No live view on the new Nikon D500

I connected my new Nikon D500 via USB cable, the camera was identified by qdslr dashboard, I was able to activate the live view on the camera in qdslr dashboard, but the screen stayed black, the live view wasn't transfered to my tablet.
Will this be fixed in the next update?

Yes it will. Next week will get my D500 and then will see to update qDD so that LV works.

Working on it. Trying to add the new flash methods that the D5 and D500 has.

Any idea how to use the WiFi? I did not figure out how to activitate it - SnapBridge does not work on my "old" androids...

Didn't figure out yet the Bluetooth protocol. I managed the activate wireless with the Snapbridge and as it crashed right after it I could connect with qDslrDashboard to the D500.
I did test the Snapbridge application on
LG G4 with Android 6 - works but it will crash or just fail when I try to remote control the camera.
nVidia Shield K1 - does not work at all (has Android 6 and BLE )
Nexus 7 - does not work
Oppo Find5 - works and for my surprise even remote control works from the Snapbridge application (will crash if I press the settings button in the remote application) - runs Android 4 (Omni ROM)

Will qdslr dashboard ever work on the D500? Even not by USB??
At least it SHOULD work on USB :evil:

V3.5.2 that I'm preparing already works with D500 / D5 with USB (or the MR3040)
Wireless is also possible but there is no way of enabling the wireless from the camera (hope the rumored firmware update will change this)

My experience so far, maybe it can help.

After many tries I finally could connect my D500 to my LG G Pad 2 8.0 via Snapdridge , now Snapdridge connects every time to my D500, I have Live view, touch focus and take a picture from G Pad.
With Galaxy S3 Snapdridge can see D500 but crashes when I try to control the camera.
