No, I don't use a timer, and yes it is always running. When I wake up the Mac, it makes a small click but no sound. I have to restart LinkPlayer then...

Is there any chance LP2 and linkremote will allow volume control of speakers not connected to a Beoport. Mine are connected to my Beocenter 2 and would really love to be able to control the volume with LP2/Linkremote.

Unfortunately it is not possible. It could be with the introduction of a Masterlink Gateway, which is quite expensive. I have also thought of introducing an IR emitter in the setup. I have contacted various manufacturer but they often do not have an open API.

It could be possible, I think with only a Beoport, but I do not know what command to send to acheive this. The MasterLink protocol isn't documented publicly.

Hi Phil'

Have you looked at this.... http://www.globalcache.com/products/itach/  I have used them for both ir and serial control and they are brilliant.

Looking forward to the next release.

Can their IR control B&O, which is on an unusual frequency?

Out of interest, I took a quick look and struggled to find a straight answer - however, the software specs allow for a carrier from 32 to 500 kHz, so it should be good to go.

They smell expensive, though...

I am not a great lover of ir and have not used my itach devices with B&O codes.  I have a central (out of sight) services cupboard which houses all of my unsightly av hardware and then I distribute the various sources via a HDMI matrix via cat6 to my remote locations.  The audio side is put through a dac and then into the aux-in on my BS9000.  The rest of my audio comes from  my mac and is controlled  with LinkPlayer/LinkRemote and Apple Remote app for ipad and so I havn't really had the requirement to try and replace a B&O remote (because I only ever use them to switch link speakers on/off), everything else is controlled my my iPad/iPhone.  I have just put an itach ir module in "Learn mode" and fired a beo4 at it and it has captured a string.  It would need some investigation to see if the codes are valid.  I only have standard ir emitters which can not generate the appropriate frequency for B&O but I am sure that wide band emitters are available.  I seem to remember paying about £110 each for the modules but I would recommend them to anyone, they are faultless in operation.  You can buy a utility from www.demopad.com/ which allows you to build your own ios apps to control anything that's ir/serial or latching.

Hi

Finally got som time to check out the LP2 again.

I have formatted my Macmini, disconnected and reconnected it to my system again, "Rinsed" my itunes and tried the LP2.

My master is BV8 & BS3000 and in linkroom BC6.

I can start LP2 on BV8 using BEO4 with "PC". But no other commands work (N.MUSIC, A.AUX, V.AUX, A.MEM, V.MEM)

I can scroll down through the menu.

Photo works fine

Video accepts my folders with movies (Located on Capsule), But it doesn't reconize my movies, either in my movie folder or itunes.

When entering Music, LP2 gets stuck, and I have to control it with my keyboard. Controlling it with keyboard works fine though with artwork.

Regards

Johnny

Any news on the next update?💡

Hi Phil

Well I simply can't get the LP2 Beta 2 to work as an audio master. My setup is quite simple. A Beoport connected to a Mac Mini and a Master Link from the Beoport to a Beolab 3200 speaker.

The setup worked fine with the LP1 and it also works when I connect a windows pc to the Beoport - so the wiring is correct I guess :-)

In the preferences -> General I have done the following:

Beoport (Green LED): Beoport connected to Masterlink, unchecked "Respond to Timer Commands", Connected to Headphones (I also have a HDMI to a receiver, but the sound to the Beoport is from the Headphone jack on the Mini), FW 1.31

Audiomaster (Grey LED), Inactive: This Mac is the Audiomaster (the sources are greyed out)

Preferences -> Sources

N.Music: Music

N.Radio: Radio

I admit that I do not fully understand the way LP2 works - but I have my N.Music and N.Radio playlists in iTunes and iTunes is running (the latter not being necessary I think?).

The problem is that I do not get any sound from my Beolab 3200 and mostly it just briefly turns on and then a few seconds after, turns off again.

Plz help :-)

Best regards

Jan
