Hi,

I'm having troubles with Kodi's NFS connector.

If I mount manually the volume (through the terminal), I have no issue. I access files, rights are fine. Kodi can even scan and play them.
If I ask Kodi to mount it, it fails. My server is found (192.168.0.100) but is always empty. (loading, then nothing)

I'm using KODI on a raspberry pi 3. Tried ISOs from OSMC, LibreElec and RetroPi.
The server is a simple Fedora Server.

Why I'm not satisfied with the idea to mount manually ?
Because I think KODI would better manage disconnections. (never know, no need to reboot)
And I'm having lags, time to time. As if KODI did not cache enough, thinking the file is a local file. (just a guess, wanted to verify)

So, would anyone have an idea of why I can't access my NFS server through KODI ?

Regards,
LeNouveau

Upload a link to a full debug log (wiki) that covers the period when you try to access your NFS share. Also post the contents of your /etc/exports file from your server.

NFSv3 or NFSv4?  I believe libnfs (which K uses) only supports v3.  Are you able to access the NFS share mounted manually as root, your user, and an unprivileged user if kodi is running as one?

 My Ubuntu based server is running NFSv4 and all of my Kodi instances work just fine with it.

Hi,

Thx @Milhouse for the link.
I was able to get some logs.
Useful part was :

logs:

From what I understood, my problem is link to my server's firewall, blocking rpc requests.
Kodi and `mount` does not work the same way. No idea if it is linked to the NFS version, @graysky.

My `/etc/exports` is pretty simple :

Code:


/mnt/data/movies 192.168.0.0/24(ro)
/mnt/data/series 192.168.0.0/24(ro)


I'm running Fedora release 27 (Twenty Seven), with firewalld active.
I have to admit, I did not have time to look further, so my solution, for the moment, is :

bash:


# firewall-cmd --permanent --zone=trusted --add-source=192.168.0.0/24

success

# firewall-cmd --reload

success

Now, I'll watch movies, to check if I still have lags.

Thx all.
