Glint 1.1

What's new

Sharper picture. A new Picture tab in Settings: upscaling (FSR 1 or AI), sharpening, debanding and colour. Pick a profile or save your own presets.

Compare side by side. Press C to see the original and the enhanced picture next to each other. Scroll to zoom, drag to move, X to tweak.

Smoother browser view. Lower latency, less stutter, and sound is on by default.

One viewer at a time. Opening Glint somewhere else takes over the stream. The other side can take it back.

Better picture by default. The console now streams at 50 Mbit/s.

Lower sound delay in the app (about 190 → 100 ms).

Fixes

App

• Crash when zooming quickly
• Crash when opening the gallery
• "Invalid frame size" error when the stream was open somewhere else; it now says where
• Gallery didn't update when files were deleted or added in Explorer
• Screenshots showed 0x0 instead of their size
• Fit / 100% buttons in the viewer looked broken
• Couldn't drag around a zoomed screenshot

Browser

• Picture froze after a few seconds until the page was reloaded
• Bursts of stutter after a Wi-Fi hiccup (now one short pause)
• Kept downloading video in a hidden tab
• Used too much memory over time, which could break on phones and Safari
• "Watching" count was wrong (showed connections, not people)

PS5

• Glint only showed under "Show All System Processes" in Payload Manager
• Misleading "wait a minute" message: it now says to just load Glint again
• A failed start kept running for 30 seconds instead of quitting
• The log of a failed run was overwritten on the next start

Install

1. Download Glint.exe and Glint-1.1-ps5.elf below.
2. Upload the .elf to your PS5:
   /data/pldmgr/payloads/local/glint/Glint-1.1-ps5.elf
3. Load it from Payload Manager, then open Glint.exe.

If the console says "refused to start video capture", just load Glint again. It often happens on the first try after a restart.

Only tested on firmware 13.60 so far. Full details in the changelog.
