Speedtest addon no longer works

Help and Support Vero 4K / Vero 4K +
1

I’ve recently reset my Vero4K+ to the January 2020 release, following other issues I’ve had, and find that the standard Kodi ‘Speedtest’ addon no longer works. (Although the CLI version does.) Is this a known issue? Is there likely to be a future fix? (Which would probably need to come from the Kodi camp anyway.)

FYI, here’s the failure hightlighted in the kodi logfile …

=================== snip ================

Have you contacted the add-on developer?

Will do Sam.
Bit of a newbie but managed to find him on GitHub and will raise an issue against the addon.

Thanks.

For some reason I found it highly unreliable. Different results each time and nowhere close to the actual speed from the house (as verified by all the other devices).
