pfSense 2.5.2 video stalling and buffering
-
No other packages running?
Nothing in the system logs? The WAN interface reconnecting for example?
Check the Status > Monitoring graphs covering the period this was happening. Is there packet loss? Memory exhaustion?

@stephenw10 Status -> System Logs -> System -> Gateways is empty.
-
Ok, well something was using significant CPU just recently. When on that graph did you see the issues? Just before the reboot?
Nothing in the main system log?
-
@stephenw10 Yes just before the reboot. The main system log starts at the boot. I did not look prior to rebooting the device.
-
Mmm, well I suggest next time it happens look at the process list and system logs at the time. Something is having to work hard there.
-
@stephenw10 That will depend on if it happens when the wife is expecting to watch a movie, but I get your point and would have if not for a certain amount of angst.
-
Ah, yes, sometimes it's better to just reboot.
But at some point getting more data is the only way forward really. Is there a reason you're not running 2.6?

@stephenw10 I found in the last 10 years of using pfSense that being an early adopter is not wise. My experience with upgrades has not been good, often retreating to the command line and a reinstall even though I am on a Netgate Appliance.

Ok so I upgraded from 2.5.x to 2.6.0 using the ui this time, and it worked. Pleasantly surprised. I hope this is the future as I had given up on using pfSense. We'll see how the next few upgrade go.
