RE: Simply done - NFS Share on Windows - fredfred - 2018-10-10 nssm remove <servicename> So if your service is named Media-NFS this is how to remove it: nssm remove Media-NFS More stuff here if you need it: https://nssm.cc/usage RE: Simply done - NFS Share on Windows - changedx - 2018-11-22 Hi, I had completed the steps in the original post, and could see the fileshare from Kodi on an Nvidia Shield and from a separate Windows 10 machine, all on the same ethernet network. But I could not browse the files. What fixed it for me was on the server machine (also Windows 10), Network and Sharing Center -> All Networks -> Password protected sharing, I had to "Turn on password protected sharing" and then create a local (non-Microsoft) user account with a password. Then I could enter that username and password when I tried to mount the share in Kodi.

I use Hanewin NFS Server on Win10 Pro and I had to open ports explicitly for it to be accessible from other Lan Ips besides server PC.

Have you set your firewall exception for private network ? Do you now what ports winnfsd listens to? Try to explicitly add exceptions for that ports and try again to mount nfs shares from your other machine on your network. RE: Simply done - NFS Share on Windows - Veggie - 2019-07-24 For Private Networks yes, I don't know which ports are required, but for testing i opened up all RE: Simply done - NFS Share on Windows - redglory - 2019-07-24 (2019-07-24, 12:04)Veggie Wrote: For Private Networks yes, I don't know which ports are required, but for testing i opened up all Your first test should be with firewall disabled just to make sure it is a permission's problem on the firewall and not other problem. Step by step you'll pinpoint your problem RE: Simply done - NFS Share on Windows - Veggie - 2019-07-24 Ok, solved it: On youtube i found this vid:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LAr8mdvDp2A When i followed those steps i got a "portmap deamon failed" error Googled a little and got suggested that there already was a NFS deamon active somehow Look in my software list and found hanewin, that i once tried, and failed at(and had forgotten about) De-installed hanewin, ran the commandline for winnfsd.exe again and it worked Thanks all for the patience and understanding! RE: Simply done - NFS Share on Windows - MrOctober67 - 2019-10-05 I did the setup for one folder and it worked, but when I try multiple shares I get an error. It only let's me run one of the services at a time. I have Windows 10 Home.

Yep, the HD I had the original share on just shat itself so I tried to install a new "other media" server and the service wont start RE: Simply done - NFS Share on Windows - MrOctober67 - 2019-10-13 In the event viewer it says the service was started, but in services it's not running. When I start it, it says "Windows could not start the service Media-NFS on local computer" In the event view log it says "The Media-NFS service terminated with the following service-specific error: The system cannot find the path specified." RE: Simply done - NFS Share on Windows - Wheresthebeef - 2020-02-09 Can't believe I finally got this working properly. Tried setting this up like a year ago and while it would show the NFS shares in Kodi, the movie and tv folders would all be empty inside for some reason. I could only see folders but not the contents. For the life of me I could not figure out the issue at the time. I ended up giving up and just used SMB instead to access my movies/tv shares. Came across this thread again by accident and decided to try again since I still would rather use NFS over SMB. Not sure what was different this time, but hot damn it's working. I created a service following OPs cmd instructions to share my entire E:\ and then allowed the winnfsd.exe program through the windows firewall Started up the service and then manually added the share into Kodi (nfs://192.168.1.12/MoviesTV/) No issues at all accessing the contents of E:\ now through this share. Can't believe it. As long as it continues to work without issue, this will be a great free solution for using NFS on Windows! Thanks OP. RE: Simply done - NFS Share on Windows - Kodroid - 2020-04-15 I find the NFS server to be a bit unstable. I wish there was another solution that is actively maintained. |
