Hi all, I've got a new Raspberry Pi 3 setup with openelec. I've used Kodi before on desktop installs under windows and linux in the past, so i'm not entirely new to it, but I've never had to deal with over wifi before. I've got 2 problems with my setup: Firstly, the 150mbps N wifi on the Pi is a little weak and it's setup a good distance away from the wifi router. So when streaming movies or music it can sometimes hiccup, and sometimes just get stuck and exit out of the movie. The other is my internet connection is 1.5mbps, so even when viewing youtube from a wired connection in a browser, I need to watch in 480p, or at least let the 720 or 1080 stream buffer for a good while before starting playback. I will be investigating possible better antennas for the pi, or an access point solution, but regardless... I'm wondering if there is a way to configure Kodi to buffer files considerably more, so that even in the event of a brief loss of signal, everything plays back smooth. I'd also like to configure youtube to default to 480p if possible. Digging around in the menus, I haven't found those settings, is this possible?
