Plus the inability to access alternative video sources, install add-ons and plugins and of course the completely customization XMBC menu and design is something that a mainstream media application like Plex cannot provide. But the interface for many and the catagory structure isn’t great. Of course if you are using a QNAP NAS as a Plex Media Server and you have an HDMI port, you can actually access your Plex PMS directly through your TV (a nd control/navigate with the IR remote control provided with most HDMI enabled QNAP NAS now). I do not believe that Kodi or QNAP truly, deep down wanted to part ways and for many since the ‘break up’ they have had a hole in their NAS life that only Kodi can fill. In the case of Kodi, it was a forced decision. Perhaps their licence has expired, or they did not play well with the latest QNAP QTS update, perhaps they are been superseded by something better. For one reason or another Apps do come and go. This is not the first time QNAP have removed applications from it’s large collection of available applications. Why is Kodi no longer available for QNAP NAS? However as of spring 2016 Kodi.qpkg file and installation could no longer be found in the app store and one of the best XMBC based and arguably one of the best and most user friendly media server applications was no longer available to QNAP NAS users. Of course this was a disappointment to many and those lucky few who already downloaded and installed the application from QNAP App center were fortunate enough to not have the program removed in further updates. However all that changed early in 2016 when it was announced that QNAP NAS would no loner be supporting KODI in it’s app store. All three provide an excellent platform for centralizing and distributing your media, of course each has it’s own strengths and weaknesses – luckily none of them are exclusive and there is nothing stopping you using all three on your NAS media Server. Over the last two or three years the most popular applications for NAS that many have opted for are Kodi, Plex and Emby.
Currently one of the most popular uses is, of course, centralizing your media collection. For many of us choosing our first NAS involved a number of important factors and features of the unit and the NAS brand.
