Adding NFS support to Windows 10 Home ...


Question

I was thrilled when they added KODI to the store on the XBox One. But while it's ok for plugins, DVDs and videos on a locally attached external drive, I was really hoping to be able to use it with my media server running TVersity. TVersity has always worked well for me, and the XBO version of VLC works well with it. But KODI doesn't see the TVersity server.

 

So for now, I've copied a portion of my collection to a spare external hard drive. It works well but is a bit inconvenient.

 

AS it turns out, playing from network shares is supported, but only using the NFS protocol, which isn't included in Win 10 Home. I've heard reports that it is available in Pro, other reports that you have to go all the way up to Enterprise to get it.

 

So my question is: Is there a program that adds the ability to act as an NFS host to Windows 10 Home?

did a quick google search for 'third party nfs server for windows' and came up with quite a few solutions. here's a couple that stood out.

 

most are pay for but there is one that is open-source and free

https://sourceforge.net/projects/freenfs/

 

here are a few of the pay-for:

I found that the other day, but it doesn't really help me - it's for Pro and Enterprise. And I've got 10 Home.

 

I do appreciate the attempt nonetheless.

no problem. the open-source app FreeNFS looks like it hasn't been updated since 2013 but that shouldn't be any concern as long as the share is only visible to the internal network :)

it should still install and run without issue

    • ChatGPT's Advanced Voice Mode gets a significant update to make it sound more natural by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI introduced Advanced Voice Mode last year alongside the launch of GPT-4o. This feature uses natively multimodal models, such as GPT-4o, and can respond to audio inputs in as little as 232 milliseconds, with an average of 320 milliseconds, similar to human response time in a typical conversation. It can also generate audio that feels more natural, pick up on non-verbal cues, such as the speed you’re talking, and respond with emotion. Early this year, OpenAI released a minor update to Advanced Voice Mode that reduced interruptions and improved accents. Today, OpenAI has launched a significant upgrade to Advanced Voice Mode, making it sound even more natural and human-like. Responses now feature subtler intonation, realistic cadence—including pauses and emphasis—and more accurate expressiveness for certain emotions such as empathy and sarcasm. This update also introduces support for translation. ChatGPT users can now use Advanced Voice Mode to translate between languages. Simply ask ChatGPT to start translating, and it will continue translating throughout the conversation until instructed to stop. This feature effectively replaces the need for dedicated voice translation apps. For now, the updated Advanced Voice Mode is available only to ChatGPT paid users. OpenAI also noted that there are some known limitations with this latest update, outlined below. This update may occasionally result in minor reductions in audio quality, such as unexpected variations in tone and pitch—especially noticeable with certain voice options. OpenAI expects to improve audio consistency over time. Rare hallucinations in Voice Mode still persist, sometimes producing unintended sounds resembling ads, gibberish, or background music. While some minor limitations remain, the steady stream of improvements points to a future where the line between human and AI conversation becomes increasingly indistinguishable.
