I have been away from the forum for several days

(sorry, but Christmas is always a busy time with a herd of elephants)

None the less I have been testing/using LinkPlayer 0.7 every day - mostly in the new full screen Menu mode

I am now confident enough that I have been demonstrating it to visitors and letting the family use it

I have integrated PLEX and eyeTV with it, and I am in the process of organising the herd's Movie and TV collections so they can be accessed via LinkPlayer and PLEX

I agree......it works wonderfully.  The former software for use with Apples is totally obsolete now.

😁 My hats of to phil as he is a genius, the software works perfectly and the voice over the named song is great when people wonder what track is playing.  Currently using 0.7 and i have to say its great.  No problems so far but i am still waiting for my IR control to fit to my beoport so i can try the various other features that Phil has placed in it such as Plex and Eye TV.

I have a query though as my firmware in my beoport is the original and it will not update.  Will this affect the trial??  I believe its 1.16.

Thanks again Phil🙂

Thanks for the new thread and encouragement.

Make sure you get the special one for the Beoport which is slightly different from the one that connects to the Beolink Active.

The full screen mode can also be used with an Apple Remote.

I am not sure what were the new features of the firmware, but if all is working fine for you, you should not worry.

I'll still be working on LinkPlayer during the holiday, but I'm going to take it easy. There is still a few features and refinements I'd like to add to it before the final release.

you deserve a GREAT Christmas

you have given all of us testers a great toy to play with, and everyone else great hopes for 2010

Hello everyone!   I too am testing Linkplayer and agree its a great program and exactly what I was looking for.  It's working great for me but I still cant get the artist/song title on my BS9000.  Im running a mac mini with snow leopard and the beoport is linked to the 9000.  I've checked and unchecked the 8, 12 and more display boxes to no avail.  I will sometimes get the track number info but that has been it.  I'm using a brand new masterlink cable....could it be faulty?  Is it my
Beosound?  Any help would be appreciated.

Chris, same thing on my BS9000 here: When I switch from one song to the next, the song title is being displayed for about 3 secs, then is replaced by N.MUSIC again.

I have never invested a thought about this because BM-Link behaves exactly the same way.

Have you checked on the firmware your BS9000 has? You may want to verify following this link.

Guys,

Please make sure you raise any issue with me by following this procedure:

If when I release a new version, the bug you have raised is still present, do not hesitate to raise it again.

The BS9000 should work with the 12 characters display setting. Let me know if it doesn't.

Thanks,

Thanks, Philippe.  I will do that when I get home.  To answer your question Stefan,  I am pretty sure I have the Mark III because of the pin security.  With Beoplayer I got the artist info for a couple of seconds but with Linkplayer or BmLink i dont.
