How to Connect Kodi to Your Synology NAS DSM (DiskStation Manager) Home Server

Having a NAS to store files is great, but having a NAS as a media server is awesome. If one of your purposes to have bought a Synology NAS was to have it as a media server, then having Kodi in your PC / Mac / Fire TV is a must. By now you probably know that your Synology NAS gives you an option to install Plex in the NAS itself, however, Plex cannot play everything, unlike Kodi.

Tip:
If you want Kodi to update your library every time you add new content (videos) to your Synology, enable "Update Library on Start up" option in Kodi by going to "Settings - Videos - Library - Update Library on Start up", this way every time you open Kodi it will search for new files and add them to your library.
