Do you know what setting that is?  When I use the app to control my Beosound 2, go to Radio and select the B&O Radio tab, and then a B&O Radio station I get:

Action not supported by the selected product.

 

Sorry, Mark.  I mis-remembered.

This morning there was a beta app update….which I did install.

It showed me the introduction to the ‘new ui’ and also offered the option of converting from TuneIn to B&O Radio….which then would give you the stations as you are used to - see picture. Meaning an update for all capable devices.
Obviously it was/is a general conversion for all devices - not per device.

I did as described - which was rather easy.

Unfortunately this conversion was not complete, only some of my previous TuneIn stations were available in the new B&O Radio part - and also pretty randomized.
As you can see in this picture

Of course I have immidiately made a feedback via the app and am now waiting for answers.

I post this, if someone else (also beta testing) should want to try this out.
!!!Maybe you should wait a sec!!!

The TuneIn station list is still visible in the app. However, the stations are not accesable, since all has defaulted to B&O Radio.

Of course I will post as soon as I hear from the app team.

I guess a workaround would be to add the missing stations….but that can not be a solution for everyone.

With the latest B&O app, feeding B&O favorite radio stations with TuneIn favorites was somehow ok, even if I had to match some manually, BUT, the sort order is reversed in B&O radios following this process, which impacts the way I navigate into the radio list from my Essence Remote. I'll have to build the B&O list manually to match the TuneIn sort order.

They really need to improve the radio search and give the opportunity to reorder the list.

The "search radio" dialog box has been added (back?) in today's beta.

I'm very looking forward to get radios reordering capability within B&O app, this is a regression coming from TuneIn where radios could be reordered from the TuneIn UI.

Can custom URLs be entered in B&O Radio?

I have a few stations that I can't listen to directly from TuneIn or B&O Radio.  For example, KNKX 88.5FM Seattle-Tacoma does not play correctly on any of my devices - something about their encoding upsets the equipment.  I set up a  Raspberry Pi to receive the official stream and re-stream it in a format that the B&O equipment can play. In TuneIn I was able to set a custom URL to the Raspberry Pi stream so I can listen to my favorite station.  But this requires the ability to set a custom URL, which wasn't in the B&O Radio last time I looked.  Has this been fixed yet?.

When I made the request to B&O I included the URL's to the stations and other information I could get about location and web site information.  I assume that B&O will have to contact them to find out if it is ok for them to include their channel in B&O radio.

Before my channels were on B&O Radio, I listened to them on TuneIn which was fine because all of my B&O at the time had TuneIn.  There were a times when I would turn on the station and here a message that the radio station couldn't be streamed to my area.  It turns out there was a dispute between record labels and the station that had to be sorted out, which somehow included my country.  Things were worked out and everything has been fine for a long time, but be mindful that B&O will have to consider rights issues that affect countries differently.
