Simple and quick update for my OG HomePods. I don’t fear updates anymore.

Same. Just worked.👍

Updated my 6 minis and 2 OG, not an issue.

But overall they look to work better than before as a stereo couple with a 3rd gen Apple TV 4K.

I used to have the "can't connect to Airplay" and the other audio bug, now it's performing better after the update.

Thanks..I’d found that link and have asked for a price for the lead in the uk.

“HomePod‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌ software is installed automatically on the ‌‌‌‌‌‌‌‌HomePod‌‌‌‌ unless the feature is disabled”

Not! It was enabled in Home, but yet I had to initiate it manually.

Maybe that bug’s now gone in this update?

Yeah, right 🤡 it won’t.

No, the update will happen when "automatic" is enabled, just not immediately when an update is released. Sometimes after one day or sometimes after a week - it seems random. And usually it happens at night when you're asleep.
The Apple TV, apps on Mac, iPhone or iPad... all the same.

Well, I wouldn’t contradict you, but they kinda never did update faster than my brain wanted it to 😊
Let’s say I never have been positively surprised by the setting…
