New Firmware QS012 - support for bluetooth head sets.

Chrisee — Tue, 25 Oct 2022 05:42:09 GMT

The roll out of QS012 firmware has started with at least one significant change which is a new option on Glass TVs where you can link a Bluetooth audio device via/Settings/Connected Devices/ where a third option Bluetooth device now appears. This should help anyone with a bluetooth hearing aid or headphones and should be independent of the main audio output but I haven't tested that.

Only had a quick check but I cannot see any other changes including the promised picture improvements or changes to the Playlist but they could well be in the firmware but not activated.

If Sky follow normal roll out plan around 5% of units will have updated another small batch will update the following week then the whole fleet of both Stream pucks and Glass TVs within a couple of weeks or so.

You will know when it completes which will be when @Anonymous finally has the new firmware.

@Chrisee @Jporch316 will let you all know in about 2 - 3 weeks time when the roll out is complete🤣

Looks like the programme info bars have had subtle changes too. The info now floats in a box rather than the full width of the screen, same with the watch from start prompt.

Also the play / pause bar has had a slight refresh with cleaner icons.

On this week now also appears underneath available episodes rather than being a separate tab. So looks like this update provides quite a few cosmetic changes rather than 'big features'

Hopefully some much needed bug fixes 🤞

Thank you in advance

You won't be able to force yet as it's a new release. It'll soon be here for all.

My Glass TV did update today to version 11.008 puck still on 11.007

@Chrisee @Anonymous @Anonymous

mine has also updated to qs011-08 overnight ???

is this an intermediary stage for 12?

did you notice this @Chrisee before the update

navigaring the menus seems a lot more jerky since the update

@Jporch316

Just what we we want more jerkiness

@CardiffMan1992

My glass tv is a bit too expensive and big to throw out the window 😂

Re: New Firmware QS012 - support for bluetooth head sets.

Debonsteve59 — Tue, 25 Oct 2022 18:30:02 GMT

Still on 011.007

@Jporch316 went from QS011.07 to QS012. There are a number of changes one is a slightly longer times to lock a stream. It maybe that has been lengthened to improve reliability. It is probable 11.08baddres a specific issue which is also dealt with in QS012 but that is a guess.

The UI changes for when playing content is very nice and welcome. The UI changes for channels menus are nice too.

@Debonsteve59 Your Glass/Stream will be updated as & when, the rollout is done in small batches 1st in case of any issues. Then rolled out in bigger batches, patience is required.

Debonsteve59 — Tue, 25 Oct 2022 19:51:38 GMT

Patience is not something I have with IT updates

The only problem I've had the whole time I've been on Glass has been waiting for the menu/remote to respond after turning it on. It'll start up and display the home screen and I have to wait 20/30 seconds until I can do anything. Hope one of the software updates fixes this soon!
