How do I install this plugin? I can't find it in the plugin repository.

The network browser somehow worked, so I don't have to try other E2 workarounds.

automounts.xml also works fine with <ip>hostname</ip> . Network browser can show host names, why doesn't it use host name for mounts?

I haven't got a chance to try it since I last posted.

The main reason I'm using NFS instead of CIFS is that the share is exported by a Linux host running on a weak multi-core ARM CPU, so I feel it's important to utilize all available resources to get as much performance as possible. NFS tends to perform better on Linux and it supports multithreading.

The only way I can think of to avoid scanning irrelevant hosts is to advertise the shares (e.g. mDNS/DNS-SD), but I don't think many users can be bothered to configure that.

As a compromise, is it possible to have a GUI where a user can specify a hostname/IP and get a list of shares on that host (showmount -e)? This can also be combined with avahi-browse/nmblookup to only list hosts with shares without having to port scan the whole subnet.

So scanning works for CIFS but is broken for NFS? When do you think a fix will be available?

Do I need to do the following to edit the mount?

1. telnet
2. type in "init 4"
3. edit /etc/enigma2/automounts.xml
4. reboot

Thanks, I still don't know what ondemandextras does as it's not listed there. Maybe we can create a wiki page for this.
