Frequent Buffering with 4K content

Yeah that is my intention to just make a path to the 4K stuff and see if it is resolved.

You donā€™t even need to add it to your library until you resolve the problem. Just use the file browser.

192.168.2.18/M:\XBMC\Movies /mnt/Server_Movies nfs noauto,x-systemd.automount 0 0

With this line in fstab I am getting this :

osmc@osmc:~$ cd /mnt/Server_Movies
-bash: cd: /mnt/Server_Movies: No such device

Apologies for being so incompetent here and I appreciate the patience

WIthout knowing about your NAS, the fstab line should probably look like this:

192.168.2.18:/XBMC/Movies /mnt/Server_Movies        nfs     noauto,x-systemd.automount  0  0

I dont have a NAS. Its just HDDs on my PC running hanewin NFS.

M:\XBMC\Movies -public -readonly -name:Movies6 192.168.2.20\
This is the path I want to add to fstab. Its physical address is drive M:\XBMC\Movies
If I want to find it over NFS via kodi or my phone its 192.168.2.18/Movies6

Iā€™ve tried
192.168.2.18:/M:\XBMC\Movies /mnt/Server_Movies nfs noauto,x-systemd.automount 0 0
and
192.168.2.18:/Movies6 /mnt/Server_Movies nfs noauto,x-systemd.automount 0 0
And both get the previous errors I had.

We need to know how they are actually shared:

showmount -e 192.168.2.18
Export list for 192.168.2.18:
/Movies  192.168.2.20,-readonly,-public

/Movies2 192.168.2.20,-readonly,-public

/TV6     192.168.2.20,-readonly,-public
/Movies6 192.168.2.20,-readonly,-public

Try:

$ sudo mount /mnt/Server_Movies

Thatā€™s assuming that your fstab is still:

192.168.2.18:/Movies6 /mnt/Server_Movies nfs noauto,x-systemd.automount 0 0

Automount doesnā€™t always work well from the command line.

osmc@osmc:~$ sudo mount /mnt/Server_Movies
osmc@osmc:~$ cd /mnt/Server_Movies
osmc@osmc:/mnt/Server_Movies$ sudo systemctl daemon-reload
osmc@osmc:/mnt/Server_Movies$ sudo systemctl restart remote-fs.target
osmc@osmc:/mnt/Server_Movies$ cd /mnt/Server_Movies
osmc@osmc:/mnt/Server_Movies$ ls

Looks like that was a winner

Says it can be added as a media source under the path /mnt/
I cannot seem to find it under NFS or anything else.

Look under root.

Found it, looking like my playback issues have been resolved as well until further notice. Thanks @bmillham for sticking with me.

So the solution was to use NFS?

No problem :smiley:

Back to Goodfellas

fstab_works

Fstab was the solution I already had NFS

Yes indeed, thanks to you as well Sam you wise guy.

One last question. In regards to my iperf, should my speed be much higher than ~100mbit/s?

If the Vero 4K is wired, your iperf is what Iā€™d expect. If WiFi it dependsā€¦

So since you are wired (I had to scroll back up to remind myself) you are getting good performance.
