2.1.3 Fresh Installs or Upgrading to Mac OS X 10.11 El Capitan through High Sierra.2.1.2 NFS shares stopped working after OS X upgrade.2.1.1 -N flag is set, but shares still won’t work.

See the sections below for help configuring NFS shares on various devices' operating systems.įor more info on network sources for your music and video in Kodi, see Types of Media Sources. When configuring NFS shares to use as network sources for Kodi's music/video libraries, use the following format: nfs://1.2.3.4/path/to/folder (where '1.2.3.4' should be replaced with the IP of your NFS server, and '/path/to/folder' should be replaced with the path to the folder you want to share a double slash between the server and the path is wrong, you should not use nfs://1.2.3.4//path/to/folder). Note: If you already have a working NFS server check that the export options required by Kodi have been set (as described in the relevant section below). Once properly configured, NFS will allow your network shares to be seen and accessed by not only Kodi, but also any other machine on your network.It allows for authentication by UID, thus eliminating the need to save usernames and passwords in XBMC source XML files (note, however, that this simple authentication also makes it more vulnerable to attacks NFS should be only used inside a private LAN).It is already incorporated in UNIX-like operating systems (such as OS X), eliminating the need for additional software and services to be installed on your computer.NFS is commonly found on all Linux/UNIX distributions, as well as on OS X and Solaris, and offers several features:

NFS's main disadvantage in comparison to SMB (a commonly-encountered protocol in Windows environments) is that it can be more complicated to set up in some cases, since many non-technical users are unfamiliar with configuring UNIX-based protocols. This part bears repeating, as many people are confused on this point and try to create usernames and passwords to get Kodi to work with NFS: NFS does not use usernames or passwords as logins it uses a UNIX-based 'userID' (UID) alone. The main benefits of using NFS instead of SMB are its low protocol overhead (which allows it to send data across a network more quickly) and its use of simple UID's to authenticate users rather than username/password combinations. Network File System, or NFS, is a way to share folders over a network, and was added to XBMC in v11 (Eden).
