LinkPlayer is getting more and more interesting :-)

Just a quick note to tell you where we are with LinkRemote 1.1 (for iPad and iPhone)

I submitted LinkRemote 1.1 to Apple a couple of weeks ago, but it was 3 days ago as I had chosen a wrong compilation setting.

I have resubmitted the App this evening and hopefully it will be approved soon. Usually it takes 7 days.

Did not have an iPad as I was developing on a simulator. But got mine today, and that thing is superb, and LinkRemote is awesome on it ;-)

There!

Now I am fresh out of excuses to get an iPad...  🙂

That's it!

I just installed LinkRemote on my iPad and as usual it is wonderful. Have said this before, but I can not imagine how much work it took and many thanks for all that work.

How about a photograph of it in action!

I absolutely agree on both counts: the effort and innovation, and the sincere thanks!

I am reading through this string, and I'm thinking Wow this looks really cool.

Before I dust off my old Beoport (which I gave up on years ago), I wonder if I could ask a few questions, I would be mainly interested in using linkplayer as a way of controlling my Mac, playing programs like Plex controlling from my I phone screen to my BV4/Beosystem 3, getting it to network would be a bonus.

When I looked at the installation instructions the connection from the audio out uses the jack socket, which I currently use for my TOSlink connection, into my Beosystem 3 to get the Dolby 5.1

I guess its not surprising it uses an analgue out given the ML is analogue, but is there any way I can hook this up purely to get an Iphone to Mac to B&O connection as a single room solution

I realise I could achieve similar things with the MLGW but frankly I really could not justify the £1800 and would prefer to buy a new Mini Mac with HDML.

Any help would be appreciated, this work is so close to the ideal solution,  I can taste it. 

Fantasizing somewhat using the 802.11n link on the mac to distribute information to other B&O systems/TVs could finally be an upgrade for the antiquated Masterlink system which was great in its day but is now way past its sell by date

Pete,

You need to split the audio signal to go for one part to the TV, for the other part to the Beoport.

The sound that goes to the TV is used when you call the full screen interface, when you call it using the PC key.

The sound that goes to the Beoport is used to distribute N.MUSIC and N.RADIO.

If you do not need N.MUSIC, N.RADIO distribution, you can keep you connection as is.

As you do have a Beoport, you can use LinkPlayer in evaluation mode to test it.

If you want to distribute N.MUSIC, N.RADIO, you can use a DAC (

I have similar fantasies

We could get there today with several distributed Apple TVs

But I am hoping the rumoured remake of the ATV will give us even better options

I have been using Linkplayer on my iPad and have noticed something I very much appreciate. With the old BM Link if the iMac was sleeping I could not wake it up without going to the room the iMac is in. Linkplayer wakes up the iMac. This is a very much appreciated feature.
