Unable to read files. NFS share on Windows

[davidmoore]

I setup a NFS share that is working flawlessly with my Ubuntu server, matched up the uids and gids and I'm good to go.

Now when I mount my NFS share to my windows box I'm able to view the directories and files in explorer. I'm able to delete files and move them between folders, but whenever I try to open a video or view an image I get an error message.

Here is the error message:

File reading failed:
VLC could not open the file "Z:\Educational TV\Planet Earth II\Planet.Earth.II.S01E06.1080p.BluRay.x265.HEVC.DTS-MRN.mkv" (Bad file descriptor).

Your input can't be opened:
VLC is unable to open the MRL 'file:///Z:/Educational%20TV/Planet%20Earth%20II/Planet.Earth.II.S01E06.1080p.BluRay.x265.HEVC.DTS-MRN.mkv'. Check the log for details.

Here is the output from the MOUNT command.

C:\Users\David>mount
Local Remote Properties
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
z: \\192.168.1.4\mnt\MIMIR UID=1000, GID=117
rsize=131072, wsize=131072
mount=soft, timeout=10.0
retry=1, locking=yes
fileaccess=777, lang=ANSI
casesensitive=no
sec=sys

As you can see I configured the UID and GID to match the unix server.

Let me know if there is anything else I can gather for more information.

Also, am I able to run SMB and NFS at the same time for the same directory?

Yes, should be no problem.

And I'd try that using SMB of course, ensure your video plays fine.
