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

    • Fully agree with that last sentence. I wasn't able to get the card I wanted at launch, and refuse to play these games with their MSRPs since then. Not a chance I'm going to encourage the price hiking, and I'm fine waiting however long I need to buy a card at the advertised MSRP - for myself however, it's for a 9070 XT... It sucks that lots of people don't do the same, but I get it. I am curious though, in earnest, about your remark about the 9070 XT vs the 5070 Ti - and not to debate or attempt to convince, just genuinely wondering assuming you're speaking of gaming - why do you mention the performance difference between the two being so stark? The 5070 Ti does certainly beat the former in efficiency, but all of the benchmarks I've seen have put them almost equal to each other in performance, with the two more or less trading blows depending on the game, and the overall difference around about 5% in favor of Green. Again, just curious! Not wanting to argue, the assertion was just intriguing to me.

It was first listed on May 14. Would I be more successful selling without the video card?
