Is the upload relatively accurate?
The numbers should be relatively accurate (though I've seen this strange situation you've seen on my own connection before), but the goal is to just help us know if the speeds are to low to handle the situation that is needed.
If you re-run it again, does the download speed give you a realistic number? I'll have to look into the upstream library we are using further to get a better understanding of why it sometimes gives these funny numbers.

For me downstream was accurate first time only then every time after that it was way off by a factor of 3. Almost feels like some caching. Upstream wasnt accurate at all. Ive got 500/500 fiber and can run any speed test in north america and get that. Channles speed test had me at 100mbit on the upload.
The point of these tests is to help people out if they're trying to use TVE and have less than 10mbits download or are trying to stream remotely and have less than 10mbits upload.
If the numbers are higher than that... it just means everything is all good.
I was thinking about what you said more and I found something in the library that needed to be reset between runs. The next pre-release build should have this fixed.
Thanks everyone for reporting it.

Yes.
I just ran it again from the same DVR Server. I have gigabit internal networking, so anything over 1000Mbps isn't possible.
First time running it on another server and it's much closer to reality

Internet speeds look good, but disk speed test seem a bit off.

Which is in spec for the Samsung 980 Pro 2TB nvme ssd that Channels is set to use on my Windows 11 server.
Im seeing inconsistent results as well..
First run download was 19mb
Second and third run was 90mb
If i go to my local address like this

Im getting
I think they only updated the clients, you used the web UI
Hey @eric you might have an issue on the latency reporting. I wasn't sure where you were getting the speedtest site from but I looked in the logs and see it is the speedtest.net site that is very close to me
This is from channels - 209ms

For some reason pics cant upload now but the browser was 500/500 2ms latency.
I mention because if I said I was having TVE issues the first thing that jumps out is that the latency is crap when it actually isn't

Disk IO what Drive is it exactly checking ? The one where Channels DVR is Installed or where the recording folder is ?
These Speeds seem too high for an external USB 3.0 Mechanical HD.
Disk IO
Write: 612.6MB/s Read: 4.2GB/s
It’s using the Streaming folder for testing.
Ok I have Streaming symlink pointing to an SSD but my recordings are on an external Drive, that is why I am getting High Speeds.
