You should have probably only copied across just a few folders first in order to test before copying across entire library to usb hdd

The longer this goes on, the more I think the problem lies at the NAS end even though umpteen Windows and Linux PCs work just fine with it.(2018-05-02, 16:44)sitush Wrote: The NFS service is only available in Windows 10 Enterprise, I think.

Just tried NFS but I must be doing something wrong because Kodi/RPi says "cannot connect to network". I set up NFS in the NAS using the instructions at https://kodi.wiki/view/NFS although my version of the Thecus control panel is newer than the one shown there. As previously, the Kodi device and NAS are recognised as attached by the router and I can ping both of them.
My hair was beginning to thin before starting this. I won't need a barber by the time I have sorted it out.

Ok, using an original Raspberry Pi Model B and LibreElec, Samba now works with the Thecus N2350 NAS and does so regardless of which limit I place on the Samba version. This happened after first enabling NFS on the NAS and then disabling it! NFS itself may well work with the Pi or indeed my Windows 10 setup but I've not been able to figure out the syntax.
Video can be a little wayward on the Pi Model B. Since I need to use the device as a PVR client as well as for music, I'm going to buy a Model 3 Pi - an earlier response here suggests that should be fine.
Thanks to everyone for their input.
