[mythtv-users] NFS using Kodi frontend issues?

[Brian J. Murrell]

This really is quite off-topic here.  It has absolutely nothing even
remotely to do with MythTV and I really shouldn't even entertain it so
as to not encourage others to bring their general Linux questions here
but rather find a more appropriate forum.

That said... let's see if we can stem off the containing expansion of
and thread.

There's yer problem.  Probably.

Since Kodi is (usually) an unprivileged process it cannot bind to ports
lower than IPPORT_RESERVED (1024) if you don't give it NET_BIND_SERVICE
capability.  I doubt you are doing the latter.

In that case, you need to add the "insecure" option to the export
options on the server.

Or you should look at actually, properly [auto]mounting the share on
the machine with the kernel's NFS client and then just point Kodi at
the mounted path.
