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 don’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

I’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

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

Try:

$ sudo mount /mnt/Server_Movies

That’s assuming that your fstab is still:

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

Automount doesn’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 I’d expect. If WiFi it depends…

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