hi i cant run any addons like umbrella or fen on kodi 20 i also tried to create an account in the old forum looking for answers but not success.
i read something about installing piton but i coulnt get all the instructions.
Best course of action is to forget about the HDMI port of your NAS (who wants a loud blinky NAS close by anyways?) and switch to a KODI box
dolbyman is the most helpful user here, but many have a different use case. We need HDMI ports for our use case to monitor parking lot and doors for our business. I am not familiar with kodi 20 but I would put in a ticket.
I am specifically talking about the movie/video playback functionality.
Many years ago QNAP had a dedicated qpkg for KODI, support was good and all were happy. Then out of the blue kodi and Plex Player support was pulled together with a very crippled native ffmpeg build (and removal of codexpack). We never got an explanation from QNAP, but shortly after QNAP implemented an (also Taiwanese) codec from a company called CAYIN.
QNAP has disgruntled (one way or another) all 3rd party devs that tried to sideload KODI into HDStation, so currently no active development is done.
So the alternative of a cheapo KODI player vs. all sorts of grief trying to get media playback to work … not worth it.
