Thanks,

I am having a problem with the Timer function.  If I set the timer on our BV7-55to turn CD or TV on all works fine. If I set it to N. Music or N. Radio the display on the BV7-55 turns on and will say N. Music or N. Radio but no sound? Choosing N. Music or N. Radio with the Beo 5 works fine.

When is the next update for Linkplayer? The last one goes back to 5th August, and there are still some display issues on BeoCenter 2 for NRADIO, as well as playback issues (track sequence) with Linkmusic.

Did you report these via the support function? Philippe prefers that mechanism as he checks his emails more often than checking this thread

Yes, Chris has contacted me.

I am still working on it, but things are slower than I would like at the moment, as I do not have enough spare time.

I have been working on other projects (see signature) that took me longer than I thought, one of them free for all beoworlders. Anyway I am gonna have more time on LinkPlayer from now.

p.

I used to own a beomedia and even a beosound/master 5 but I sold both of them because I was not very amused having no gapless playback which is a must for me. After reading this thread I finally decided to go this way and bought myself a beoport and a used mac mini server (I installed a normal snow leopard). Having installed linkplayer not everything is as expected.

N.RADIO is playing through the beocenter 2 but when I would like to navigate N.MUSIC on the TV I don't get the linkplayer menu ( source PC is set to menu).

It must have something to do with my settings but I'll need some help to define where the problem is situated.

Main room:

Beovision 5 with beosystem 3

Beocenter 2

Mac Mini with Beoport (no IR eye connected) controlled via screen sharing on my Macbook Pro

Mac USB and analog out are connected to the Beoport, SPDIF on BS3 is not yet connected (waiting for a DACMagic to buy)

All connected with ML

LINK room

Beolab 3500, not yet connected

Questions

- Do I need a Beoport IR eye to distribute N.RADIO

- Do I need a Beoport IR eye to navigate e.g. frontrow (without sound because at the moment I didn't split the analog out on the mac) on the TV and listen to the choosen music on the beocenter 2 (TV should be off then) - how should I do this, with an AV or link function ?

- Which option setting do I need for my setup

- Can I play gapless this way, or is beoport causing a problem

- Linkplayer wakes up the mac but when putting the audio/video in standby it stays awake even after closing my remote connection

- Is there a chance linkplayer will be compatible with the new beo6 using Wifi.

Make my day and let me enjoy digital music after spending a lot of money on B&O's beoplayer boxes

Hi Beogen. Please follow the instructions on the

Hello Philippe,

I don't see my problem as a bug. I only need a good start in order to get it work. Setting my option and knowing if I need an IR eye should be a good starting point.

And to answer your questions:

You do not need it to listen to N.RADIO or N.MUSIC on your Beo System. You would only need it if you had an older TV.

You should be able to control LinkPlayer using the PC key on your Beo4 remote, as your TV/Beosystem is compatible.

LinkPlayer must be in Option 6. You need to tick "Respond to PC" via Masterlink, and then, while LinkPlayer is running, you need to configure your TV to respond to "PC".

"iTunes" source is Gapless

"LinkMusic" has more features, but isn't gapless.

Is LinkPlayer going to Standby as well. Also look into Mac preferences.

I doubt that the Beo6 protocol will be open. You can use LinkRemote on iPhone/iPod touch/iPad.
