[raspbmc] [Solved] NFS works from command line but not xbmc gui
#1
Hi,

I am using a synology NAS to share my video files.
From a shell on the raspberry I can mount my nfs share:
Code:
mount -t nfs -o ro,timeo=10 nas:/volume1/pub /mnt/pub
and access the content without any issue.

However, when trying to add an NFS source from xbmc interface, xbmc can find the share "/volume1/pub" on my nas but when I select it I cannot browse inside it.

Any idea on how to make it work through the interface ?

Cheers,
Franck

Read the nfs wiki link in my signature. You are missing either the insecure flag (look for unprivileged ports) or your filesystem permissions are incorrect.

Indeed, the insecure flag was missing, thanks !

Hi

I have a QNAP 419+ NAS which I have setup with two NFS shares for Movies and TV Shows. I have setup read/write permissions for all IP's on my LAN, and updated the (insecure) flag as per the wiki.
However, whilst I can see these shares ok in XBMC there are no files present and it can't see them.

Any ideas?

A 'Source" is a folder, not a file, when browsing for sources you will not see files,. Once a source is added you will be able to see the contained files in videos>files or music>files
If I have been of help, please add to my reputation as a way of saying thanks, it's free.
