Hello Jim,

what exactly do you do to enable MOTS?

If there is a song you like then you have to press and hold GO for about 3 seconds. The menu on the right side of the screen will change and

ADD TO LIST will be displayed. Just release the GO button and switch down to LIST on the left side. Here you go, the MOTS list should be there.

Remember to give BeoSound 5 some time to analyze new songs. It takes approx. 10 seconds per song.

Regards

I have tried that - still no luck. It plays the one song and then stops...

Does it do this with every song, or just a few?  I have a few songs that must not have anything similar (or maybe they are too long - I did see an error message when poking around on the BM5 that a song or two was too long for MOTS analysis - these were ~20 minute classical pieces).

Also, if you load 100s of songs, it may take a day or two to analyze them all.

MOTS is rather slow. Deprending the number of titles you have, it can take several days to analyze your library and then come up with a list of songs which follow the one you've choosen.

Have waited for over a 10 days now and  having the same problem plays one track then stops???

It seems that MOTS is not switced on.

Admittedly I have thousands of tracks including many many classical.

Have even been in contact with Struer and they don't have an answer yet, it is getting frustrating.......................

Other than that it is great!

Hi,

I have since a week a beosound 5 and loaded it up with 40.000 songs ....
I've seen the mots function is working slow in the background. As soon as you touch the wheel it stops motsing because beomaster  needs the performance for the display and playing songs. It can take more than half a day before it starts again motsing.
I looked also in the log files and saw some error messages like , song to long or even to short, so this means it will not mots everything. I've seen the mots service started to mots the artists starting with the letter A, maybe you can try to select one of those
The best is to leave the system for a couple of days, maybe  a couple of weeks alone without touching it ... so it can mots the whole library.

How can you tell when MOTS is running, and when it is not?

I have large problems getting mine to work as well. Have had the unit for a couple of weeks, and still it is only quite few songs that activates a MOTS playlist.

The way I see it, MOTS dosnt run too fast when the unit is playing. On the other hand, when there is no music, MOTS only have some 20 mins or so to funtion, before the BeoMaster 5 goes into power save mode. Is this only an issue with my box?

I had some 100 Gigs of songs on mine, now I have removed about half, and will try to see if I have any luck in making the box indexing those.

MOTS is what is cool about this unit compared to other stuff on the market, so it better bloody work! :-)

40,000!!!!!!!!

Now that is a collection! I thought I was doing well with 33,000! 😂

There was supposed to be an update with a MOTS progression indicator. I haven't seen anything so far and still don't have any clue why sometimes new songs get integrated by MOTS 5 min after transfer to the BM5, and sometimes take 10 days!
