Shared folder NFS as Server

/media/john/sdb1/Movies_1TB 192.168.xx.0/24(rw,no_root_squash,no_subtree_check,sync)

When mounting it from a small netbook with lubuntu 16.04 lts its working fine.

When i try through osmc (latest stable) RPi3 B+
Videos -> add -> browse -> ip (pc 16.04):/media/john/sdb1/Movies_1TB

It says that it cant connect and the nfs is not mounting.

This tutorial is to help those who’d like to use NFS (Network File System - mostly used with Linux/Unix systems). It assumes that you already are sharing media files favourably on a NAS system that supports NFS shares (for how to setup NFS sharing e.g. on your NAS system, look for instructions by your system’s vendor). Why use /etc/fstab instead of Kodi’s built in NFS client? Using /etc/fstab is faster than Kodi’s own NFS client - it delivers better throughput and is more reliable (also than SM…

I have done that before and it is failing with the error
osmc@osmc:~$ cd Movies/
-bash: cd: Movies/: No such device
osmc@osmc:~$ showmount -e 192.168.xx.x
(my pc ubuntu 16.04 with an extra internal disk 1TB that servs a folder with nfs) from my netbook with lubuntu 16.04 the share works fine.
rpc mount export: RPC: Authentication error; why = Failed (unspecified error)

/dev/mmcblk0p1 /boot vfat defaults,noatime,noauto,x-systemd.automount 0 0

rootfs is not mounted in fstab as we do it via initramfs. Uncomment for remount (slower boot)

#/dev/mmcblk0p2 / ext4 defaults,noatime 0 0
#nfs from tsaros sdb1 movies
192.168.xx.5:/media/john/sdb1/Movies_1TB /home/osmc/Movies ext4 noauto,x-systemd.automount 0 0

/etc/exports: the access control list for filesystems which may be exported

to NFS clients. See exports(5).

Example for NFSv2 and NFSv3:

/srv/homes hostname1(rw,sync,no_subtree_check) hostname2(ro,sync,no_subtree_check)

Example for NFSv4:

/srv/nfs4 gss/krb5i(rw,sync,fsid=0,crossmnt,no_subtree_check)

/srv/nfs4/homes gss/krb5i(rw,sync,no_subtree_check)

Shared folder NFS from this pc ubuntu 16.04

thanks man !!! that did it ! the ext4 was the wrong input. i replaced with nfs and worked perfectly.

Thank you.

one more question.
Why i cant see in my videos the automounted location (the nfs i just mounted) in osmc. I restared osmc but nothing again.

Or how can i add the share to my videos section?

through ssh i see the directory mounted ok with no problem. i see all the files properly.
Cant figure how to add this location to my eg videos menu under automounted locations.
