Well I have at least the same experience and for me NFS is far from
dead.  Many NAS servers offer it nowadays and it's my system of choice
for drive sharing.  It's *much* easier to configure than Samba/SMB.

I did originally ask for DLNA compatible because I thought it was the
only show in town really but file sharing really makes much more sense
in my situation (a home LAN).

Yes, it just happens to be broken on the tablet I installed it on.
Everything else works but the hamburger icon does nothing.  I've
installed it on a different Android device and the hamburger works as
it should.
