Hello. I'm trying Openelec on my Intel NUC i3. Before I tried Lubuntu + Kodi, but it was very unstable. Now I've another problem, that seems appear after the Openelec installation. I've a gigabit wired LAN in my home. I've video and audio files in one other desktop PC with Linux Mint in the same LAN. When I reproduce that audio or video files on the NUC through the LAN, after some minutes the playing freezes, and the Kodi interface no longer works. I've to restart the NUC and/or switch off and on the LAN switch, but, restarting the playing, the problem comes back again. A friend of mine says that it seems a buffering problem. I'm not a network expert at all, so, I don't know what to do to solve the problem. Only know that using a gigabit wired LAN, the problem should not happen... I've also tryied to substitute the LAN switch with another, also Gigabit, but the problem still happen (both are economic LAN switches, but different brand and model). Any ideas? May thanks to all. P.S this evening I will try to do a debug log.

Thank you David. Last evening I've just restart the LAN router (not the switch, but only the router, I never restart it before), then I've played one music album and one movie, without interruptions. I don't kow if and how it can influence the problem, because I use the router only to go on Internet, the home PCs are connected each other by the LAN switch, and the router is connected to the switch. Anyway I'll check more these days and I'll report. Thanks.

Fritzbox 7xxx by unitymedia by chance and a switch behind it?
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.

D-Link is not a fritz box ... no idea - I am not into networking.
