How to Use the Speed Test Plugin on Stream Dock
MiraBoxMirabox
MiraBox Stream Dock does not natively include a network speed test feature. However, third-party plugins—typically based on Speedtest or similar tools—can be used to enable quick network speed testing via Stream Dock buttons and visually display the results. Below is how to implement network speed testing on MiraBox Stream Dock:
Installation: Use a Third-Party Plugin (Recommended)
Plugin Name: Speed Test for Stream Dock
Fatures:
Run a Speedtest network speed test with a single button press and display download/upload speeds directly on the button.
l Installation Steps:
1. Open the Stream Dock software.
2. Click “More Actions” (or the gear icon) in the bottom-left corner → “Get More Actions.”
3. In the search bar, type “Speed Test.”
4. Locate the Speed Test plugin provided by the MiraBox built-in store or the Space community .
5. Click Install.
✅ Key Features
✅ 1. One-Click Speed Test
Press the button on your MiraBox Stream Dock to automatically run a full network speed test—including download speed, upload speed, latency (Ping), and server location—without opening a browser or command line.
✅ 2. Results Displayed Directly on Button
After the test completes, the button dynamically updates its label or icon, for example:
· “↓ 25.83 Mbps / ↑ 92.44 Mbps”
· “Ping: 12ms”
You can customize font color and set an automatic refresh interval.
✅ 3. Automatic Best-Server Selection
The plugin automatically selects the optimal speed test server based on lowest latency and highest bandwidth, ensuring accurate results.
✅ 4. Test History & Detailed Reports
Long-press the Stream Dock test button to open the full test result in your web browser—ideal for analyzing network stability or ISP performance over time.
✅ 5. Configurable Test Frequency (Advanced Feature)
Supports scheduled automatic tests (e.g., every 5 minutes), perfect for long-term network performance monitoring.
Typical Use Cases:
· Quickly verify network stability before going live on stream
· Allow technical support staff to validate a user’s bandwidth during remote assistance
· Monitor home or office network performance on a daily basis
💡 Tips:
· This plugin can also show real-time upload/download rates (instantaneous bandwidth usage).
· A full Speedtest typically takes 10–30 seconds, so avoid rapid repeated clicks.
If you let me know your operating system (Windows/macOS) and your desired outcome (e.g., “open results in browser after test” vs. “show current speed on the button”), I can provide more specific configuration steps.
