haneWIN NFS and sharing out remote SMB folders.

CaNsA · 10 Jan 2013 at 07:23

Alright dudes.

I'm trying to share a folder, that is located on my NAS and only accessible over SMB, through haneWIN NFS server so RaspBMC can access the media contained in the folders.

The NAS shares are shown and served by the NFS server, can be accessed from the R-PI but the file sizes are shown as 0KB and cannot be played.
Files located on the system which runs the NFS server can be played on the RPi.

Here is the location entry in the exports file.

Code:

\\192.168.1.11\XBMC\Telly -public -name:TV

Server Settings.

Any help would be awesome sauce.

I'm fairly certain XBMC on any system can browse SMB shares natively anyway.

And you would be correct sir.
However, the reason I need to use NFS is due to the increased network overheads that come with using SMB/Samba.

These overheads cause buffering and stuttering when watching a 1080p DTS-HD video.

So its definitely not the Pi that cant keep up?

My XTreamer plays 1080p fine over a 100MB SMB share. My Pi cant for all vids, even on a NFS mount to the same location.

Edit, this is the vid tut that I used to set up Hane NFS, ignore the xtreamer bits.

My NFS server is up and running, that vid doesnt show anything about sharing a remote samba share through the NFS server.

Cheers though.

Ah, I see. Sorry, I misread the bit about doing that. Is that possible?

Yes,

I can see the files, and the ones in the "telly" directory on the NAS are playable through NFS.
But the contents of different folder on NAS aren't playable.
