[Frame] Does anybody else have issues with streaming after yesterday's beta update to the Frame? (feddit.dk)

Before I spend tons of time trying to debug some intermittent connectivity issues I wanted to ask if some of you were also on the beta channel and experienced issues with streaming since yesterday. I think my issues started around when the update for the Frame arrived, but I was also trying out a seated game outside my normal play area so I don't have a perfect apples to apples comparison. For me its about 80% smooth sailing but sometimes I get a 5-20 second dropout in visuals, not the usual second or two I get when I turn my head too fast (that is probably caused by my subpar WiFi which we currently don't have a setting to disable for streaming). These dropouts don't return me to the passthrough as would be expected, they last for much longer, and happens out of the blue, even if I don't turn my head risking destabilising the 6GHz connection.

My Frame was bricked by the charging issues from the previous update, about to RMA.

However before that, I investigated streaming issues on 6GHz and pinpointed it to Windows losing the region settings. That's because 6GHz wifi requires a narrow band setting that's different in each country (and broadcasting beyond the allowed band is illegal). For some reason, Windows just did not pick up the region from nearby devices and thus sometimes didn't see the Frame's 6GHz hotspot (this is what the dongle connects to).

It's probably not related to your issue, since it caused complete loss of connection, not intermittent dropouts. Either way, might be worth checking if the region is set correctly.

Streaming on Linux worked flawlessly, it's possible to set the region there easily.

I never had any dropouts just by moving around, though.

I'm sorry to hear you were hit by the charging issue. Region settings are set correctly so that shouldn't be the issue. Maybe I'll just have to wait for a new update.
