XMLTV file - 8.95.003 can't open

    I'm trying to setup the XMLTV part of TVH server with the latest beta. I selected a NFS location where my main NAS has both a NFS and CIFS file that has the daily updated XMLTV data. I can walk the Koki setup down the tree along the nfs path to find the file and select it, but when the TVH server runs the epg internal grabber updates I get an error:

    Code
    2019-01-22 09:35:36.000 xmltv: /storage/.kodi/addons/service.tvheadend42/bin/tv_grab_file: grab /storage/.kodi/addons/service.tvheadend42/bin/tv_grab_file
2019-01-22 09:35:36.007 spawn: Executing "/storage/.kodi/addons/service.tvheadend42/bin/tv_grab_file"
2019-01-22 09:35:36.097 spawn: cat: can't open 'nfs://192.168.0.250/mnt/md1/samba/public/media/zap2xml-data/xmltv.xml': No such file or directory

    I'm guess some permission error, but don't know what. this file is accessible from many other systems in the house.

    Also I can't seem to make Kodi forget the NFS tree. I thought about running the Windows cifs path, but can't make it forget where it is. I also thought about coping the xmltv.xml file to the downloads directory and changing to local file system, but XMLTV setup is stuck on the nfs tree.

    If I can't fix nfs how do I clear the file tree and start over??

    I deleted the TVH server and client and reinstalled. This time I tried SMB. I created the connection by adding a network location with the server's password and username. At that point just like NFS, I could traverse the tree to the file I wanted to use for the XMLTV.xml data and I selected it. In the logs I get an error that it can't open the file.

    I cut and pasted the filename path it could not open and dropped it into a similar connection setup on my Mac and it connected successfully to the server and could read the file. This has to be some sort of permission or smb protocol issue.

    I could use the same network location to setup TV Shows via a file browse to let Kodi show some saved mp4 videos shows I've saved on the server. This makes no sense to me.

    Any guess what it could be???

    Okay, here's the answer for those with similar problems. First I'll say I'm still confused how I can traverse the directory tree and see the file, but still get can't open it.

    Somewhere in the archives of issues was a discussion about how to setup a NFS mount on LibreELEC. So if you go to /storage/.config/system.d there is a sample file with instructions on how to mount a NFS share. So once I setup that mount, I could see my files from the command line or the Kodi application. Then I could setup the XMLTV file as part of the Home folder.

    It just doesn't make sense that I can walk the share tree and not have the NFS share mounted. I know I have not had to do this in any version fo LibreELEC when setting up TV Shows or Music on NFS Shares.

    Do you have your nfs share mounted or not? If not make proper systemd mount script and mount it undr /media/nfs.

    yes I followed the sample in .config/system.d and created a mount script. That worked just fine. It's just that I don't understand how without that mount script I could still traverse the directory tree on the NFS share and view the files in File Manager but the XMLTV script could not read them.
