Hi Stan

start BeoConnect and make a connection with the BS5/BM5.

go to Finder

make a connection with the BM5; if fails then make a connection as

BEOMASTER5\BM-USER  (note: your system can also be named "BEOMASTER 5"; you should look it up in the BS5)

your PASSWORD

succes

Hi Stan,

I finally managed to connect using Finder.

User ID in my case was BM-USER

Password as stored on the Beosound 5 (the same as used in BeoConnect)

Kind regards

Paul

BM5 can act now as a UPnP device. I can address the BM5 in XBMC/Plex on the iMac (unfortunately is WMA lossless in XBMC/Plex not supported, but Flac is as from now supported by the BS5/BM5). 

Note: for the BS5 only one Music server can be chosen.

The info from the update mentiones something about a "approved B&O server".

What's a approved B&O server? Sold by B&O? UPNP, SAMBA or NFS based?

Where can I find the preference "Server On"?

Haven't got  much time, but my BM5 did the update without any struggles, no errors, no messages. 

All UPnP servers seem to work. The same for NAS (B&o advises QNap) I use a Netgear ReadyNas.

Works fine

 "Server on":

Read the update in the FAQ (BS5 faq - site B&o) carefully. You have to go to the service menu's. This option is normally NOT shown

After turning the "music server" option "on", the "BeoMaster5" now shows up on the PS3 menu! Complete with tags, cover art, and navigation. In fact, it also includes "genre" for navigation - a feature that the BeoSound 5 sadly lacks. I'm eager to see if this shows up on network-connected blu-ray players as well.

Can you play WMA Losless files via PS3 or is that impossible?


Hope somebody get's the Beo 6 to work fine with the Beosound 5, too - than I'm gonna buy the Beo 6 :)

Beo 6  work fine with the Beosound 5 !

The PS3 would not play the WMA Lossless files.

Does the Beo6 have 2-way communication with the BeoSound 5 yet or does it still only function like the Beo5?

the last; the wifi app will be introduced in the spring

I'm a little lost here....has Beo5 changed name to Beo6? Is Beo6 launched?

I run BS5/BM5 with new software and use BeoConnect with my iMac to download all music. Now the question is....can BS5 recognize my Itunes library and display it right away through the network so I don't have to have double copies of the music? Please let me know how to set this up if anyone knows!
