So let’s get started, first we need to logon to the Synology Disk Manager ( and open the control panel. In my case (and I think for many users) this isn’t a problem. Please note that in this guide there’s no access control on the NFS exports, so within the local network every NFS capable device can access the shares with read/write permissions.
So in this post I’ll explain how to enable NFS on the Synology DS and connect these shares to XBMC. The NFS protocol has less overhead compared with SMB and therefor uses about 20% less CPU resources. To solve this we can use NFS to share the media to XBMC.
All my media is stored on my Synology Diskstation and accessible over the network using the SMB protocol. The disadvantage of SMB is that it’s very CPU intensive, and because the Pi has only a 700 MHz CPU core you may experience some hick-ups during video playback. This week I’ve posted about my new Raspberry Pi which is running XBMC.
