Hi,
NFS doesn’t use a username and password, I think it can do so by using a third party like kerberos; so I think the guest username and password is for samba/smb.
Could you please post the output off:
ls - lah /mnt
After /mnt/Films has been mounted. Also the output of:
ifconfig
Thanks Tom.

Hi,
Sorry typo, should have been: ls -lah /mnt
Thanks Tom.
No problem - looks like this, then:
osmc@osmc:~$ ls -lah /mnt

Hi,
Ok so the nas is not passing the correct permissions, the only thing I can suggest is change the squash to: map root to admin, under Edit NFS rules on the synology. Still will be mounted read only because of the flag in the fstab entry.
Once you’ve made change reboot the vero4k.
Thanks Tom.
If you don’t want to get NFS no matter what, but you’d just like to get a FSTAB mount working quickly, it might be good to switch to SMB FSTAB mounting at this point. With SMB you can use authentication and it might still give good enough throughput (but getting rid of the hassle with NFS, if this isn’t solvable in a timely manner, which it doesn’t seem to be):
And I thought, my NAS (WD MyBook Live) was a difficult setup with NFS… It doesn’t have any GUI configuration options for NFS, everything had to be done via SSH. But it looks like it was a lot less complicated than Synology seems to make the whole setup 
OK, some progress 
I changed the squash setting as suggested, and now I can add the share. Still no playback, though!
I will switch to smb as and see if that helps.
Hi,
Before you switch to smb, please provide logs showing the no playback issue.
NFS will give better throughput
Thanks Tom.
Its not unsolvable, I’m running a synology and watching a video using nfs fstab; as I type this
I don’t want to imply that it doesn’t, just wanted to point @eriksdam to a different solution, if he’d want to choose to try something else… And if he’d not want to get NFS working at any cost. 
Fair point, but it does seem we may not be fair of getting this working with nfs; just need logs from @eriksdam
Yup, ok… If @eriksdam is willing to keep trying a big longer. 
It might give some clues for future problems and maybe even for some adjustments of the wiki entry.
Oh, I’ll keep at it, no worries 
had a quick stab at SMB (which is what i started with before I posted here) but same issue: The files and folder themselves are found/recognised, but no playback.
I think I’ll call it a day, though, and post the logs tomorrow - thanks for your support!!!
Ok, so we’re stuck with having to find the culprit here no matter what… 
So, it’s not related to NFS only.
Do that 
Thanks should mostly go to @Tom_Doyle. He’s the pro, I’m just trying to help where I can
Hi Erik,
I’m sure we are not far off getting this to work, but I agree starting again tomorrow is the way forward; taking a break from things, on return the way forward often shows its self. Will review the logs, when you’ve posted them tomorrow.
Thanks Tom.
@Chillbo thanks for the compliment. I’m no pro, just trying to learn as I go and like yourself help where I can.
Protip: reboot the NAS and router before getting started back tomorrow
Will do 
couldn’t stop myself: Log
I switched back to nfs, and behold:
Still no playback, though! Arrrrgh!
Thanks again guys, I’m sure “we” will nail this.
Hi Erik,
This can wait till tomorrow if you prefer, but I’m still about so I can follow up; it’s up to you.
“MVC.mkv (File doesn’t exist?”
It seems kodi is still having issues seeing the files, could you please issue the following command:
ls -lah /mnt/Film | paste-log
And post the link provided.
Thanks Tom.
Hi Erik,
That looks ok, have you tried restarting the NAS and router as ActionA advised? If not please do so and try playback again.
If there are still issues, please copy one of the movies you have tried to a usb stick and try playback locally on the vero4k.
Thanks Tom.
