Hello all, but I'm very sorry if I repeated someone else's question, but as the subject states, I'm a dumba**!
Just got a new Qnap TS-451+, and want to store videos from dvd to stream over HDMI. Played with Plex for a couple of days, but really want separate accounts to keep prying eyes from the wrong media. That is why I think Kodi might be my best alternative.
Qnap TS-451+ running firmware 4.3.6.0093
Set up Static Ip on the NAS
I Installed HybridDesk Station 3.2.10
I downloaded Kodi mykodi18_18.0a1.1.qpkg and performed a manual install
But this is about as far as I can get. With the HDMI connected, I can log into Kodi on the TV just fine. When I go files/ videos and attempt locate source I see nothing in any of the protocols resembling anything like a network. I tried Windows, SMB, and only found my printer in the last location listed.
I can access the Qnap from windows and was able to upload videos to the NAS when I was using PLEX. , using the File Explorer.
At this point, I'm not sure how to connect Kodi to my network so that I can begin using it as a Media a server.
Be kind, I'm new here, and my NAS is only 5 days old!
Thank You
