Kodi not picking up NAS folders
« on: July 26, 2018, 12:18:31 PM »
Hi,

Just got a new Q10 pro after my other one was replace under warranty.

Have installed 2.0.8, 17.6kodi, enabled Samba shares, installed persistent mount points etc

I can access the NAS and its file structure in the Mediacentre, but not in Kodi.

I can see the NAS in Kodi, but none of the internal videos

Any ideas on this one?

Cheers

Seems like a network error for some reason.  Since MediaCenter finds the NAS, it is not really hardware related.
Have you tried using SMB shares from Kodi, rather than NFS shares?

It happened to me a long time ago a similar problem, HiMedia connected via LAN with PC with BOX HDD.
With Mediacenter I could access the shared folders and make the file play, in Kodi when I was accessing the same folder it did not play.
In that case I solved by changing the syntax of the folder name, which must be written without spaces, using the low space "_".
es. "Multimedia folder"> "Multimedia_folder"

Give fix ip addresses for both the Box and the NAS in your router.

Try to give manually the NAS share details in KODI. Ip address and then the shared main folders names. This must be done one-by-one separated as a new source for every shared MAIN Folder.   

And check your router and NAS for any changes in settings (mostly the firewalls) possibly affecting the sharing.

Tried SMB and now it works....very weird why NFS no longer works

Just happy I can now see them.

Cheers
