I have basically the same set up - WDTV running WDLXTV but I can seem to mount the media directory on the ReadyNAS Duo using NFS.
Would appreciate your help in how you config your WDTV and your ReadyNAS Duo.
Many thanks
I'm not currently auto-mounting shares on the Duo, but you can easily do so by editing the net.mounts config file. Any direct mounts you create on the WDTV via ssh are retained between power cycles of the device. Note that turning the WDTV off using the red button the remote doesn't actually power it down, rather it just puts the WDTV into sleep or hibernate mode.
Here's an example using xmount, where nas is the name of the ReadyNAS Duo, media is the name of the share, and duo is the name of the folder that will show up on the WDTV:
xmount nas:/media duo nfs
When I try to use NFS I can not read any files or folders.
My current setup is WDTV running WDlxTV and trying to connect to the Duo.
cmd i am using.
xmount 192.168.1.75:/movies movies nfs
when using cifs, I can see and stream the movies. but for HD content is is choppy and that is why I want to use NFS
xmount 192.168.1.75:/movies cifsmovies cifs
can you tell me how you got NFS working?
thx
