Bugzilla – Bug 10839
Network Test Broken (menu doesn't appear - move back to network settings when node issue fixed)
Last modified: 2011-01-14 00:33:08 UTC
I am fixing this for 7.3.3, Tom needs to check it on 7.4 as the event handling is in the process of being changed. +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #10806 +++ On 7.3.3 r3856 network test is broken for me. If I invoke it, it starts but the scroll wheel does not change the speed. Other buttons appear to work. Also, the screen is dim, I don't remember it being that way before.
the menu stopped app working when Net test was moved from advanced settings to network settings. the call to setCustomNode doesn't appear to be making the "Network" node appear.
The original issue (buttons/scrolling don't work) works correctly, so remaining issue is that the menus don't appear.
== Auto-comment from SVN commit #7139 to the jive repo by tom == == https://svn.slimdevices.com/jive?view=revision&revision=7139 == Bug:10839 Description: - for 7.4, reverting to having net test in advanced which works
this is an administrative shuffle on priority fields to help make better judgment on the top end of the priority list. P4->P5, P3->P4, and P2->P3.
Tom, what should happen with this bug?
Network Test is supposed to be under Network, but due to a bug with custom node I wasn't able to get it to appear there dynamically, and haven't been able to understand why yet...
You should discuss this with Weldon and Dan. I think the network test should be made more automatic/less techy, and integrated in diagnostics.
7.4.x milestone is in the past
Received CX review feedback that it wasn't obvious how this Network Test screen was helpful to the user. Does it help you diagnose connection issues with MySqueezebox.com? When do you use it? Probably should review purpose and plan for this feature. Comments below are for Fab4: "3) When you select “Network Test” from Settings, you get this weird screen that doesn’t help the user in any way. I kept it running for a while but didn’t get a “Results page” or anything. Unless, the user selects the Right button on the remote and reads the Help screen, it helps provide some clarification. Also, there is no way to get to Help screen without the remote. There should have been a “Help” button on the screen UI."
Yes a touch interface for NetworkTest was a last minute addition on Fab4 and really needs some thinking about... (You can get to the help option by touching the title which is a context menu and scrolling down) As for a simpler function for squeezeplay players, what's there at present was really contrained by adding it without any firmware changes on ip3k. With SqueezePlay I think we could change it to be a simple measure of how fast can we stream to a player. This is only relavent with a standalone SbS, so perhaps we remove the menu unless a remote SbS is detected. What it could show is a simple bar which tops out at say 5M and shows how fast we can stream at - a bit like the online broadband speed meters you see from some web sites. Proposal will need some code changes in SP and SBS for the actual measurement and would have to be different from the measurement of network throughput to non SP players.
