Hi
Im trying o enable the PVR addons on my Qnap 251 NAS which has a Ubuntu version of Kodi 14.2 installed.
The Kodi wiki states you need to run sudo apt-get to achieve this. The problem is my Qnap has no root user so the sudo command is not recognized.
Anyone know another way I can install the PVR addon's without using sudo apt-get ?

Thanks for the replies
The QNAP 251 has HDMI out. I have it plugged straight into my TV .
hmmm ok I have no idea how to compile it either. Does anyone know ?

Are you certain you can't get root on the Qnap?

When trying to use the sudo command it returns the result
Sudo: unknown user: root
Sudo: unable to initialize policy plug in
I'm not brilliant with Linux but does this tell me the admin account I have doesn't have root?

Sounds like it, I don't know why Qnap would cripple a Linux installation like that. Try Google to see if someone else has figured it out.

Yeah already had a Google about and not come up with much. Thought I'd check on here, if anyone knows how it can be done

I took the liberty of changing the title and moved the thread to the Linux support forum.
