I uninstalled Beoplayer with Revo Uninstaller and completely removed all registry entries.
Reinstalled Beoplayer and on N.radio no stations at all. (IntervalForCheckingUpdate got there by itself)
Added N.radio.reg and after 5 minutes(300sec) the radio stations come again. 1 per country.

Waited another 20 minutes but no more stations come up. (Also tried UpdateNotifier.exe)

 

Is there a way to add some radio stations of your own?

Where is the radio stations database and is it perhaps editable?

No simple way to edit as far as I know.

You could try navigating to: C:\Users\'User'\AppData\Roaming\BeoMediaDatabase\N.Radio

When I ran the .reg Registry update just now - at 2040hrs (on a fresh Beoplayer install) most of those files updated, and the Radiofile.DAT and Radiofile.IDX increase in size greatly.

If you open the Radiofile.DAT in notepad you will see the links to individual radio stations, but I am not sure how you would amend or add to them.

 

Sorry but I don't have anything else to suggest with regard to getting the extra radio stations to show!

However, I have now dug out my Beoport (Beolink PC2) and have tried setting it up with my PC (Windows 10 32-bit). I think that last time I had the Beoport working was about 2014 with my desktop running Windows 7.

I uninstalled Beoplayer, cleared the Registry entries and then re-installed Beoplayer. The installation notes say that you should wait until prompted to connect the USB cable from the Beoport to the PC. However, this prompt never happened, nor did the B&O Registration request that I remember from first setup. Consequently the computer does not seem to be recognising the Beoport, and the all-important 'Advanced' tab is missing from the Beoplayer CONFIG menu.

My first thought was a driver issue, but of course the PC won't even try to download a driver until the USB connection is made. I did find a Beoport PC2 driver online, but it made no difference.

My second thought was a Windows 10 compatibility issue, so I tried setup with an old Vista powered laptop. This didn't work either.

I suspect that there is supposed to be some sort of 'handshake' between the Beoplayer and a B&O 'Beoportal' that it no longer running, prior to connecting the Beoport. This could of course be related to the N.RADIO issue experienced by Beomaster11 above.

So does anyone have any expert knowledge about whether Beoport can be made to work in 2022?

(Please no comments about how it would be much better to use a more modern digital media system - I do have QNAP NAS and AirPort express for that - I am just trying to satisfy my curiosity!)

Guy,

At some time, you had to enable a sort of "accept non microsoft-signed drivers" function in Windows in order to have the Beo5/6 driver installed.

It's maybe the same problem with Beoport, unfortunately I don't remember how to do.

Just my 2 cents,

Yann.

Thanks Yann - I'll give that a go! (although I don't think it's actually getting to the driver installation phase, unless that is part of the Beoplayer install before the Beoport is connected, who knows??)

Tried again a few different options with/without driver pre-installed, and accepting non-signed.

I keep getting this message at the end of Beoplayer installation:

I do have internet connection (obviously!).

I read somewhere in the archived forum about a potential DNS conflict - if so is there any possible workaround?

Is there a APPLE MAC  equivalent please?
