Can it be that it is not possible to reassign the keys under digits? I can't right click on them in the B&o software

beo4me:

After the installation on two pieces of software, it is a matter of minutes. Very easy and well documented.

Thank you

However I don't see how in the help file for the xml generator? I'm trying to sort everything out before going ahead with the xml software.

Besides the xml generator what software do I need?

 

In the help file, there is a link to the Lintronic software (on the intro page about half way down). The steps are explained in the help page called "Capturing Infra-Red Remote Codes". You can also see a screenshot of the Lintronic software in there.

Not sure what you are trying to achieve, but the digit key can not be changed. When you are creating a configuration, you have to first create zones, then you have to add products. After that you can edit/add buttons.

I would simply like to use the already coded digits in stead of having something that I can neither change or use. Do you understand?

To clarify my previous answer about being able to control the 3rd party product volume with the centre wheel, the simple answer is you CAN, however it is NOT possible to do it with the Beo5 Configuration Tool using RC5 protocol without getting the problems you have discribed. You need the new 1.40a firmware and currently the associated XML file needs to be setup manually.

I have set this one manually and it works fine and in future versions of the Beo5 3rd Party XML Generator you will have the option to set it up as well.

In the next few days we will be bring out a new version of the Beo5 3rd Party XML Generator which will correctly create XML files for both the previous version 1.34a and the new version of firmware 1.40a

I have noticed that my Beo5 will not turn off the backlight when the last command has been to use the wheel..... ? Anyone else with this problem?

 Further, is the beo 2.2 software available anywhere and is there any improvements with the new software/firmware ?
