Hi all

 

Sorry for the long silence, but we have busy over the summer refreshing the UI of the app for version 2.7. We have brushed up all the main areas with few exceptions. Use link to join beta: https://testflight.apple.com/join/Zre8WT18

 

Redesigns 

 

  • New homeview design
  • New control view design
  • New listening mode design
  • New setup flow design
  • Less intrusive loading animations
  • New artist and album pages
  • Changed all the sliders to the new design
  • Easier wi-fi setup

 

Changes and bugs

 

  • Playing from an album or a playlist now clears the queue and adds the rest
  • The user can change build-in ToneTouch listening mode
  • It is easier to reset the listening mode to default
  • Added four more languages, Japanese, Korean, Portuguese and Norwegian
  • Battery indicator for BT products only shows 10 steps
  • Volume control for BT products no longer jumps

 

Not done yet put on it’s way

 

  • Redesign of multiroom screen
  • Text input for Eclipse
  • Meta data errors for integrated setups

Looks very nice!

Please give the nl/ml a bit more TLC:

- picture change to connected beosound 3000 (or others)

- icon change similar to picture change

- better multiroom join and sound level control

- acces to setup menu as there is no app for this anymore

Only then the original promise for multiroom to include the older design iconics is valid again. Now it looks silly and misses functionalities.

Thanks

Good work!

Think the smaller product tiles on the homeview makes sense.

What do you refer to when you say "new listening mode design" and "new control view design"?

I cannot see that "Tone Touch" is working.

I agree with Fantastic. The NL/ML Converter needs some attention.

I found a very odd bug: when an NL/ML Converter is assigned to a device as a secondary NL connected product for sources, the CD source cannot be accessed by either the app or by a BeoRemote One BT -- even though the box is ticked in the app for CD to be included in the local sources. However, the CD source CAN be accessed if an NL/ML Converter is assigned as the primary NL connected device.

Also, primary and secondary connected devices' NL/ML sources still show up as available even if the boxes are not ticked in the app for those sources to be included in a device's local list.

+1 for improvements of the ML/NL.

I have two ML/NL and functionality of the B&O app still seems to lack what we had with the beomusic app.

What functionality did you actually get working? Any way to use join with “+”? Any way to play dlna directly to the ML/NL?

Possible to ML-out or PL-out?

In my situation, I probably should have clarified that I'm talking about adding sources from NL/ML converters to other NL devices. For example, if I want to access my BeoSound 9000 CDs via an NL/ML converter on my BeoSound 35 or BeoSound 1, I must assign that NL/ML converter as the primary connected device rather than the secondary connected device. Even though I tick the "CD" box in the app to add "CD" from a secondary device, I will not see "CD" available as a source on either the app or the BeoRemote One BT.

Is there any reason why the number of connected devices from which to access sources on an NL device can't be increased beyond 2 (primary and secondary)? This restriction of only 2 devices especially poses a problem when I have an integrated setup with a BeoSound Moment and a Beovision/BeoSystem. In such instances, I have to choice whether to have sources from my NL/ML converter that is connected to my BeoSound 9000 or my NL/ML converter that is connected to my BeoMaster 5500 with BeoGram datalink turntable. When I program macros on the BLGW, I can use sources from an unlimited number of NL devices (including NL/ML converters).

Maybe a silly question.

 

I've just joined the beta-version but I can't remember well, or isn't it possible to change the order of the products?

Normally I could choose the icon in the right upper corner, choose products and was then able to drag the specific product up and down in the list.

Quite a challenge to achieve "Less is More" while having the Beovirus.

You still can.

Tap the cogwheel.

Tap “products”

Tap “edit”

Then you can rearrange

Hi Thomas,

Thanks for this great work!

I updated the app both on iPhone and iPad and noticed that on the latter, the artwork seems "blurred".

Hi resolution pictures are embedded in my music files, so they should be sharp on iPad.

May you check?

Kind regards,

Yann.

May I ask for an easier to set timer? Maybe I'm missing something but right now you have to go through a lot of menus just to set a standby in 20 minutes timer for example ;)

Thanks!
