - timeout waiting for previous framemeant that XBMC was waiting for a video frame from the file on the NFS server.
What does it mean?

I have XBMC installed on a wired MacMini and a wireless MacBook. Both freeze when playing videos from NFS shares. Here are the log files:
MacBook XBMC.log
MacMini XBMC.log
Both are on 33fcf32.
Note that the MacMini is also the NFS server.

I installed 4f0a8cc on the MacMini (2GHz, 4GB, 10.6.8).
Froze instantly when playing a video on an NFS share.

I wondered if my problem with NFS might be related to the NFS server on my MacMini or a network problem.
So, I mounted the NFS share on a wireless MacBook. I then played several videos on the NFS share using both VLC and the QuickTime player. All the videos played flawlessly. I tried fast forward, scrubbing forward, etc. Not a hiccup.
I think this shows that both the NFS server and my network are just fine.
Must be something I'm doing wrong with XBMC...

I'm sure you're all sick of hearing from me by now, but I'm very interested in getting the XBMC/NFS issue resolved.
I have mounted my NFS share on my ATV1 via the command line. I am able to play videos on the mounted NFS share with mplayer just fine. No skipping, no freezing; works fine.
I can also play videos on mounted NFS shares with XBMC. But, XBMC will not play videos streamed from an NFS share.
Any ideas?

So, no one has a clue, eh?
Do these log entries mean anything?

didn't have time to reproduce this yet ... it might be an incompatibility between the osx nfs server and the libnfs ... don't have heared of such problems from others (others are using linux, solaris or freebsd as nfs server)
don't know anything about the flip timeout...
someone out there who uses the snow leo nfs server and libnfs without problems?

I'll try setting up a share on a virtual Linux box and see how that goes.
Any other testing I could do that would help?

Tried and failed. I could see and mount the NFS share from Mac clients. I could see, but not mount the share from XBMX clients.

What reason did you put them there?
It turns out that UID of −2 (65534) is nobody. GID of −2 is nogroup. So, mapall=-2:-2 means mapall=nobody:nogroup.

So, I decided to set up an NFS share on a completely different Mac to see if XBMC could play videos from a different NFS server. This is a recent (2010) MacBook running 10.6.8.
XBMC can see the share, can extract thumbs from the .avi files, but, again, fails after a few seconds when playing an avi file (XVID , MPGA).
XBMC.log
As usual, I can mount the share on my MacMini and play the .avi files using VLC with absolutely no problems at all.
Any hints from you users who have successfully set up an NFS share on a Snow Leopard Mac? This is really driving me nuts.
