I tried Twonkey and 8player. 8player has no covers displayed in the Free edition, and I don´t know if the pay version has?

Twonkey has poor quality covers when displayed on BS5, and seems like a poor designed interface with lack of options.

Any good experiences with good interface and high quality cover display on BS5?

This is realy nice, when some one makes a nice application with cover etc. I have been waiting for this!!!

 

Any one found 'the app' for BS5/BM5?

I have now read the posts regarding the update and am a little confused: I have downloaded plugplayer which wants an xml file - what is this, and twonky can't find beosound5, and imediacentral can't either, so is possible that one could write a short "tutorial for dummies" about how to set up your beosound5/beomaster5 with one of these new apps. By the way my Beo5 has stopped working - can't  get in contact with my beosound5 - can I reset the remote and how?

 

Thanks in advance

I did not have to put an XML file in and both Twonky and Plugplayer found my Beosound. Do you have the Beosound set to Audiomaster and Music Server ON?

Thank you for your answer. Now I have set to Beosound to Audiomaster, but how do I put Music Server on? In network info says: music server disabled, bonjour service not running. How do I enable??

Thanks a lot. It works with twonky, imedicontrol can't find a device. however it finds my synology diskstation, not my beomaster, so the music comes from the diskstation and is played through beomaster, is that correct? on the iphone display it say beomaster5 underneath the cover.

With Twonky I am able to 1.play the music on the Beomaster 5/Beosound 5 and control it with the Tonky app on iPhone or iPad, 2. Stream music from iPhone or iPad to the 5 and control it with the app, and 3. Stream music from the iPad to the 5 and control it with the iPhone.

How do you do that - the oly devices twonky can find are diskstation and eyeconnect. As I wrote in the other post I have now enabled audiomaster and music server. Have you altered anything else? As I am writing Twonky is now frozen...., but imediacontrol is working 8diskstation)

I am at work right now so I will tell you as best I can without having the Beosound in front of me.

In the Twonky App there are places to select both the server and the player. Once it finds the device you can select it. If the app is not finding the device, I am not sure why.

From the home screen select the book icon at the top left and that should give you a list of all detected devices. Click on the circle by the one you want and press set at the bottom right.

Then, you select music and at the bottom left there will be an icon, on mine a phone. Press it and it will give you a list of possible players to choose in the same manner.

As I am at work both lists show only the iPhone.
