I have the same behavior on my H5 and I link it to the latest headset firmware update. I have a ticket opened with Beocare who was able to recreate the issue but they didn’t engage themselves in any plan for resolution, just a comment that it works for other products ....

Hi guys

Sorry for the long silence. I will try to answer your questions here let me know if I missed any

@Dyssegaard: Beolit 12 is categorized the same as a Playmaker or A9 MKI since it uses hotspot setup. It confused some users in the app, that a wifi product couldn't do BeoLink. We removed it to avoid confusion.  

@Dyssegaard: Regarding the release notes, you are absolutely right. I will be more detailed going forward. We have not had time for the integrated setup issues for a while. We will investigate this month. 

@John: We are looking into adding speaker groups and stand control to the remote features. Not sure about the sounds modes though, I will investigate. 

@Wetzoli: This doesn't sound like an app issue but an issue with the H8, I will report this one. Regarding the settings not being saved we have a bug on this already and we are looking into it.

Thanks

Thomas

Normal 0 21 false false false DE X-NONE X-NONE I unfortunately need to confirm the same problems also with the latest non beta release: - I think it's after I installed IOS 12 - since this, my H8 crashes if I open the B&O app and change any sound settings while not playing any Music (H8 is only connected via BT). Sounds curious, but if I try to change any settings for the H8 while playing music, everthing went fine. Need to pull the battery out of the H8 to reset these and get them back to work...otherwise they are completely unresponsive 😒 Latest firmware already installed - my hope was, that this new beta app version will fix that issue, but it‘s still there. - since IOS 12 sound settings are not saved. Power off the H8 will reset any sound settings which are previously set by the app back to default. So setup the sound control to ‚clear‘, it‘s applied to the H8, but powering the headphone off and on, the H8 sounds different...opening the app shows that my H8 is working without any sound setup. I think this is since IOS 12...not sure, but I never noticed such issues any time before. Appreciate your help!

I can confirm that I have all the same issues with my H8 on the latest version of the app (2.1.0.16291). The problems may also have been present in earlier versions, because I didn’t try to change settings when not playing, before I saw your description today.

Hi Thomas,

I was wondering if the feature 'next cd' for the combination Beolink Converter NL/ML convert and Beosysteem 9000 can be build into the app? I know it was working via the BeoRemote app(Which is not there anymore); but to go to the next CD with the 'Bang & Olufsen' app i need to tap 'next song' a few to continue. For example a double tap on the next button?

Is it correct that this is only a software change within the app? Or does this require a complete change on the converter? 

Please let me now if this would be technically possible? Or not? I really enjoy the pearl of a Beosysteem 9000. But this is the only missing big feature. 

Best Regards,

Tijl

It would be great to have more remote functions for the televisions. IE sleep and menu

Otherwise I still enjoy using the app!
New version software

Not knowing what the new feature meant I just pressed |> to play whatever

I think I have new info “Bluetooth”

But I can’t find which device is serving up these tracks (yes they are mine)

Any ideas ?
