KODI Nas external location
Hi just wondering if it was possible to set up KODI at my girlfriends house using the Nas that is at my house, so she could view films I have on her KODI android box?

Hi Francey532,
Welcome to the community!
Unfortunately, the NAS can ony stream media files through DLNA. If your KODI Android box supports it, the files can be viewed and accesssed. I found a similar post in the KODI forum site, you can look it here.
Hope this helps!
Kind regards,

I believe KODI supports DLNA, the problem here is really the remote location/over the internet streaming.
One option might be to use Plexmbc on the Kodi player ( http://www.htpcbeginner.com/kodi-and-plex-integration-with-plexbmc-addon/ )
What NAS do you own, and what firmware is it running?

I've got the rn204 running 6.4.1

So Plex is an option. The RN204 won't transcode, so you'll need a good network connection (speed and QoS) between the two two locations.
