Accessing NFS shares by hostname / NetBIOS name



I’m running an NFS server on Debian using an exports file in the `/etc/exports.d/` folder.

I’m accessing it from a 2014 Shield TV.

Browsing has been broken in the Android versions for many years, but it works fine when typing the full path with IP address as the share name.

However, it doesn’t work by hostname.  I can access the NFS share on `mediatower` from my Windows machine using either `/mediatower.local/media/movies` or `/mediatower/media/movies`, but neither works from the Shield TV.  It only works when I type `nfs://192.168.1.5/media/movies`.

Is it possible to access the exports by hostname from the Shield TV?  If so, what is the correct syntax?

Thanks!
