Worked fine until I put a gigabit switch between homeplug and wdtv, now nfs is slower than upnp or cifs shares. Any ideas? Using the nfs app with dlink homeplug and dns323.

Attempted to install nfs.app.bin-0.3 using empty FAT USB flashdisk and was able to mount nfs shares from Ubuntu Server with Read-Only. mount -t nfs showed the nfs mount. WDLXTV would not recognize the nfs share. Reboot by removing USB Flashdisk and Power for 30 sec. nfs.app.bin-0.3 disappeared and lost the nfs mount. Did I miss a step with nfs.app.bin-0.3 installation? If the USB Flashdisk plugged-in, nfs.app.bin-0.3 showed up. Any helps are appreciated. Great Firmware. Need nfs streaming please.... <<< edit: uhmmmm...what? There is no installation of app.bins, if you don't have them attached at boot then there will be no extra functionality. --b-rad >>> I installed 0.5.8.1 successfully and connected via telnet.

I'm using your lastest WDLXTV firmware and share the hard drive attached to WDTV thorugh NFS. I am able watch the video on my 2nd WDTV via NFS share. However, I encountered a problem. The video alway stalls for about 5-10 seconds after maybe a few minutes playing, the it resumes by itself. What could be the problem. I tuned some parameters like rsize,wsize,upd/tcp,etc but could not help. The messege.txt says Server Not response. I appreciate your time and help! Hi, b-rad.

I managed do share my USB HDD disk plugged in to my PC with Hanewin NFS server, and mount some folders with WDTV. I use the net.mounts file in /etc/conf to mount my shares persistently. All files play well. Exept 1080p files. I calculated the transfer speed with: time cat file.avi > /dev/null .... and just got 5.5 - 8.8 Mbit/s So this is too little to transfer 1080p files. I wonder why it is soo slow??! I also tried to change the rsize and wsize value in the net.mounts file, but it seems not to be recognised. Because after i changed this values for example to 32768 and rebooted of course (the wdtv, the pc and the nfsserver) and then typed via telnet: mount -t nfs it keeps telling me: 10.0.0.4:/Dokus on /tmp/media/usb/USB1/Dokus type nfs (rw,v3,rsize=8192,wsize=81 92,hard,lock,proto=tcp,addr=10.0.0.4) of course, at first i tried the protocol UDP, but no change. How can I speed up my transfer rate? (Of course, everything is wired, no WIFI.) Thanks (from Austria) <<< edit: Ask on the <a href="http://forum.wdlxtv.com" rel="nofollow">wdlxtv forums</a>. --b-rad >>> Hallo

I see lots of references to using an NFS server to share a hard drive connected to the device. Does this app, or is there another one, that will act as an NFS client that can access shares on my network? <<< edit: This app.bin contains both NFS client and NFSD server capability. So yes, you can mount your remote NFS shares with this. --b-rad >>> I have what’s probably a really stupid question.

Normally, after you installed everything, if the config files are ok, the wd tv needs a hardware reset to take the NFS app into account. (and not only a remote power off and on) Now I have another problem, my wdtv see the share on my dns 323, but when I try to play one, the screen goes black, and then nothing. I can go back with the remote, and the I see again the shares. <<< edit: telnet in and do <code>config_tool -c NTP=OFF</code> --b-rad >>> Any idea ? Thanks.

The nfs mount seems ok since I was able to see the nfs share in the folder view. But when I selected it, it says folder is empty. What needs to be done to fix the issue? There are multiple subfolders under the shared folders, but none of them showed up. I’m on 0.57version. The nfs mount seems ok since I was able to see the nfs share in the folder view.

I've read through all the comments, but haven't found an answer to my problem. NFS client works like a charm in my case, WDTV can perfectlly see Windows7's exported folder made with nfsAxe. It works as NFS server too, I can connect to WDTW exported folder (/tmp/media/usb/USB2/189C39239C38FCB6 192.168.11.2(rw,async)) with my Windows7, but when I try to use it look what it says: C:\Users\leva>mount 192.168.11.5:/tmp/media/usb/USB2/189C39239C38FCB6 r: r: is now successfully connected to 192.168.11.5:/tmp/media/usb/USB2/189C39239C38FCB6 The command completed successfully.
