Hi,

Which version of NFS do you recommend using?
I’m currently using v3.

V3 should be just fine. Is there a reason why you are asking?

No, no special reason, I’m just curious.

The big thing V4 brings is security. But on a home network that shouldn’t matter. There is a small performance increase without security on V4, but that really should not matter for streaming.
