Marvellous. thanks Thomas.

Seems to work fine with both my BV12-6 and Avant 55 Mk 1, but will report back any issues over the next few days.

The TV remote page(s) would now make much more sense as the Now Playing (expanded black bar) screen - for TV products.

For Music products, the existing Now Playing screen can remain the same as it currently is i guess.

Otherwise, thanks for the update.

Really grest news for the Eclipse!!!

@mrAndersen...Will ever Apple Music going to  work??

Hi everyone

We have a new beta for for you to try out. As you have perhaps already read, we are releasing BeoSound 1 + 2 with Google Voice to the market in the September. This release adds a new setup experience for the Google Voice Assistant products, where you are re-directed to the Google Home app to complete the setup. Furthermore we have ported most of the BeoRemote app into the Bang & Olufsen and you are now able to use the app as a full TV remote. This is supported by all the network link TVs, including the Eclipse. For the eclipse you will be able to use the app for pointer control as well. Note that you need a new TV software for this, this is rolling out this week. One thing to note is that iPad support didn't make the cut for this release and will come later. So sorry for all you iPad users, we have a design ready and will have it out as soon as possible. 

Things to note.

* No changes to the home view layout yet, we are still looking at how to user the extra screen space better as many of you pointed out

* The bug where you loose the personalized order of your products has not yet been found and fixed. We are struggling to reproduce it

Best regards

Thomas Andersen, Bang & Olufsen

 

Hi Thomas.

This is a great start for the TV remote part. I have made a short test and have the following observations:

• When selection a new TV source, the sourcelist (Kilde in Danish) does not contain the following sources:
  - Recordings (Optagelser)
  - Home Media (Mediecenter)
  - Webmedia
• I'm not able to store new contents in the user defined keys. The first 3 keys can recall what I have already stored on my BV11, and the 4th key is not active (maybe because BV11 only handles 3 user defined kays?)

I still have a few problems from previous versions of the beta which are still present in this version (1.9.9.14656):

• When my BV11/Core combo is selected, it's not possible to select TuneIn on the core via the "Radio" button on the Home Screen. If I use the TV control part, I can select TuneIn on the Core from the TV source list and it will start playing as expected.
• When I have selected TV-tuner, the TV icon flickers in the "Now playing" window. If Youtube is the selected TV source, there is no flicker in the "Now playing" window.
• When playing music from my DLNA-server on the BV11/Core combo, there is still problems with missing update of the Cover Art in the "Now playing" window.

Since I use my iPad for this, I see no big difference (yet).

Could someone with the iPhone version make a short desciption of what is possible (Dyssegaard already wrote what not).

A couple of screenshots would be nice too.

Just to know what the iPad users may expect, when time comes.

Nice, it would be perfect if it could come to NL-ML converter connected TVs... 👍

@Sanddyb

Sure, that is helpfull - thanks ;-)

I wonder how long it will take to get the iPad version going.
