Fixed.
I was thrown for a loop until I figured out us vs ms. Seeing 800 us I was like what's going on with my server oh wait thats really good haha.

I don’t think this is working properly when not on home lan/wifi. Cellular has a few hundred mb download and has no issues playing original quality. Speed test to server shows point one mb download.
A bit of a difference between Safari http://192.168.1.4:8190/speedtest and the New Native Speed Test
This latest build should fix the remote access.

Yes it fixed it for me. Make sure you are on v2024.03.29.0505 or later on the app.
I did have a later version of the app installed but looks like I had to update my DVR too — now I'm good.
Good call. This does require an up-to-date pre-release build of the DVR to work correctly.
I would also like to know.
Maybe first they should state what the down arrow speed and up arrow speed represents.
Is the down arrow the speed the client downloads data from the server?
My two results show download 564Mbps and down arrow 41.8Mbps - big difference.
This new test must also be doing something else... I wonder if the server cpu and drives are generating the bits to be downloaded at the same time it is sending them. My safari test is much faster too.
I do know that my LAN speed tests using other applications (testing read/write to the NAS drives over the network) have sightly slower write to the nas than read. But this is expected as the writes are doing RAID parity calculations. Nevertheless, my write to nas drives from my computer is faster than Channels DVR reports my atv network connection upload (both are connected with gigabit ethernet).
It doesn't match my iperf tests to the same server, either (tested in both directions)
:
Something is wrong with the Channels-DVR test.
I have two servers. One running proxmox and another running directly on synology nas. The server running on proxmox gives me 940 up and down. However on my synology nas I get 68 down and 940 up. I used a usb adapter and the native 1 gig on the nas and both gave the same response back. So I thought maybe a bad cable. So tried a different one and got the same thing. So I decided to do a speed test between my computer and the nas by uploading and downloading a movie. Speeds are close to 2Gbps or exceeds. So there is something odd with the speed reporting for download on Synology using Channels Speed Test.
Yeah, it has been determined to not work right for qnap either. Maybe it’s the aggregated links throwing it off. Or it could be that Channels app is not using the full bandwidth in both directions, in some cases. I hope its just a reporting issue, but, regardless, I haven't been having any real connection issues.
I have a further comparison using iperf vs channels speed test on the same apple tv. Keep in mind that iperf is the gold standard for network speed testing:
That's a great number for latency (not to mention it's fast too)!
