I set up Kodi through my Synology NAS using NFS and SMB. It did see the files, I could
browse directories, it downloaded video information, but when I selected a particular
file (avi, mkv, etc.) just nothing happened.
When I copied the file to a USB stick and attached to the VU+'s USB port it did play.
So I thought that it has nothing to do with the file itself, something should be wrong
with how VU+ have access to these files through a NAS server.
It seems that I figured how to solve this issue, at least it does work for me.
SOLUTION
Here is the trick: you have to attach the NAS folder through Root mount. Please read
the detailed guide how it works for me:
1) Setup your NAS to enable NFC or SMB, here is a detailed guide for several NASs:
http://kodi.wiki/view/NFS
2) I use MediaPlayer2, instead of MediaPlayer.
3) Download and Install MediaPlayer2 through Addons from VU+ Main Menu
(Addons > Addons Download Manager >Blackhole Addons Plugin > select and install MediaPlayer 2 from the list)
4) Make MediaPlayer2 the default player for Kodi
Follow the second step in the attached link, to make MediaPlayer 2 the default player for Kodi.
(Copy, the plugin.py files to Kodi's directory to /usr/lib/enigma2/python/plugins/extensions/kodi)

You do not need the first step, because in STEP3 you installed MediaPlayer.
5) Mount your NAS as Root Directory
VU+ Main Menu > Setup > System > Select your network connection (WLAN or LAN)
6) Follow the picture quide to finalize the process: Kodi1.jpg and Kodi2.jpg
