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

    • Maybe, just maybe... and it isn't you... there are some people who like the Windows 11 UI (for whatever reason) and want a better backend.
    • Gundams to arrive in Call of Duty: Mobile with new mech mode and unique third-person combat by Paul Hill Activision has announced that Call of Duty: Mobile will see the launch of Season 6 “Gundams Arrive” on July 2 at 5PM Pacific Time. This major collaboration between the world’s most popular FPS franchise and the Gundam franchise will introduce a new, limited-time mode called Gundam Team Deathmatch where 8 players will face off 4v4 and pilot Gundam-themed operators such as Ethan - Freedom Gundam, Reaper - Sazabi Gundam, Proton - v Gundamo, Deathscythe Gundam (EW). When playing in this game mode, players will notice a switch from the usual first-person view to the third-person perspective. The new game mode will also feature specific abilities and weapons that are unique to Gundam suits rather than player loadouts. The new Gundam Team Deathmatch mode will be played on a new map called interstellar space station, which has been designed for this mode. When playing, you’ll discover that the mech suits offer specialized mobility such as dodge, sprint, and vertical jets. In the post-match, players will be able to watch Gundam operator animations with unlockable rewards for viewing. You can unlock more animations by participating in Gundam Team Deathmatch, normal Multiplayer, and Battle Royale modes. There will also be Gundam-themed in-game events, such as Survival of the Fittest, which will give players free rewards like the new legendary weapon J358 — Fin Funnel v Gundam, Urban Tracker — Defense Force, Cyro Bomb — Haro (reskin), Emote — Haro Team, new camos, and more. Players will also be able to obtain a variety of items through Season 6 Battle Pass free and premium tiers, including sci-fi-themed Operators and Weapon Blueprints. Players on the free tier will get access to the bolt-action 3-Line Rifle based on a World War II design and is capable of inflicting high damage with high accuracy. Free tier players will also have the chance to earn other rewards such as Skins, Weapons Blueprints, Vault Coins, and more. Players looking to spend money can get the Premium Pass. These players will have a chance to get all of the content from Season 6 including tactical warriors like Silver — Chrome Dome Reskin, Misty — Science Pilot, Atlas — Dust Ranger, and The Marshal — Rock Hound; and Weapon Blueprints like the BP50 — Pathripper, Oden — Maevwat Technical, PDW-57 — Rocket Re-Entry, BY15 — Dark Moon, and the 3-Line Rifle — Geo Thermal Line, based on the new Season 6 weapon. There’s also Battle Pass Subscription which gives you additional monthly rewards along with a 10% boost to Player and Weapon XP, discount coupons, and limited discounts on 10x crate pulls. Activision also stated that Mythic Drops are returning to the Mythic store and that Battle Pass Vault is getting Season 9 — Zombies Are Back (2022) and Season 6 — Templar's Oath (2023).
