I did a bunch of playing around with the factors and scales but I would always end up with either long streamy files being rated way too high or big spiky files being rated way too high (or both.)

What do you think of the rate at which that distance value changes ? Maybe also confined to a certain timeframe and averaging on that ? If the rate is high, then you have a spiky/bursty section, if low then the difficulty is pretty constant. Then with the actual min/max distance you can get a better idea of how drastic the spikes are or how fast is the constant section.
