I am sure I am showing my ignorance, but really cannot find the new LinkRemote app. When I type linkremote in the search bar in iTunes the old version June 25th, 2010 pops up.

Thanks.

So LinkPlayer and LinkPlayer 2 are the "servers" if you like that run on our Apples and replace B&O's BeoPlayer.

LinkRemote is the remote which has not been upgraded ... not sure if it even works with LinkPlayer 2 !

Just tested LinkRemote with my copy of LinkPlayer 2 and it does work - quite nicely too.

hello,

as you may have seen in other posts, i recently lost n.music following the purchase of a bv7. a true case of good news, bad news :p

i have managed to get linkplayer 1 to work on all devices except my bv7 :( philippe suggested i check out lp2. unfortunately, i'm having no luck getting it to run.

here is my system :

• bv7-40 mkv (videomaster)
• bc6-23 (option 6)
• bc1 (option 6)
• bl3500
• beoport + lp2 (audiomaster)
  
• mac mini (early 2009). connected to beoport by audio jack. connected to bv7 by displayport->hdmi. not in puc, no ir cable.
  

i set lp2 up as follows :

• beoport = connected to masterlink. green indicator.
• ir receiver = none. inactive light.
• audiomaster = this mac is audiomaster. inactive light.
• videomaster = mac is connected to tv. with responds to n.music and n.radio. inactive light.
• linkremote = responds. green light.
• apple remote = not responds. inactive light.
• sources = n.music:music n.radio:radio

when i try to access n.music from my bc6 i got no reaction of any kind. am i missing something ? should i configure as if the mac is not connected to bv7, is this what no videomaster means ?

any and all help appreciated. additional thanks to phil and elephant for helping me get this far.

 I, too, just tried to buy the app ($2 here Stateside) but after one clicks to purchase, there is a notification that the app is being modified and that one should try again later.

We've had a bit of a drama with the App, as somehow a problem of the App store prevented the app from being purchased all around the word! It is really a shame as it has been prominently featured by apple since Saturday, but nobody could buy it!

Here in the UK the app is purchasable again. I'd be interested to know if it is now purchasable in other countries.

App donwloaded and playing on iPhone 4S loud and clear.

I like the Beethoven in the 1st scene.

You know, as developer, you are entitled to contact the Apple Store and make your case that you were denied over your launch weekend and that your high profile should be extended a further week.

Will post review on App Store after I review the app.

Cheerio,

hello again,

reply to self.... i got things working by chossing the "no videomaster" option. :)

this is rather counter-intuitive as i do have a videomaster and i am connected to it. maybe this options means 'not controlled by video master'.

Hi Phil,

Great to see that you are back.  My grandchildren are now enjoying "The Emperor"..... nice job!

I use the 2nd audio out socket (the one on the back of the beoport, it usually has a sticker covering the output) to connect to a Cyrus audio system in our kitchen.  This facility is really useful as this 2nd audio output carries whatever is the current masterlink source and once activated is not dependant upon having the Mac powered up.  I only use this facility when my Mac is sleeping but I wish to listen to a master link source - my BS9000 for example which is located in another room.

Looking forward to the next beta.

Hi Phil

I had no chance that LP2 is running well on my system. I'm still use LP1.0 in Option 4.
My Ausiomaster is a Beocenter 2 with Beolab 5 and several Linkrooms with Beolab 3500.

I had problems with overlapping sound (iTunes was OFF) and the Display on the Beocenter wrotes only N-Music, but no Metadata informations. LP1.0 is still running stable, but not able to handle to two ore more LinkRemotes!

Will try the next Beta.
