NFS Shares with Synology



This guide will show you how to configure your Synology NAS device to work with OpenELEC.

The Synology End

 * Enable the NFS service found under Control Panel -Win/MAC/NFS. Check the "Enable NFS" box and click OK
 * You must add a NFS Privileges entry for the share that you want to access using NFS i.e. The default 'video' share. This is found in Control Panel - Shared Folder
 * Highlight the share to want to access using NFS and click "NFS Privileges" near the top (highlighted in red below)




 * Click Create and add an entry for the IP address of your Openelec device as shown. The Synology NAS supports wildcards if you need more than one device with NFS access







On OpenELEC 2.0

 * netmount.conf is not used anymore.
