BS 5 software update

70 replies

Did the BS5 update last night but looking on the extended settings display, nothing seemed to have changed numerically.

Connected my BP loaded PC and upgrade happened within seconds automatically.

Asked whether I wanted to connect BP to BM5 or BM1. Rebooted.

No big differences seen on my machine overall.

Mine was updated as follows

BS5/BM5 Application from 4.00.00.0787 to 4.00.0953,

BS5 Main Firmware from 1.2a to 1.30a

BeoPlayer from  5.0.00.498 to 5.00.01.0613

I don't know if this was what you where looking for

Hi

Does any of you know when the following features will be implemented in BM5?
-Quick rewind/fast-forward in tracks via N.MUSIC
-Access to content stored on other units, for example NAS-drives, servers, USB-HDD, etc.
-Video Shifting -- Navigation via Linkroom TV

What I really miss is the navigation from a Link Room TV.
There must be a list of prioritised BM5 task in the B&O Development department.

There was at some point shortly after introduction a list posted here.

I miss gapless playing with AAC or Apple loss less - Apple loss less format support overall.

When I received my new TV yesterday I was told that there will come a software update to BM5 i December.
Does anyone know what the software update will contain?

And I wonder why B&O inform so little about software updates and their future plans, I guess that the dealers would like B&O to be more open and use the net much more.

Just talked to my dealer.  B&O hope for the next BM5 update to take place in week 4 (no year mentioned though). This should be a major update.
It better must be  Mjor update with such a long waiting time.............😎

God, I hope so!

Smaller (think "almost as small as a Fit-PC2i"), and while they're at it, please include "screen feedback" from the remote to the BS5 and a headphone plug (a minijack would suffice) in the BS5 as well.

 

Edit:

I forgot: Please have support for 192khz/24bit to match the BL5s DACs

This would be a software update for the ages!  😁

Hehe, true.

Except for the minijack and the size reduction, the rest is merely software.

Hi,

Latest software update is available today.

I installed it and a new exciting feature is described: Now it is possible to have the contents of BM5 to be displayed on the linkroom tv.

I contacted my dealer but they don't know how to activate that feature.

Does anybody know how?
