Hi,

i want to share database info and stuff like that to multiple XBMC installations.
Database is working fine on multiple installations.

But sharing thumbnails and stuff like that via nfs ist not working atm.

advancedsettings.xml

Code:

<pathsubstitution>
                                                <substitute>
                                                  <from>special://masterprofile/Thumbnails/</from>
                                                  <to>NFS://192.168.1.200/mnt/STORAGE15/XBMC/userdata/Thumbnails/</to>
                                                </substitute>
                                                <substitute>
                                                  <from>special://profile/sources.xml</from>
                                                  <to>NFS://192.168.1.200/mnt/STORAGE15/XBMC/userdata/sources.xml</to>
                                                </substitute>
                                                <substitute>
                                                  <from>special://profile/mediasources.xml</from>
                                                  <to>NFS://192.168.1.200/mnt/STORAGE15/XBMC/userdata/mediasources.xml</to>
                                                </substitute>
                                              </pathsubstitution>

and here my nfs export

Code:

/mnt/STORAGE15/XBMC     (sync,insecure,rw,nohide)

but for some reason i get the following errors:

Code:

and my XBMC share is still empty.

any suggestions?

btw is this the right why to share the images for the video and music database?

Looks like you've not got permissions on the NFS share set up correctly.

[Mantus]

this was also my first thougth, but i do not know why anyone shouldn't have access

Code:

drwxrwxrwx  3 usrshare users     4096 Jän 15 17:23 XBMC

normaly everyone should have access

Hello,

may be this is a dead question, but just in case.

Have you try to write nfs: instead of NFS:

I had a similar problem with the name of the directory in the etc/exports and the name i was trying to use in the advancedsettings.xml

[rgornik79]

smb://192.168.100.111/MyVideos/
nfs://192.168.100.111/volume1/MyVideos/

in my case the difference was that in nfs needs to specify exact path including volume number, and it is Case sensitive but i dont use substitute but pathversion
be aware than Synology doesnt show proper Case size nor Kodi i(you have open EDIT SOURCE) than you will see exact path to nfs . What i did, i have added a source via Kodi, clicked EDIT SOURCE and then copied path to advanced settings. Now it does work.

Code:

<source>
            <name>MyVideos</name>
            <path pathversion="1">nfs://192.168.100.111/volume1/MyVideos/</path>
            <path pathversion="1">nfs://192.168.100.111/volume3/MyVideos03/</path>
            <allowsharing>true</allowsharing>
        </source>

I am sorry id did it in sources not advancedsettings, nevertheless i will leave this post just in case
