February 11, 20179 yr I have installed this plugin and I have used the Scheduler to set it to run hourly. But when I go to the history screen I only see the tests that I have run manually. Does the Scheduler not work properly or am I doing something wrong?
February 11, 20179 yr Author I have installed this plugin and I have used the Scheduler to set it to run hourly. But when I go to the history screen I only see the tests that I have run manually. Does the Scheduler not work properly or am I doing something wrong? It should work. I would try changing the settings to something else apply then change them back and apply. I have mine run at 3am everyday. I will change it to hourly and report back.

Does the Scheduler not work properly or am I doing something wrong? I can confirm the hourly setting is broke. Anyone who already had it set is fine. Just new settings don't work for hourly.
February 12, 20179 yr Good to know that it isn't just me. edit - It looks like it does do a test at midnight every day when set to hourly.

A bad download or something. I bumped the version to 2017.02.13 anyway cause I don't like the lettered versions. Check for updates and try again.
February 13, 20179 yr I upgraded this morning and I have had my hourly tests run successfully for the last two hours so it looks good now. Thanks for fixing this issue so quickly!
March 13, 20179 yr Any ideas why this seems to report extremely low speeds for me? I am on AT&T fiber and have 1GB up and down but this is my result I can send things using resilio sync faster than this, so I know it is not accurate. Is there anything I need to change to get a more accurate result?

Is there anything I need to change to get a more accurate result? It could be a number of things but results for gig speeds have never been accurate with the cli script. Could be UnRAID version too. There are discrepancies between using a speedtest docker and my plugin both using the same python and script. So comparing docker speeds to bare metal can differ too.

Been trying to troubleshoot some remote plex buffering issues so that was the first place I started.

April 14, 20179 yr I just noticed this message on my console: "chmod: cannot operate on dangling symlink '/usr/sbin/speedtest-linux'. Does anyone else see this?

June 27, 20179 yr I think a great feature to add would be to reboot the CM. A reboot typically solves 99% of my slow ISP problems.
September 30, 20178 yr Great Plugin! Thanks. I did look through the topic and did not see a similar post; but I might have overlooked it. I am noticing a significant difference running the plugin on my unraid and running it on a pc on the same network. My pc is reporting closer to what I am expecting than the fastest speed reported by my unraid. Edited September 30, 20178 yr by DJRon
October 1, 20178 yr Author Great Plugin! Thanks. I did look through the topic and did not see a similar post; but I might have overlooked it. I am noticing a significant difference running the plugin on my unraid and running it on a pc on the same network. My pc is reporting closer to what I am expecting than the fastest speed reported by my unraid. It's in the OP and been discussed here a lot. The speedtest script is really dependent on machine and connection. Especially on faster connections, it doesn't work. But it can be useful if that reading is consistent. It will still show you if there's a problem with your connection.If I ever get around to it I will create a docker to run the script and still use the plugin to parse the results. It seems to give better results in a docker vs running bare unRAID. Don't know why.

Ah, I was just about to ask a similar thing. On a Gigabit connection the difference is quite severe as can be seen below. No worries as long as I now know not to look at this plugin in isolation. Now, should I call my provider and apologise..... Edited October 4, 20178 yr by dalben
October 8, 20178 yr I installed this after my 3rd phone call to my provider in as many months about getting speeds as slow as 1.6 Mb/s when I am paying for 300. They called a few days later to "follow up" I told them then that I have loaded the program on my home server and have it monitoring my speeds throughout the day. Since then I have noticed consistently higher speeds. Still not always 300; but you can see a definite spike after that last "follow up" phone call.

That's great nice to see them getting caught I guess they figure that the lay person will never know!
