v15 RPI-2 NFS shares stopped working
#1
Hi!

I have Kodi 15 installed on RPI 2. Previously it was Kodi 14 on wheezy that I upgraded to jessie. I am not sure whether it was the update or not, but somehow my NFS shares have stopped working. When I select an old location (Videos -> Files -> <My Share>), I get the following error in log file:


Code:
13:16:19 T:1653601200   ERROR: Unable to load libnfs.so.1, reason: libnfs.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
13:16:19 T:1653601200   ERROR: NFS: Error loading libnfs (HandleDyLoad).
13:16:19 T:1945223168   ERROR: GetDirectory - Error getting nfs://10.0.0.7/media/wdpassport/
13:16:19 T:1945223168   ERROR: CGUIMediaWindow::GetDirectory(nfs://10.0.0.7/media/wdpassport/) failed

When I try to add a new NFS location by going to Videos -> Files -> Add Videos... -> Browse and select 'Network File System', I get the similar error again:


Code:
13:31:57 T:1674310576   ERROR: Unable to load libnfs.so.1, reason: libnfs.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

The nfs shares are on another PI and I can access these from my windows machine.

Tried google but could not find any solution. Ayy help would be appreciated.

Where did you get kodi from? I suspect it doesn't support jessie.
There is a pi specific kodi in the jessie repo.

I'd suggest removing your current kodi, and installing from the jessie repo:
Code:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install kodi

Thanks for the tip popcornmix. When reinstalled kodi, I noticed it was kodi (2:15.2-2~wheezy). With a little google help, I found that I had to remove old wheezy repository from sources.list.d.

Kodi from official jessie repo works fine with NFS. Thanks again.
