NFS not playing videos since libnfs update

    Hi,

    I'm having an issue with playback (blank screen and no audio) from my DNS-323 NAS using NFS on a RPi5.

    I've tried the following latest le13 nightly builds:

    1) LibreELEC-RPi5.aarch64-13.0-nightly-20260808-7e66d59
    2) LibreELEC-RPi5.aarch64-13.0-nightly-20260810-393623d
    3) LibreELEC-RPi5.aarch64-13.0-nightly-20260810-46d0580
    4) LibreELEC-RPi5.aarch64-13.0-nightly-20260816-9a6f9e3

    1) plays as previous builds but there is a problem with dhcp versus manual ip setting *
    2) will not play
    3) will not play + when updated (copied file to the update folder) some settings reset (regional, whitelist etc.)
    4) will not play

    * this is a strange one - I have 2 drives in my NAS but one of them reports a network error when I have a manual ip address but works when I set a dhcp ip address. The other drive works with both dhcp and manual ip setting.

    wrt my NFS playback issue, this seems to coincide with the libnfs: update to 7.0.0 between builds 1) and 2).

    I accept that my NAS is very old (I have had it for over 15 years) but are there any settings I can change to make it compatible with the libnfs update?

    I use the first build you mention (as the last build from Friday I tried made libreelec unusable) and no issues at all with playback from the nas with nfs.


    I assume as the later builds cause issues for me too (I usually only update the nightly once a week) it might be a build related problem.

    I thought it had something to do with ffmpg, but the network might be plausible too, as when trying to copy files from the nas to the internal drive it indefenitly hangs at 100%.

    I appreciate all your responses - it's "good" to see I'm not the only one with the issue.

    plingplong I used the systemd mount method a few years ago when the internal NFS method wasn't working for me but I have, up to now, had success with it since then and would have to change my library paths again if I were to move back to systemd. If I find the time I'll do a test with the mount method but I would hope that since a few others were having the same issue then the developers may have a look into it?

    Wolfpig I too thought it was something to do with moving ffmpeg from 8.x to 9.0 but a ffmpeg 9.0 build works fine from a local drive.
