NFS Shares not announced anymore

Tried posting this in another thread, but no response - it is lost in the crowd. Therefor starting new thread.

I cannot see NFS from XBMC anymore (goes for both Windows and RPi installations...)

Hope someone can shed some light on the subject!

Problem was not present in 6.1.9 and previous releases.

Problem is a little cloudy; it is not "advertising" shares over NFS. It is possible to get files via NFS from XBMC. I know that because I added the files to the XBMC library pre-6.2.0 and they are still accessible from XBMC. Problem is only when you in XBMC want to add new locations. Then the NAS does not show up as an NFS server. SMB and SAMBA seems to advertise themselves: This is evident when using the Zeroconf browser in XBMC.
So, in my conclusion, the problem might be on the NAS and the "advertisement" (pleeeeeease, tell me what the correct word is :) ).

Funny thing is, that if I use the showmount cmd from an RPi with XBMC:
xbian@xbian ~ $ sudo showmount -e 192.168.0.2
[sudo] password for xbian:
Export list for 192.168.0.2:
/data/Videos *
/run/nfs4/data/Videos *
/data/Pictures *
/run/nfs4/data/Pictures *
/data/Music *
/run/nfs4/data/Music *
/run/nfs4/data *
/run/nfs4 *
/data/media 127.0.0.1
/run/nfs4/data/media 127.0.0.1
/data/Backup 127.0.0.1
/run/nfs4/data/Backup 127.0.0.1

As you can see, NFSv4 is enabled on the NAS.

Please also see my post on Kodi forum (formerly known as XBMC) http://forum.kodi.tv/showthread.php?tid ... pid1867014

Problem is also present in XBMC on Windows.

Can someone shed some light on the subject?! Please

Thanks!
