Okay, here is a solution.
First of all it´s right that BM5 is only for playing n.music, n.radio, photo and web. But B&O also say that it can play video and only very few formats.
So go to the service mode, visit divx.com and install the free divx codec. And don´t install anything else.
Then you install the free video converter Handbrake from this site

Transfer the video files to the photo folder in the BM5 and play the video files on your tv.

Another tip is that you can stream movies from the internet, try cdon.com. So now you kan rent movies from the internet.

Thanks for that, but why aren't our videos showing up in the Photos section? Andy ideas

Did you install divx codec?
What kind of files did you transfer to the photo folder?

Thanks mite for replying. Downloaded from this link;

Installed from here;

You guys may need to watch the temperature of the BM5 when watching HD content.

This happens actually on my macbook air - it shuts pretty much down when this happens to avoid damage until it cooled off.

Not sure if BM5 has any sort of thermal management, it may not be a problem I would just recommend to touch that thing after watching HD for a bit.

You can´t use video ts. I use handbrake to converte the videofiles to avi files...it works every time.

Look at the reply from JK1002 about the temperature on the processor.

I have just installed DIVX7 and can now play AVI movies. However, I have decided to go to a Tvix M6600 instead and use this as the (movie) media streamer, for which it is meant. It plays almost everything in every format.
The BM5 will then work as my audiomaster, which also makes sense now for me now.
The kids can see movies in the living room from the Tvix, while we listen to N.MUSIC or N.RADIO in the kitchen from BM5.
My system keeps on developing.....

Hope you will have new information! 🙂
