Following this discussion, I've put together a simple plugin which tests network bandwidth at a number of rates.
I would like some feedback from people on this, to see if it really does detect the throughput people see on their wireless networks. Assuming it proves useful I will look to add to it and probably integrate it with the Health plugin. Please try the attached and feedback your results. It should work for graphics players on 6.2 and later slimservers. To use: 1) Select the "Network Test" option from the Plugin menu 2) Press down to select the network bandwith at which you want to test. 3) The screen displays the rate, 1 second %age throughput and average %age for that rate [average calculated over the period you leave it running for] You should be able to stream successfully at the highest rate at which 100% throughput is recorded. Note: for SB1 if you drive the link too fast, the remote may become unresponsive - the test can be stoped by powering off the player from the web interface (I can't find a way round this) [MrC - this is similar to the one you tested, but does not require the server patch] +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: NetTest.zip | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=496| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ -- Triode ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=16832 _______________________________________________ beta mailing list beta@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/beta
