Qnap NAS and KODI

[Enquiries]

I have followed your video about installing KODI without any problems but when I click on the KODI Matrix Icon to open the App it just shows me the screen that says open, stop or remove but doesn't load. I have stopped PLEX in case that was the problem and the software has loaded as it shows 452.63MB loaded. Any idea why it will not run?

Thank you for your message regarding the issue with KODI not loading on your QNAP NAS.

It sounds like KODI is installed successfully, as you can see that it is loaded with 452.63MB, but for some reason, it isn't running as expected when you click the icon.

Here are a few things you can try to resolve the issue:

Check for QNAP System Updates: Ensure that your QNAP firmware is up to date. Sometimes, compatibility issues arise with older system versions that may affect app functionality.

Reboot Your NAS: A simple reboot of the NAS can often resolve issues where apps fail to start. Try restarting your QNAP and then attempt to open KODI again.

Check Permissions: Ensure that the correct permissions are set for KODI to run. Sometimes, the app may require additional privileges that might not have been set during installation.

Reinstall KODI: If nothing else works, I recommend uninstalling KODI and reinstalling it. This can resolve any corrupt installation issues or conflicts with other apps, including PLEX.

Log Files: You can check QNAP’s system logs for any error messages that could give a clue about why KODI isn't launching. This can often highlight conflicts or missing dependencies.

Check Resource Usage: Even though PLEX is stopped, check if other applications or processes are consuming too many resources. You might want to monitor CPU, RAM, and disk usage to see if your system is under heavy load.
