As a test I just re-installed Beoplayer on my PC.  I got the same 'Internet Connection Not Available' messages again (but again I don't have the Beoport/PC2 hardware attached).  Once installed it took a few minutes for some N.RADIO stations to appear - one per country as before, as shown below on the left, with Denmark's DR P3 playing:

Thank you for your response.

Indeed only 1 radio station. I was going to use this with a BM1 that I dug out again for n.radio. The registry file is not working. Have pinged the "https://nradio.beoplayer.com/nradiodata.asp" and no connection.

How does this actually work with a BM5?

How does this actually work with a BM5?

Not sure - I have only ever used with just Beoport/PC2. After I ran the Registry editor I left it running for a while, and experimented further today. Suddenly many other Radio stations appeared - over a thousand in UK alone! If you look at the registry entries (see below - click to enlarge), there are two items of interest: There is an 'IntervalForCheckingUpdates' - I think the 300 value may be 300 minutes?  Also it shows 'Last Update' being 2021-11-15, which may be the last time the radio dB was updated on the server, now downloaded to my Beoplayer. I'd be interested to know what your registry states both now and after waiting a while. Login to view image

'IntervalForCheckingUpdates' I don't have.
After leaving Beoplayer on overnight, nothing changed in the registry.(picture)

It seems that 'Last Update' being 2021-11-15 was the last update from the B&O server.

Also, if you look at the post by Elephant in this thread: /forum/deutsche/beolab-2500-oder-beolab-4#post-1695933

... it indicates that registration of hardware is required in order to 'unlock' more stations.  Perhaps my desktop remembers that I have registered hardware in the past (buried in the registry somewhere!).

Can you confirm that there is still only one radio station per country shown?

As an experiment I just re-installed Beoplayer (including a registry clean up after the uninstall).

On initial re-installation there are no radio stations showing.  The registry entry 'LastUpdate' is blank and there is no 'UserID' nor 'Server URL'.

When I ran that Registry Editor file it added the 'UserID' and 'Server ID', but the 'LastUpdate' value was still blank.

A few minutes later all the (>1000) radio station started to appear, and on checking the Registry the 'LastUpdate' field was again showing '2021-11-15'.

You could try manually adding an 'IntervalForCheckingUpdate'.  Right click in the registry and  chose 'New' D WORD (32-bit) value.  Just name it 'IntervalForCheckingUpdates' and copy my Hex value of '12c'.

(It goes without saying that you are editing your Registry at your own risk.  I always carry out Registry backups before playing around!)

EDIT:  I am pretty sure that the 'IntervalForCheckingUpdates' of 12c (300) corresponds to 300 seconds, hence it should check for updates every 5 minutes.

 

 

To add to the above, there is something else you can try.

Navigate to C:\Program Files\Bang & Olufsen\BeoPlayer and look for a file called UpdateNotifier.exe

Double click to run a database update, whereupon you get this message:

And see if any more radio stations have appeared.

Tried this too and waited 15 minutes, no difference.

Sorry but I have run out of ideas!

Have you also connected any B&O hardware (Beoport?) - previous threads have said that this will initiate the increase in Radio stations visible.

I will experiment with Beoport/PC2 connected in the next few days - just for my own interest.  Will leave feedback here.
