Beoport/Beoplayer

63 replies
Hello,

I have a pc, and prepare a NAS for media, linked on the internet-local-network with the BS5-BM5. And root everything through the ML network to other BO-devices in the house.

Someone can tell me of one of these sofwares, Beoplayer, and Beoport can still be used on PC-W10? (I also have still a Beolink-PC2 if still useful .. to link on the ML network directly).

I have the impression, those softwares doesn't scan all ripped CDs. Tehy are in st same folder, but can't be seen on the Beoplayer interface. Scanning doesn't help.

So I uninstalled it, then installed Beoconnect, and wiht MS-Media Player is see all of them, but the interface not really BO ... And I can see the contents of the BM5 without logging on to it!

I liked the remote design of Beoplayer, so is there some other "sexy -BO" solution to use on pc?
Beoplayer runs fine on my 32-bit Win10 PC, although I haven't actually connected the Beoport/PC2 for a while for a fuller check.

What file types are your ripped CDs?  Beoplayer won't find flac files - I think it may be limited to mp3s (and possibly wav) only. Some of my previous Beoport/PC2 experiments/investigations are within the following threads: link

Hello,

Beoplayer works on W10 in compatability mode.

I'm not sure that Beolink PC2 driver can be installed on W10.

Anyway it's now a bit useless, apart if you with to listen to your B&O sources on your PC.

I never had a problem with ripped CDs.

Are you sure that your ripping parameters are OK as Beoplayer does not read all formats?

Kind regards,

Yann.

This thread reminded me that I still have Beoplayer installed on my PC - not connected to anything else B&O (apart from the A2 Active that I use as a speaker for my desktop).

Playing music on it now! (from my QNAP NAS)

Hi,

Beoplayer works fine on a Windows 10 64 bits PC.

The installed version is 5.04.

Further to the above, have a look at this thread and maybe try the Registry Editor solution (gerard's 5 Feb 19 post):  /forum/imported-unmapped/beoport-can-not-register-and-connect-as-consequence-to-net-radio

I must have used it at some point, because I had stored the .reg file on my computer for future use.

How do you guys install Beoplayer 5.04?
I am using windows 10 pro 64.
With me it shows at registration (picture)when I made a selection:
-Beomaster 5
-Beomedia 1
-None

Now N.Radio does not work.
Who knows what causes this?

regards, Roland
I get those messages too, but I don't have an actual Beoport/PC2 connected to my PC at the moment.  N.RADIO works for me, but there are only a limited number of stations - one per country (but they play fine, so it must be connected to the internet).

From distant memory I think that if you install Beoplayer with a Beoport/PC2 and connect the cables at the specified time in the installation process, the software automatically asks you to 'Register' the SW online (with B&O?)  This will then get rid of the 'Internet Connection Not Available' message and also allow N.RADIO to download a greater number of stations.

It might not be possible to Register the SW with B&O any more - I am not sure.  I haven't used it properly since about 2014.
