Adding NFS support to Windows 10 Home ...

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

      Hello, I think it also depends upon what sorts of software you develop. My employer makes software that does rely on operating system version-specific functionality, and that is typical and normal behavior for our industry. While we do provide support for older versions of operating systems, it is only for a certain amount of time. If you still want to use our software after that, it becomes a custom support package, which isn't cheap. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky

      Ok Mr lawyer, what violation or damage is done to requiere a regulation? I get your point but you need more valid points what and how regulations are done. Just google it. Hence me saying Mr Lawyer. I didn't learn new things just by saying big random words, I actually acknowledged and read on what they meant and work. Let's not forget there are national and there are international laws and also violations. For something to have a regulation effect, there must be some sort of damage. Sorry to tell you but annoyance isn't considered consumer damage. Apple changed to USB-C because of the EU and it caused a chain reaction to other countries but those other countries didn't change the laws. Apple saw a business change that would hit them in their production, so something that started 'national' [for simplicity sake let's say the EU is a nation] made a big splash. You might be thinking of something else and not a 'simple' regulation.

      Hello, Just to be clear, Contoso, LitWare and Fabrikam are generic names used by Microsoft in documentation as well as in things like demos (check out the first screenshot in the linked article), and not the names of the actual companies or products involved. Regards, Aryeh Goretsky
