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.
