Back on 4.14.29 It still reboots instantly as soon as I attempt to stream.
I'm streaming .mkv fornat from the hard drive. However a few hours back I had a failure when viewing BBC iPlayer, whose route is Internet > WRT1900 > Wireless > amazon firestick > TV.
I formatted a USB NTFS and dropped a .mkv video on it, and is now mounted /mnt/usb on the router.
Are you using minidlna to stream?

As a test, I downloaded luci-app-minidlna, and was able to stream .mkv format from the mounted USB to Kodi running on Amazon FireTV box connected to a TV..

Thinking back, there seemed to be a few people who had issues with Hard Drives as opposed to USB sticks. Can you try and do a similar setup with a USB stick and see if the problem still exists?

Thanks,

@david,
I noticed you started including alot more collectd-mod packages. Much thanks!
However, a couple serve no purpose and can be removed from the build:
collectd-mod-cpufreq : doesn't generate any data (graph) because there is no command in the view the cpu freq. You would need to add that commit I mentioned quite some time ago to enable cpufreq scaling in the kernel for this package to have any effect.
collectd-mod-uptime: what's the point of having a graph showing the uptime? lol. Doesn't work anyway. graph is constantly blank.
Should free up some room in case you decide to include dnscrypt-proxy v2 in your next build (since it is about 2MB larger than v1).

cpufreq and uptime have been removed from the collectd packages, and saved. Those will not be in the next build.

As for dnscrypt-proxy v2, Has there been any word from the package maintainer, here on the openwrt side that would indicate a push to trunk for v2? I didn't know if there was anyone working on it yet since v1 appears to be dead.
