Like has been stated by others, Kodi does not need NFS for playing
recordings.  Videos on the other hand...  I have similar exports as
others:

/Media/Videos     x.x.x.x/y(ro,insecure,anonuid=1000,anongid=1000,async)

But I also move my NFS options to unprivileged/non-random ports (they
should already be unprivileged, but I hate things running on random
ports):

[greg at backend-0 ~]$ grep -v ^# /etc/sysconfig/nfs
LOCKD_TCPPORT=4000
LOCKD_UDPPORT=4000
RPCNFSDARGS=""
RPCMOUNTDOPTS="-p 4001"
STATDARG="-p 4002"
SMNOTIFYARGS=""
RPCIDMAPDARGS=""
RPCGSSDARGS=""
GSS_USE_PROXY="yes"
BLKMAPDARGS=""


Fedora 25 as well...  Running the kernel-nfs-server..
