Bandwidth tester for Twitch

twitchtest's Issues

Failed to parse Twitch Ingest List.

I didn't have this issue with a previous version of this software before. I get this "Failed to Parse Twitch Ingest List." error and cannot use the application.

I "ported" this to Linux/Qt

The Windows version didn't work on my Linux system even via Wine (just didn't draw the form properly?)

It's not really a port, I just made it look really similar and copypasted a bunch of your code. (At the end of the day it turned out Qt and posix sockets are just too different to recycle most of the meat.)

Quality doesn't work (I don't really know of a Linux equivalent), RTT requires root access, TCP Window size dropdown looks great and does nothing. Besides that, everything works! Unless it doesn't.

I'm just hoping to get a little mention on the page somewhere for the Linux streamers out there, all 3 of us.

Feature Request: Remember Last-Selected

It'd be incredibly handy for those of us that use TwitchTest before each stream if the selections made would persist each time the program is run. While the region selector boxes at the top are good for regions with small ingest pools, they're less-handy for NA (19 ingests) or EU (15 ingests) when you may only want to check your usual closest 3-5.

Servers list bug

Window resizing/fullscreen for screenshots?

Is it difficult to add the ability to resize the window so we can screenshot the tests when they scroll further than the window allows?

feature request: lowest seen bandwidth

the UI could use another column added to it that shows the lowest seen speed over the test duration.
this could be handy to have an idea of what max upload bitrate you can do without seeing dropped frames

UACExecutionLevel

hey Richard,

thanks a lot for TwitchTest.
Why is <UACExecutionLevel>HighestAvailable</UACExecutionLevel>?

Can't get it to work.

So I saw this tool mentioned on someone's YouTube channel but no matter what settings I use, even though I get different ping times for different locations, they all always fail. Does it matter that I'm in Canada or is there just a problem right now? Thanks.

update new streaming serwers for twitch ? or can import it from file ?

Outdated source code

The currently released version according to https://r1ch.net/projects/twitchtest is 1.52, yet the names of the commits suggest that this repository still contains the old code from 1.31. Can you please update the source code?

Re-sort servers currently in "Other" list & revise categories

Is it possible "sort" some of the servers in "Other" list into proper categories? As far as I can tell from the source, it requires hard-coding server names into ServerIsFiltered function.

As for new categories: rename "United States" to "North America" (by adding Canada and Mexico there), and add "South America" category (should be easy - all servers there are already prefixed with "South America:")

Seattle, WA Twitch server does not appear in the list

See topic. It appears in OBS Studio though. Not sure why their list differs from yours.

Perhaps it's a new server and servers are hard-coded in this tool rather than fetched from a dynamically updated list.

Finer-grained server selection

For instance, I live in the Western US and I know that no matter what I'm never going to get acceptable results off the Eastern US servers. I'd like to be able to checkbox the servers individually so I can pick five or six geo-local servers to test and get my results a bit faster.

Additionally, I'd love an option to save these between sessions so I don't have to re-check things every time I load the tool.

My use case may seem a bit odd, but I'm currently in a major dispute with my ISP that has me running the test tool several times a day right now. This has been going on for two or three months minimum already.

Rate limit

I'm in Australia. The RTT is less than 10 ms, and the bandwidth over 10000, yet the quality is always zero. I'm not partnered or even an affiliate, so I wonder if the twitch servers are discarding packets because 10000 is such a high bandwidth, or if I just have the worlds worst connection? Is there a way to lower the bandwidth that TwitchTest sends so that I can test the connection at a lower bitrate?

Other Streaming Services

I know that the name of the program is Twitch Bandwidth Test, but if possible I'd like to be able to either a) add custom RTMP servers or a list of those from other services, such as Youtube Live, Facebook Live, Mixer, Restream.io, etc.

The primary reason that I would like this is because I need SOME way to convince MediaCom customer support, my ISP, that they throttling my upload bandwidth, in particular the bandwidth to streaming services. There are many posts on the customer support forums with the same issue but they all say "take it up with twitch, the signal looks fine at your house!" yet it's not just Twitch that we can't stream to. (For example, I pay for 20 Mbps upstream, yet from your tool I can see that I"m getting less than 500 kbps to all of the NA ingest servers for twitch.) I simply want/need a way to test similarly to other services.

Is the Stream key really necessary?

I don't know much but I couldn't do the Stream key without the tests?
