I will buy just an adapter plug. Don’t need the whole cable.
I keep you updated. ??

Unfortunately I don't know anything about parallels.

Take a look here to install the Beo6 driver manually in windows (VM the same hopfully).

/forum/beo5-and-beo6/beo56-driver

That may help, otherwise try Oracle Virtual Box for free. That is running on my PC now. I have connected my Beo6 and it works fine.

Unfortunately I don’t get the configuration tool to recognize the Beo 6. ?
what am I missing?

You need to make sure the USB settings in the virtual machine (VM) are set up correctly to "feed through".

Which VM are you using?

I use parallels. And when I plug the usb in the

computer ask if I want to connect beo 6 to the Mac or windows. I choose obviously windows. So it seems to be set up correctly. ??‍♂️

Unfortunately Oracle virtual box does not run on Mac with apple chip, only intel. ?

I will charge the Beo 6 overnight as I read a fully charged battery is important. If that doesn’t work I try your advice with installing the driver manually.
Thank you Stoobie!

I have my doubts you will be able making it work on a M1/2 Mac.

You have to use a x86 windows host. I guess there is no Beo6 driver for Windows on arm (the one that you install with parallels). So either give it a try with a x86 emulator and a x86 client install (painfully slow) or a dedicated windows machine.

@ Stoobie : unfortunately Oracle does not offer this developer preview for Apple M1/M2 for download anymore. They have removed it from their download page. Probably wasn’t really working. ?

 

@B3OHACK3R : I guess you are right. I am trying to emulate Windows with UTM on my M1 Mac, but so far I haven’t succeeded to install windows properly. ?

this beo 6 remote is about to frustrate me ?
