Hi,
I have WHS2011 and mymovies set up.

I have the DUNE index on a separate hard drive from the movies.

D:\ServerFolders\DUNE\
F:\ServerFolders\Videos\

Network path SERVER:/DUNE
Network path SERVER:/Videos

I am trying to configure the DUNE HD player to access the dune index on D:\ServerFolders\DUNE\

This is an example from a movie taken from the dune_folder.txt found in .DuneTitles

icon_path=.Icon.aai
icon_sel_path=.SelectedIcon.aai
media_url=nfs://SERVER:/Videos/Coach Carter/VIDEO_TS
template_name=PlaybackFolder

I have enabled NFS in WHS2011 and have shared the DUNE and Videos directories with all machines.

The setup in the DUNE player looks like this.

Name: My Movies
Type : NFS
Server: 192.168.1.105
Folder /DUNE
Protocol : TCP

With those I can see the folder, but it is empty!
How can I configure NFS correctly? I must be missing something

I have tried SMB but due to the share limitations of the DUNE it can not connect with two SMB shares at the same time, so I couldn't play a movie only browse.
I have tried Clearing the MetaData, and Updating several times.

MetaData For DUNE HDI for MyMovies Dune Index Location is
\\Server\DUNE

Path Configuration is
\\SERVER\Videos with a green tick.

Any ideas would be really helpful

Kind regards

Make sure you have check "allow root"

Also have in mind the windows NFS limitation:

Quote:

Turns out that Windows NFS will not work with mount points at all (and yes, it cost a support call to find that this limitation has been extensively documented within Microsoft). In fact, one of the unspoken and unwritten requirements for NFS on Windows is that there be a drive letter associated with the NFS share.

I had tried several things but nothing work with the built-in NFS, Next thing to tried is FREENFS. I use a Demo of Allegro NFS and it worked fine but I don't even really neeed NFS I'm getting 11MBs with SMB. Its is just faster with the DUNE (that I'm selling soon)

Thanks! a quick enable of root access and I can how browse with NFS.

(I have since deleted my database, deleted "DUNE" folder and re-done the lot)
Now have a folder called "MMDUNE" that has the dune's meta data, on a seperate hard drive from the actual movies.

Got a new issue tho, its the same as SMB. I get an error when trying to play back a movies

Failed to open URL

URL: nfs://SERVER:/Videos/Alien vs. Predator\VIDEO_TS

Also, when adding to the favourites menu

Failed to open URL
URL : nfs-tcp://192.168.1.105 Money in mouth

MDUNE/My Movies/

what do you think, any more ideas bud?

UPDATE,
everything working great when using a USB stick as the dune index plugged directly into the device. With SMB for the videos.

For easy updating of the index, can you use Rsync?
