I am a noob, please help me!
So basically, I am looking to make a multipurpose raspberry pi to use as a mp3 player and an emulator. I want to be able to control it via a usb retro-style controller, and my raspberry pi will be using this (https://www.hifiberry.com/product/hifiberry-dacplus-phone/) as a sound card. I was wondering if I would be able to do this using xbian, and how hard it would be. Preferably, I could use it as a sort of ipod shuffle, with no need for a screen. Will I able to swap it out between mp3 and emulator mode by using a different boot device easily? Any and all help is greatly appreciated, as I am a complete noob. Thank you!

Still wrong Tongue

Unfortunately I don't have any experience in your apps you want to run under XBian - but - XBian is based on a standard Debian Linux, so it should be possible to run all of them under XBian Shy

Yes, it will.

I'm also using a Hifiberry sound card - this one https://www.hifiberry.com/ampplus/

For configuring your RPi see here https://www.hifiberry.com/guides/configuring-linux-3-18-x/
That's you have to do for getting Hifiberry sound running.

One additional note: If you want to use LIRC and Hifiberry at the same time, you have to reassign the LIRC I/O pins because Hifiberry and default LIRC configuration uses the same GPIO pins.

@Rickt1962
Not on client side.

Just tested, I can see and mount all shares of my main nfs server (debian 8) and servers in virtual machines (tested debian 8, openSUSE Leap 42.1, Ubuntu 14.04) from Kodi side.

Important:
Make sure that exported folders grants access to user:group xbian:xbian

Hmmm, strange

Is this NFS4 or NFS3?

Did you already tried to mount nfs shares manually?

I posted over at WD forum and someone posted they think its V3

Also yes I manually added nfs://10.0.0.60/nfs/XBMC

And when I go to that location when adding file location to scan movies in. No folders show up....And I have my movies all in genre folders ! LOL Im not typing every folder in LOL

Sorry, IMO you have access rights issue. If you can mount share but don't see any content, rights in that folder are not correct

Please can you try following in ssh connection:

Terminal

sudo mount 10.0.0.60:/nfs/XBMC /mnt

ls -la /mnt/

sudo umount /mnt

and post output here
