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.

EASY KILLER

I DON'T SEE ANY JELLYFIN DISTROS

"JUST ENOUGH OS FOR JELLYFIN?" no

Though jellyfin/emby as the back end works really well

Kodi/LibreELEC is awesome for all the different stuff you can add in

EDIT for typos

You can install it anywhere. You just run the container with you media directories passed though. They have lots of documentation

It is way easier than Kodi

Oh yeah I am on board with jellyfin and emby all the way 100%

Kodi/LibreELEC is just the full suite, especially with home assistant. Use the addon and enjoy one interface for every single piece of media, cutting out each apps "eye candy" and clutter, and enjoy your tunes with visualizers!

Add-ons for everything

Moonlight for game streaming, tied into my whole home remote control and home assistant for ease of use for everyone in the family.

It's all pretty slick.

Once you get it setup just make a backup and roll that out on the other machines needed.

Kodi/LibreELEC + JellyCon add-on works great!
