Compiled Kodi NFS errors
#16
Sorry about the delay in response. 192.168.101.0/24 covers my whole internal LAN and all my NFS clients connect to this without issue.

The other thing i was thinking of was the libnfs version i installed to compile Kodi with NFS support. I checked my htpc and i don't seem to have the --enable-nfs switch on after checking the command-line history. Is there anyway to confirm what it was compiled with as --version just gives me kodi versions?

Anyway i checked that it did work with NFS (just to make sure i wasn't going mad) and it lists NFS in the source and i can access /mnt/general/global without any problems BUT it does not have libnfs installed.

So i removed the libnfs (v1.9.5-0) from my PC and tried compiling with the --enable-nfs and the configure fails with:

Code:
configure: error: == Could not find libnfs. NFS client support disabled. ==

If i run the configure without the --enable-libnfs it completes but with

Code:
libnfs client support:No

Is there a known\confirmed working version of libnfs that i could try?

I hope all this makes sense as it is confusing me?...

Thanks again.

Ok, I removed all libnfs(-devel) packages and installed v1.9.3-1 of both libnfs and libnfs-devel and fully recompiled.

I am now getting this error:

Code:
23:06:51 T:139815627028224   DEBUG: NFS: Context for 192.168.101.11/mnt/general/global not open - get a new context.
23:06:51 T:139815627028224   DEBUG: NFS: Connected to server 192.168.101.11 and export /mnt/general/global

23:06:51 T:139816196831488   ERROR: CGUIDialogFileBrowser::GetDirectory(nfs://192.168.101.11/mnt/general/global/) failed

So my problems do seem directly related the the libnfs version.

So which version do i need is the question?

p.s. this still has the patch from github issue #5947 that fritsch supplied earlier (https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/5947)

Bingo!

libnfs-1.3-1.1.x86_64.rpm

This version works without any issues! This seems a very low version to go to for this to work so i am going to try some other options before i leave this build as it is.

I am going to try and pull this version and build from source and compile again but if anyone has any other ideas they still would be appreciated.

Thanks.

The patch should not be needed anymore. git fetch origin && git reset --hard origin/Helix


Very strange those libnfs findings.
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

Just an update.

Compiling libnfs from the link i supplied earlier generated the same fault so the only version i know to work is libnfs-1.3-1.1.

There might be a newer version in between the ones tried but there is only so many times i am prepared to compile this to find out Tongue

All working though.

Thanks for all your help guys Smile
