« Interesting » and scaring ... but why not all products are reacting the same ? My M3 and BS 1 are also part of my Apple home and their name can still be changed by B&O tools.

It’s funny...

....I can rename my Essence (2nd gen), but not my M3.

Further I can rename my BV Avant, but not my V1.

Note: I never used the Apple Home app - and this should have any effect on the renaming of the V1, anyway.

Should have been:

’this should NOT have any effect on the renaming....’.

May I suggest a new feature:

I think it would be nice if the App could provide more information about the now playing track such as the format (MP*, FLAC, etc...), the sample rate, the bit depth and rate, the channels, the track release date and some information about the artist. All this is usually retrievable from the track metadata, being DLNA or Deezer, just an idea .....

Hi MrAnderson,

Sorry for the delay in responding, I have been travelling and away from my B&O setup at home.

What you have clarified is correct, that's exactly what happens. I have just tried again with Pink Floyd Animals (5 track album) and it has resulted in the album being placed in the PQ three times with track1 in first and playing from the third entry. I cleared the PQ and it did it again. Screenshot below.

This is the latest beta of the app running on Android.

Let me know if there is any more information I can provide to help find this bug.

Kind regards,

Dion

 

Hi @MrAnderson,

I was just wondering if you have had a chance to look at my PQ issue?

I can submit a bug through the play store if that would help...

Many thanks,

Dion.

 

Hi Dion

We're unable to reproduce it. I will get our QA to give it another shot. I might need your logs to proceed. I will get back to you today. 

 

Hi MrAndersen,

thanks for the response!

Happy to provide whatever you need.

Dion.

However, I think I've noticed a new bug. It seems that the albums are entered into the PQ twice and in an odd order. For example, if I add an album with 4 tracks my PQ will look as follows

I found a way to produce a similar behavior :

Load 1,2,3,4 in PQ and start listening 1

Before 1 finishes, listen to a radio

Load 1,2,3,4 in PQ again

PQ will look like: 1,1,2,3,4,2,3,4

Mbolo01 and Dion

Thanks for the update. We started on it today, I will keep you posted.

Thank you very much for working on the genre “Deezer-Auswahl” Show All screen. Now it is much better on the iPad screen, you see more content / genre, what it is all about. 

But I would love / suggest to follow the Deezer design (as you did with Artists using round circles instead of squares). Deezer is using small rectangle instead of squares for displaying genre. The big advantage is, that you are able to display more content on the same display size. See screenshot comparison Deezer vs. B&O App on iPhone and iPad:

And in the end it is content you want to display for selection, it is not a foto app that has to focus on pictures. And the genre pictures are transporting much less information compared to album covers. Certainly it should look good, but Deezer found a very good compromise between looking good and displaying as much content as possible. Please follow the Deezer approach !!!
