  • Do you have a 15mb DSL connection or something? If it’s close to 100mb or more you should be fine on this front. Maybe your router is super old and cant handle lots of connections that the arr stack requires. You can limit the amount of parallel connections and the total bandwidth available to the arr stack.

    As for Jellyfin, if the problem is your slow connection to the outside internet, then you can force transcode all streams to non local clients to a lower bitrate, but direct stream to local clients (assuming your router can handle that, but I’ve never seen a piece of networking equipment that is slower that 100mbs)

    Also I’d recommend connecting to your router’s web gui and see what it says, how mush traffic is going around and so on. You can usually find your router’s ip and login details on a sticker on the back.















  • People in my household have two uses for HA. The first one is automated lights: you walk in — the lights are on, you walk out — you forget that you were ever in the room, the second use is finer control (colour, brightness, temperature) using a simple dashboard for lights that have a physical on/off switch.

    I’ve provided integration to HomeKit so the tech savvier ones have set up their own automations such as turning on the lights in their room when their alarm goes off.

    In return I get to spy on everyone :3

    In my room I’ve gone crazy, controlling and automating literally everything, without nearly any physical controls.

    Fully agree with schizo! Not having to think about things like light, temperature, co2 and the likes is my goal too!
