Speed shown in Gbps (Dashboard), Mbps (Result list) and even in Pbps (API - Homepage)

[Magelo]

Describe the bug
An ancient bug is reappering with Speedtest-Tracker (lscr.io/linuxserver/speedtest-tracker:latest - 0.16.2).

On dashboard:

On result list:

On Homepage:

All these screen captures are showing the same speedtest. Using a notification threshold with these results is not useful.

Another small annoyance, even if I made sure I was up to date with docker version 0.16.2, still showing 0.16.1 in the lower left of the Dashboard.

Because the sqlite database upgrade went wrong. I tried a new install and followed the documentation to use speedtest-tracker with mysql. Is it mysql related my problem?

[Magelo]

If only it was true! Having a peta bit internet feed would be awesome!

So looks like Homepage is expecting to receive the value in bits which it then converts. I'll circle back around to this after a couple more fixes seeing how it's just a "view" issue and the underlying data is good.

A while back this bug was introduce then resolved. I think you used Mbsp everywhere and it worked everywhere, even with Homepage. Showing 2 Gpbs is nicer than 2000 Mbps, but if it's more practical to standardize to Mbps, I'm OK with that.

You're probably right and now I'm dynamically setting the postfix in my Numbers helper.

0.16.3 (I know, it's shown in the lower left corner) is now installed and the Dashboard and Results are showing the same speeds in the same units. Homepage is still broken.

You're probably right and now I'm dynamically setting the postfix in my Numbers helper.

If you can manage to keep dynamically showing the units, but return Mbps to the API request, it would be great.

On a positive note, wow, you're reacting really fast. My first working result (after I managed to bypass the data migration error) was at 8h15 EST, and managed to find time to log a bug at 18h55 EST (after work)... and 0.16.3 is already available! thanks.

Why in the homepage widget code they are multiplying : * 1000 * 1000... should be at least * 1024 * 1024...

Maybe you should keep your Numbers helper as is and ask to modify the homepage widget instead. removing * 1000 * 1000 would make more sense.

I have a different problem with results.
the dashboard and results page show a lower numbers than the Telegram notification, API on Heimdall or even a Grafana dashboard.
I've switched to the linuxserver image but the outcome is the same.

edit: it seems the results page & dashboard show results in Mebibits instead of Megabits.

Using Homepage Custom API :

       widget:
          type: customapi
          url: {url}/api/speedtest/latest
          mappings:
            - field: 
                data: download
              label: Download
              format: float
              scale: 1/1073741824
              suffix: Gbit/s
            - field:
                data: upload
              label: Upload
              format: float
              scale: 1/1073741824
              suffix: Gbit/s
            - field:
                data: ping
              label: Ping
              format: float
              suffix: ms

The scale could be ajusted to fit your ISP. Mine give me aound 2Gbit/s download and around 4Gbit/s upload. So I prefer having
the speed shown in GBit/s. My scale is 1 / 1024 / 1024 / 1024. This is a temporary fix. I could use format: bitrate with no scale, but the result is rounded to the nearest whole number (1.83Gbit/s is shown 2Gbits/s).

Not sure if this is related, but in the Results Page, the values shown are in MByte/s, but are advertised as MBit/s.
On the Dashboard, everything seems to be fine though.

@Magelo thank you for the custom widget. Somehow I only get the ping value and not download nor upload. Please advice ?
