LinkPlayer 2 Feedback thread

Everything was setup according to instructions. I also had the proper green lights and restarted my Mac.

However the link player does not reproduce Nmusic or Nradio (that I'm mainly concerned for).

One thing though is that iTunes were closed and if I remember correct it should be like that.

What could be the issue?

Yes, iTunes no longer starts up.

Do you just have a BeoPort connect to the rest of your Beo-universe,

or do you, like some of us, go via a BV connection/interface ?

I have posted a

Beoport is connected on the ML setup it the house with the iMac but not hooked on a BV. It is used only to distribute Nmusic and Nradio.
Now works brilliantly!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Congratulations

Hi BeoWorlders,

I tested a bit more LP2 tonight, and Music (activated by AMEM) works fine for me, apart from the audible sound dropouts that I don't have in LP1 with exactly the same sound settings.

Radio only displays the genre, nothing else.

Would it be possible to display the Internet radio icons, like in BeoPlayer for Iphone/Ipod Touch, rather than the BeoLit picture ? I think that would make more sense.

Good news is that it doesn't bug at startup like LP1 (which in my case reloads 3 times, before working great after that).

We'll keep checking the updates here! Good luck!

The only sound drop outs I have heard are in the link room when I give the (GO) button a long press ... any clues as to what might be causing your drop outs ?

😂 just goes to show the truth of the saying "you can't please all of the people all of the time" ... I liked the Beolit !

Have now checked my setup again, and downloaded latest version.

On my BV8:

- I can now start LP2 in MENU using PC, and I can scroll and enter the options. 

- I found that since I have my Itunes library on my Time Capsule, LP2 crashed when MUSIC was chosen. Now I have moved a few songs to MacMini for test, and it works perfect - No artwork though.

- Video still crashes although I have tried to move some videos as well. I can start it using my keyboard.

- N.MUSIC works as well.

- But I can’t start it using V.MEM or A.MEM.

My BC6:

Still no control of the LP2, apart from N.MUSIC, which works fine - with the long GO for voice announcement as well.

That's good news ;-)

When you look at the music files in the finder, do they show as standard icons, or do the show the album art as icon?

When you get a crash, there should be a crash window with a "Report" or "Detail" button. Click on it and copy the text to an email and send it to me. To get my email address, open LinkPlayer,go to Windows > Console and click send. An email is generated. Paste the crash report and tell me what happened.

I suppose you've configured "A.MEM" in Preference > Sources.
Please do the following:

 

  • Quit and restart LinkPlayer.
  • Try and start Music by pressing A.MEM.
  • If it doesn't work, go to Windows > Console and click send,
  • Write down a description to remind me the context and send the email to me.

 

(Same thing for V.MEM).

Have you tried pressing Link-PC instead of just PC?

Other thing to try, while LinkPlayer is running, go to the Connection/Socket menu of the BV6 and remove and add again the connection settings corresponding to Mac mini. See in the guide if there is anything relative to Beomedia 1 setup.

p.

There must be something happening in the background... Have you configured any podcasts or RSS feeds in LinkPlayer?

I am going to re-do 'Radio' as soon as I have a long weekend to kill ;-) it isn't good enough right now.

I beleive the B&O pays Gracenote to have access to the icon database. They are not transfered in the feed. I was thinking of allowing the user to setup their own icons. But looks like there are much bigger issues to solve at the moment!
