Experiencing system crash and freeze up entirely while streaming IPTV on google TV with 90SF. IDK how it happens, and can't be reproduce. It seems to happen randomly.
Hopefully it will not happen again on 91SF. Beside that, it is very stable, thanks for the continuous improvement on the firmware.
All engines go! Thanks
For the TCP Congestion Control stuff again, i finally tried all the algo and found that cubic works best to me.
Thanks for inspiring me to try out other algo.

I did the same and found illinois to work best. Very snappy and can sustain the full bandwidth with minor drops during congestion but recovers quickly :)

Your current environment is changed ;)? Just interesting for my next improvements.


I've had issues with illinois. If I set it on the router and all my Linux PCs, it would often just abort a movie I'm watching. As soon as I change to another CC, the problem goes away.

The issue was the kernel I was using on the NAS. It was running 5.14 which, after some investigation, had TCP and NFS bugs. I'm now on 5.14.21 and the problem does not occure
 
Streamed IPTV for entire night on google TV, no freezing, no rebooting, no hanging. I think this is the version solve the problem.
BTW the stream(in 1080P quality) is pretty smooth, even go through bufferbloat test like nothing.
