Or, use youtube-dl and manually curate what your kids can watch, for a safe and ad-free experience. This is what my wife and I are going to do when our kid reaches the age we deem appropriate to expose it to children shows.

(I'm 100% serious, and at this point I wonder if there's business in selling a NAS preconfigured for streaming as a set-top box, with parents responsible for dropping URLs that youtube-dl will then download.)

I do this using a cron that rips videos off an unlisted youtube playlist and syncs them over to my plex server. Its great for having a group of videos to shuffle in the background while im at home.
