OK, thank you.  Remember however that I am a not an experienced user
of VLC (especially not on Android) so my problem *may* be simple lack
of knowledge.

I'm very happy to test things though, I'm a retired software engineer
with quite a lot of Unix/Linux experience.

A little extra information may be of use.  When I look at 'Local
Networks' in VLC on Android I see several Samba servers and DLNA
servers in the 'Shared Folders' list but no NFS servers.  There are
definitely some NFS servers on my LAN.

I get the "This directory is empty" message when I try and add an NFS
server to the Network Favourites list.
