NFS Issues with two NAS - when only 1 NAS running - HomerJau - 2024-01-17

I have been having very bad nfs issues intermittently with Kodi v12 Omega builds for around 4 months and (wrongly) assumed it was something in my network. After replacing switches and seeing other users with nfs issues I have now found it only occurs if I have only one of my two NAS running when I play media.

My old NAS has old moves, my new NAS has my latest rips (and all my music). 'intermittently' I now realise is only when one NAS is running! (I plan to watch a 'new' movie)

The issue exhibits itself as Kodi going immediately very slow on 'play', with initial video showing, freezing and then buffering for a few minutes before playing again

Here is an extract from my log. I am playing a movie from my library from the NAS that is on: '192.168.1.123'. I see this (closing NFS connections because the 'off' NAS cannot be found:

I get lots of these errors while the Movie is buffering:
2024-01-17 07:48:40.815 T:1071    debug <general>: NFS: Context for 192.168.1.6 not open - get a new context. (that is my old NAS)

These a consecutive logs nothing removed inbetween lines:

My nfs problems have only occurred in v12 Omega builds from roughly 4 months or so ago. I now presume this was a code change around then?

Kodi is set to use nfs3. I have tried with nfs4 (same issue)

If BOTH NAS are on Kodi runs perfectly. My databases are on my Intel NUC (not on either NAS). I am running LibreELEC.
