Stupid question, but oh well : from the viewer perspective, is the server the streamer is streaming to the server you must watch from ? Or is there a way to force viewing through another server ?

I ask this because as a european viewer, i still have a ton of problems of lag with Twitch depending on the streams i watch.

No effect, once twitch receives the stream it's sent around their network to multiple servers.

Are you watching from the same server if you watch from for example ru.twitch.tv or nl.twitch.tv?
I can no longer rest under the tree of wisdom, since you have axed down the roots feeding it.

Yeah that makes no difference, it's just for the language of the site.

I had the same issue! And I'm in Jersey, only 1.5 hours from the city. I've seen other people have similar issues with the servers closer to them having a higher ping.

Does anyone know why this is? Does it have to do with traffic to that server?

I thought it was obvious, but here is what the numbers mean:

Last: the last ping to the server
Avg: the average ping to the server
Jitter: the stddev of the ping to the server


You want a low average ping with low jitter. The numbers are color coded to help you figure out what is high or low.



hmm hmm hmm

and what if one server has
30 avg but 3jitter
and another 40 avg and 0,5 jitter ?

Test the bandwidth and see which is better. Probably identical at those levels.

Just wanted to let you know when this program can't connect to a server (blocked IP via firewall for instance) it shows 0ms green, instead of red or a can't connect.

I'm releasing the source code for this under the GPL license.

Download (C# / Windows Forms):
http://www.teamliquid.net/staff/R1CH/JTVPingsrc.zip

Possible future ideas:
  • Bandwidth test using an RTMP stream to each server to test maximum sustainable bandwidth.

  • Proxy local RTMP connections to the server with the lowest latency (routes often change so one server might not always be the best)

  • Option to auto-tune relevant Windows settings for high BDP connections (TCP send window, compound TCP, delayed ack frequency, etc)

You are now loved by XSplit with this idea!

https://www.xsplit.com/issues.php
"Justin/TwitchTV & Own3d ingest location ping tester dropdown
Try to dropdown the Location list.
Implementation is very much inspired by R1CH. He came up with the idea for this functionality and we could not help but to include this as a native part of XSplit."

Which is more important? avg. ping or jitter? I have double jitter on VA Secondary, but half the ms on avg ping compared to primary.

JTV - Ingest Ranker

This tool will make the choice for you.

There are several options for scan preferences + the ability to copy results to clipboard by selection (if enabled).

Since I cannot use images..

Results
Getting data
Three runs same settings one after the other
Copied to clipoard

This tool will automatically select the three best servers and test only them to provide an accurate result in less time.

The tool can also test all available servers and will always create the list from best to worst using the value of average ping + jitter

For example 2 servers with a ping of 50ms the one with less jitter would be set as the better server or results like 48ms ping and 2 jitter would be better than 45ms with 6 jitter.

-Enjoy

Hi,
Yes, the tool(s) are accurate in the way they operate. They will tell you the optimum server to stream to, based on average round trip response times. But they don't tell you the available throughput between you and the server, and this is typically what limits your streaming capabilities (when referring to network). As an indicator for throughput you can use sites like speedtest.net to get a ballpark estimate of your throughput.
Free to do whatever I want!
