Tried to post this in the Android specific area but the forum told me I didn't have permission, so please move it there if needed.
Anyway, I've tried a lot of the unofficial builds of XBMC Android leading up to the Beta 2 release; but since those weren't official I kept my mouth shut until now about this issue even though I've never gotten it to work right.
I have all my other XBMC instances accessing media via NFS shares from a NAS. When using XBMC on Android I cannot get the NFS protocol to work. Is this a limitation of Android or am I doing something wrong? NFS does not show up at all when using "add media", and if I type the share manually using nfs://...... I get a "share not found" error message when trying to open it.
I'd like to use NFS since all my other hosts are setup that way, but it certainly isn't a deal breaker. In the Android FAQ I see it says to try NFS as an option if experiencing choppy playback with SMB so I feel like I'm just missing something on my android device (http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=XBM...choppiness)
For those interested I'm using a Motorola RAZR with the Ice Cream Sandwich update as the OS. All other functions in XBMC work great, playback via SMB does work as well as I've tried that just to get things working. I can post a debug log if needed.
