AutoBW: Automatically set QoS bandwidth using spdMerlin

[Sebastien Bougie]

I'll need to fix this up again, but has the OP gone MIA?

Good question... I hope not I really like the script

Maybe he's gone fishing

Same here. It appears that AutoBW doesn't recognize the new location of spdMerlin stats. Simply move the config and stats back to jffs until it is resolved.

I'm getting the error below due to recent update, what's the quick work around to fix this...where is the new location ?

ERROR: spdMerlin stats not found.
      Try again in a minute or two.
      If it still fails try running 'spdmerlin' first

Me too. And because of the higher variability in connection speeds, it is a really useful tool to have during lockdowns!

I'm going to patch up and host a v1.6 until @squidbilly is able to merge my PRs

you are brilliant. I hope this is not a large undertaking for you since you have 1bazillion other wonderful things you are working with.

 

[Kingp1n]

working fine here Jack

+1 ...all is working flawlessly!

+1 ...all is working flawlessly!

Seems to be fine here as well @Jack Yaz

 

[TechTinkerer]

@Jack Yaz if squidbilly doesn't come back would you ever think of doing your fork of it as a proper release?

Thanks

Thank you!!

Quick feedback:

In "real" mode the limits were set as follows:
Download limit was set at 100 Mbps, although it should have been 153.6. I remember this being an issue before with AutoBW.
Upload limit was set at 3.9267578125, but the output of AutoBW was 4.0212. A minor difference that I report just in case it matters.

Cheers!

I am back ... what did I miss?
Been a crazy few weeks (even for 2020); you wouldn't believe me if I were to tell you.

 

[Kingp1n]

@squidbilly welcome back!!! Hope all is well with you. A few changes were made to the spdMerlin script which wld need update to AutoBW script. @Jack Yaz made a quick fix update to the AutoBW script to temporarily work with the new changes. Maybe you can implement the changes to the beta script you were working on.

Again...welcome back!

Welcome back! Was worried you disappeared. With how 2020 has gone so far, I'm even scared to ask.

Thanks gentlemen. I just had/still got a lot going on personally and professionally (some good and some bad) ... just being pulled in a lot of different directions so I had to cut a few things loose, like my help with AutoBW, at least for now. Thanks to those who picked up the slack. This COVID-19 has been a gamechanger on many fronts.

for this to work, autoBW needs speed numbers that bypass qos current limits, no?.
can spdmerlin results do such a thing?
i though that if qos is enabled, the speeds found by spdmerlin would reflect qos effect?

when I was using FreshJR Adaptive QOS, spdMerlin saw line speed and so autoBW set the expected speeds. I'm using CakeQOS now and spdMerlin sees the reduced speeds as set by CakeQOS

I switched to CakeQOS on Jun 22 and tried a few different settings till Jul 3

This worked for me (08.07.2020):
*Please pre-install spdmerlin via amtm and let it run for 1 Time before following the installation of AutoBW

Install Script with this command ->

curl "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/jackyaz/AutoBW/master/AutoBW" -o /jffs/scripts/AutoBW && chmod 755 /jffs/scripts/AutoBW

Install "bc" via Entware ->

opkg install bc

Install "nano" via Entware ->

opkg install nano

Start Script one time with

/jffs/scripts/AutoBW

Edit AutoBW for your needs and remove Test Mode

nano /jffs/scripts/AutoBW

Nano into services-start and add a Cron to let AutoBW adjust QOS speed for example every 10 Hours.

nano /jffs/scripts/services-start

and add this ->

cru a AutoBW "0 */10 * * * /jffs/scripts/AutoBW"

Enjoy.

--------EDIT-------

Still getting some Syntax errors with latest stable Merlin release 384.18 and spdmerlin 3.6.1
