Hello Phil

A big thank you also from me ...

I am using LinkPlayer to feed music from my Mac XServe Media Server (via a Cambridge DAC Maginc) to the BS9000, and I am very happy. However, I only use it to serve N.MUSIC and N.RADIO, and I may not be the best of testers, as I am less interested in the local functions, given the server is in the basement of the house.

The only thing I could nag are two features of usability:
1) It would be swell if we could configure Linkplayer on which sources he should present to the user - and which not. For example I have no use for the functions A.MEM and A.AUX, so why offer them as a choice?
2) Given the transparent background of the remote, the red dot display seems hardly readable to me (see screenshot below). It is acceptable however if one uses white dot colour.

May I propose you open a new discussion thread to discuss your work? I (happily) think, that the topic has gone way beyond "Snow Leopard - Update: BM-Link not 100% compatible. Don't upgrade yet!"

Best regards
Stefan

Hi and thanks,

Quick reply regarding the display. In 0.7, go to LinkPlayer > Preferences > Display, change the Font to a Bolder version. I have noticed that this font displays very differently depending of the type of monitor, so I have offered a choice of font.

Hi all

I also think Phil's great work deserves another tread. This one have gone "on the sideways". I have finally read all posts in this tread, and I must say in the beginning of this tread, I was very surprised over some people giving the company in Denmark, the blame for not updating a software they didnt support in the first place and have not been a part of developing. I am 100% sure that the company dont have the source code for the splended SW BM-Link by Odlund and therefore they have no chance of updating this. I know that for fact because I received a mail years ago from an "insider" regarding previous SW updates. I used the BM-Link from the very first time it came out and where very happy using this. And also over the years. When I upgraded to SL and experienced the same trouble as you have. And emailed B&O and got the message you already know. I thought well this was maybe it? Just like so many other softwares releases, you cant expect that all your very old software to be supported in a lifetime. And especially in this case where a 3rd party company/person have developed the software. So i would stop whining about it and get on with my life. The solution I have made is: I have bought a cheap ePC (very low in power comsumption), installed Beoplayer, connected it to the local network together with my NAS drive, registered the Beoplayer and I have now over 10000 radiostations ( I believe) and all my music on the tip of my finger. One of the good thing is, I have always access to all netradiostations and all my music just by operating the Beo4, rightaway I come in the house, my MAC even dont have to be turned on. Installed some freeware remote assistant as well, in case of managing favorites, playlist etc. And put it away together with the NAS.. And I must say "Now the Beoport have the kingsplace in my home". Almost forgot the other products I have. Just my holliday greetings to all of you

Au contraire, the company in Denmark is 100% to blame.  I only purchased a BeoPort after BM Link became a downloadable from bang-olufsen.com, i.e., I would never have have purchased a BeoPort if it did not offer integration with Apple products.

I respect other's decision to purchase Windows-based software as a patch for BeoPort integration but I just don't want to deal another platform with a steep learning curve, viruses, antiviruses, etc.

Fortunately, LinkPlayer is proving to be a very stable and easy-to-use solution so life goes on!

And yet another one...

Hi, how can I get/purchase this software?  I have a mac mini/beoport and BS9000.  This sounds awesome!

The author of it has been doing Beta testing and emailing it to those who wanted it.

Friends,

I took the liberty of opening a

Hi Philippe,  how do we get to participate in your beta test program.  I have a whole range of B&O and Apple kit and also use EyeTV.  I am retired but my background is in software development.  I would be happy to help you with your structured testing.

The app looks great.

Keep up the good work.
