New Software Edge/Shape/Core/BS1/BS2/A9 (mk3/4)

Switching radio stations on the Core through Beo4 and MasterLinked products (using a BLC) did not work a couple of times now. After changing the radio station in the app however, it does work as normal. I will see if this persists and if I can replicate and influence and let you know. I did restart the Core and deleted and rejoined both the Core and the BLC to no avail.

after 2.1.50867, the last selected local source is not played (if no source is playing in the link- room). – you can´t start the system with the beo4 join command without a running link-source.
This may be related to Classic UI" being disabled in app settings/Beolink.

"May"? be related?  What [else] does that setting do?

Could someone please actually test this with their ASE2 device, for example a BeoSound1(2gen), with a local source, for example a local UPnP/DLNA server playlist/queue?  It used to be that tapping the top would, if no other source was playing, beep once, then pick up where it left off in the previously-paused local source.
I'm used to "tap/press to join" with my older Beolink devices (BS 1, M5, M3, Core + Essence Remote), or, when no other source is playing, resuming a local source.

If the Classic mode is disabled, this no longer works (i tested it), a tap/press starts a local source instead and documentation says that a long press is required to join which not all device can do, e.g. BS 1.

Also, I'm used to uses long press where supported to shutdown all devices. Reason why I kept Classic mode enabled.

After the updates, I've found the following:
  1. My Beoplay A6 can again pair with a remote. It had lost that ability to pair for many months.
  2. A BLI macro firing a standby command on the Beosound 35 is acting really weird. Firing the macro puts the speaker into standby for just a moment and then automatically re-joins a playing source.
  3. The update caused the customized My Buttons on the Beoremote One to be lost and they need to be programmed again.
  4. The update caused some of the LIGHT commands on the Beoremote One to become hidden.

That does not sound too unsimilar. Could you try to switch station once using the app, and see if it then works with BR1?

Hi

another nice feature for the future (i.e. not top priority !) would be the availability to like a post
Switching radio stations on the Core through Beo4 and MasterLinked products (using a BLC) did not work a couple of times now. After changing the radio station in the app however, it does work as normal. I will see if this persists and if I can replicate and influence and let you know. I did restart the Core and deleted and rejoined both the Core and the BLC to no avail.
I found out that after a full system switch-off (in the app, or with a long press on the Beo4) the issue arises: when I then choose RADIO on the Beo4, the last chosen radio station plays, but I cannot use the Beo4 to choose another station. Only after I change radio station in the app once, I can use the Beo4 again for changing stations (I use TuneIn btw). I will see if I can report this to the software team. Is anyone else seeing this too?
After some friendly e-mail exchange I received this answer: We are pleased to inform you that yes it will be fixed in a future software update regarding the issue; the issue has been reported to the Product Development team, and they will provide a software update as soon as possible."
