I am sick and tired of not being able to run a basic speed test from my Nvidia Shields. I am building an open-source app that does that. NO ADS AND NO DNS THEFT
Netflix Speed Tester: https://fast.com/#
From HBOmax
Android TV: On your Android TV, go to Apps and download an internet speed test app to test your connection speed (or test your speed from a computer on the same network). To do this, open a browser on your computer and search for 'internet speed test.'
There isn't a good Android TV (Google Play Store) app that is not horrible or sketchy as hell.
I think if I find the public catalog APIs or something similar, I can run a speed test against that. I can have a single window app that tests the connecction with speed.cloudflare.com and then a GREEN | RED dot next to major services.
Two buttons
- Run Speed Test
- Run Extended Speed Test Tests all the service speeds and such
I think download speed is good for now, but maybe add in upload, ping, jitter, etc... with plain language advice about what could be wrong.
V2 of this should have a monitor on the major streaming sites to say if they are up or down.
So.... FEC's official speed test/broadband map is down... https://broadbanddata.fcc.gov/
V1 of all this is a super basic speed tester. Name of app: speed tester
