My IPad Pro (12.9 second gen) refuses to connect to my core via B&O app. (Bluetooth is fine but chrome cast does not work either) 

Everyhting was working ok (with the occasional freeze) but now it just refuses to connect. The core is visible but the app can’t connect to it.

My IPhone 8 connects fine.

Ignore my previous p[osts. this is an IOS 11 issue. Rebutting the iPad (several times) resolved this problem.

Hi Thomas

I have a Essence2 integrated with an Avant2014.

When I am watching TV on the Avant and I select the Avant as device in the app and then I select Radio in the app then select a radio station nothing happens.

I would have expected the Avant to switch to the internet radio station via the integrated essence.

Folks,

 

Would love to see alphabetical indexing for artists and albums for DLNA. Hard to use this app without it if you have 1000's of albums. 

 

Thanks

‘Alphabetical indexing’ is a matter of the software running on the NAS/PC.

What a lot of us miss, is some sort of alphabetical search on the app, when we access the DLNA content.

Hopefully the app team will ‘listen’ - and find a way, that fits well with the overall interface.

Not sure about this statement. Sesam Music for example can quickly build its index, sorts the albums alphabetically and provides a quick jump ruler:

I guess B&O can implement such features without huge development.

Sorry if my post was confusing. mbolo01 describes what I am looking for to make the app practical for a large music collection.

Dear Bang & Olufsen App-Developers, dear Thomas Andersen, 

at first thank you very much for your perseverance to make the App better and more intuitive. Alltough I like your atempt in this current version to bring finally some order into the Deezer-favorite Albums category, I have to say, that I don‘t like the result. Now I have a alphabetical order of the album-titles, but still no alphabetical order of the artists. It is really annoying , that your customers are still forced to scroll and search „like hell“. Usually I know the artist I want to listen to - and usually I don‘t know the exact name of the album I meant to start. I think most costumers don‘t know the exact title of the albums they had liked too. Therefore they, (including me) are asking, demanding, begging since months that your will finally hear them. Please give us a alphabetical artist-order for the said favorite album Deezer-category. It should not be difficult, since you are now able to sort the album by his title. The line seems already programmed and should be altered only. I wrote this, months ago, to Mr. Andersen and he replied that this demand is heard loudly and will be implemented shortly - it seems that this announcement/promise is difficult to keep. May I ask why? The Deezer-App is able to present a alphabetical order of artists, your own BS-Moment is able to do that - maybe since this device is now anounced EOL, maybe the old team can lend a hand to your team again. 

 

Best Regards Beroli

Did you test that with another server also - to see, if it is the app that builts the index, or if that comes from the (Twonky) server?

N.B. I am not able to test it myself - the Sesam app seems to be only available in the french (iOS) app store.
