HomePodCast 1.0.0-beta.5

1.0.0 beta 5. Not code-signed yet, so SmartScreen may warn ("More info" → "Run anyway"). With beta 4 installed: Settings → Updates → Check for updates. Changes since beta 4:

Changed:

• A HomePod taken over from its home-theater Apple TV: Home now says so as soon as it streams below 200 ms, before any dropout: the HomePod and the Apple TV keep a link that takes up the Wi-Fi at regular intervals, so low latencies can drop out. It suggests setting the Apple TV's audio output back to the TV for gaming, or 200 ms with one click on "Apply". Once dropouts are counted, the hint also suggests 200 ms instead of adding 15 ms at a time.

Known issues:

• On our test setup the link between the Apple TV and its home-theater HomePod took up the Wi-Fi every 2.1 seconds even with nothing streaming, and no connection setting made the HomePod let go while HomePodCast streams to it. Whether 200 ms is always enough has not been confirmed yet.

1.0.0 测试版 5：程序未签名，Windows 可能弹出 SmartScreen 提示（点「更多信息」→「仍要运行」）。装着测试版 4 的话，在 设置 →「软件更新」里点「检查更新」就能升级。相对测试版 4 的变化：

改动

• 从 Apple TV 家庭影院临时接管的 HomePod：只要延迟低于 200 ms，首页一开始推流就会提示，不用等断音出现。提示会说明 HomePod 和 Apple TV 之间有一条连接会定时占用 Wi-Fi，延迟低时可能断音；打游戏时建议在 Apple TV 上把音频输出改回电视，或者点「应用」一键把延迟调到 200 ms。已经统计到断音时，提示也会直接建议 200 ms，不再每次只加 15 ms。

已知问题

• 在我们的测试环境里，即使没有推流，Apple TV 和它的家庭影院 HomePod 之间那条连接也会每 2.1 秒占用一次 Wi-Fi。试过的连接参数都没能让 HomePod 在推流期间断开它。200 ms 是否在所有情况下都够用，还没有确认。
