Please help me stop my baby from crying because kodi keeps buffering (ttrpg.network)

The toddler loves having Kodi full of all their faves but I haven’t been able to iron out all the buffering I’m getting streaming from my mini-pc NFS mounted shares to the pi4 libreelec hooked up via Ethernet in the living room. Everything is wired, so I wouldn’t think that would be an issue but here I am about to put down a couple hundred dollars for a Synology router that looks like the monolith from 2001. Is this going to do the trick, you think? Is there another router recommended to keep a distributed little homelab (any 10tb spread between various usb hdd, raspberry pi’s and mini PCs all hosting a variety of containers and services) running smoothly? Budget I’m hoping to keep under 300 and lower the better but happy toddler and buttery smooth streaming over lan is the priority.

Well maybe don't post about how your kid crys when they can't watch TV. And maybe you should have solicited advice from your pediatrician.

Your poor kid

Sorry you seem to not be getting it https://lemmy.world/comment/11720780

I'm going to assume you don't have kids.

Unless you've had kids you don't understand that it is practically impossible to complete even the most basic tasks unless your child is distracted.

Staying on top of household duties while managing a child is challenging enough, but then add on work, study, and every other responsibility.

I've never met a single parent who shares your opinion.

[–] Zannsolo@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I do have a young child, and where does op state they are a single parent. Yes throwing screens in front of kids is the easiest way for you to ignore them and do what you have to do, but it's not recommended and it's bad for their development.

[–] Zozano@lemy.lol 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I didn't mean OP was a single-parent. I meant I haven't met any parents.

In any case, are you telling me you haven't ever let your kid watch TV because you were too busy?

[–] Zannsolo@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Nope, no tv, no phone, no tablet

[–] Zozano@lemy.lol 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

How old?

[–] Zannsolo@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

7 months, crawling and standing they can't be left alone for more than a few seconds or they will pull themselves up and fall.

In my living room, buffering happens when the connection is only WiFi, but you are on ethernet already (which solves that for me).

pi4 libreelec

Have you considered getting one of these small Chinese "Android TV" boxes?
