I have played around with the new BS5/BM5 software using an android smartphone (HTC Desire). I have used different DNLA (UPnP) apps, such as: 2player,Andromote, BubbleUPnP. However, there is no sound out from my Beovision8-40. The apps all find BS5 / BM5 as source and target and activates the BS5, showing covers and also which song is played (after a short pause), also the BeoVision8-40 (which the BM5 is connected to) shos that the AUX source is active. The setup seems complete (audiomaster=yes etc).

Anyone got any idea what is wrong? (my setup: BS5, BM5 connected to BeoVision8-40, BL3 connected to BV8-40).

Seems like the A.Aux source is the problem,also (not sure if I have messed up something) Now I must turn on BV8-40, activating using PC command, then on BS5 select track etc in orde to get any sound. Previously I just needed to touch the BS5 and select any song/album etc and the sound come through.

So, I reply tomyself;-)

Found that my MasterLink was broken (only the sound part),otherwise the MasterLink worked (since I used it for my Linkroom tv (BV7-32).

I learnt that when pressing the Beo4 "PC, or AUX" activates the BeoMaster line-in/RCA for sound,were as when pressing N.Music/N.Radi/CD/Radio directly activates and sends sound using MasterLink.

Having my MasterLink fixed,now it works with a.aux. (a.aux in this case, using DLNA /UPnP) apps from smartphones to controll BS5/BM5, sends the sound from BeoMaster5 to the BV8-40 using MasterLink)
