I think it does, thank you

first of all:

I have little to no knowledge about setting up networks, user rights and security concepts.

my setup:

My Raspberry Pi 4 runs libreelec/kodi, is connected to my home network and my TV. An 2bay external HDD case with 2x1 TB (JBOD, NTFS file system with some mkv- and mp3-files on it) is connected via USB to the raspi. I just bought a 2bay NAS (qnap TS-230) with freshly installed 2x 1TB HDDs (as static volumes) for the purpose of putting mkv- and mp3-files on it, so I can play them on my raspi and maybe on my android tablet (with VLC player). Last but not least I have a Windows 10 PC in daily use in the network.

my questions:

- since I am a noob in regards of security and configuration, what are the main steps to make libreelec more safe than the default state?

- what are the main differences between "profiles" and "users"?

- if I set up users with read-only-rights - what might be a good concept?

- do I have to set up user rights within libreelec and kodi separately?

bonus question:

- since I only play mkv- and mp3-files from LE/kodi which I provide from sources which don't come from the raspi/LE/kodi - does the LE/kodi need internet connection at all?

I use libreelec (matrix) on a raspi3. It works fine to play movies in 1080p quality from my PC via SMBv3.

I plan to move my movies to a Qnap TS-230 with a 1.4 GHz ARM processor. Do you think it will work watching from there as well or might the processor of the NAS be too weak?
