In summary you would like the favorites albums grouped by artists which would be sorted alphabetically, correct ? Like a Moment collection view without the artists tales step.

On the other hand, maybe that could be an inspiration for the (Bang & Olufsen) app team, because it is there, that I/we need it - not in a seperate app

This is exactly the purpose of posting these screenshots! Sesam has the basic features we all want in B&O app for DLNA collections.

Note: based on my tests, Synology does not expose the album cover (it may be a configuration I missed), QNAP DLNA server is slowly providing the albums to the app so index takes time to fully build on large collection, Twonky is super fast.

exactly, like we had it in the BeoMusicApp. Still works there, so it is possible. Don‘t know, why the new order is choosen.

Meine Alben = Favorite Albums

Unfortunately I think that the new app is a « basic » DLNA controller that deserves enhancement v.s the legacy app that was integrated to the Moment logic bringing peculiarities like the artist grouping, but also caveats like track availability dependent on Moment harvesting

I think it is neither a DLNA controller issue nor has nothing to do with the BS-Moment. As you can see, that screenshot was taken with the BS-Essence active not the BS-Moment. It is just a issue how the order is programmed. Now it‘s Album/Artist instead of Artist/Album. If I look at the Deezer-App, which has nothing to do with the BS-Moment, the order of "Favorite (Deezer) Albums" is exactly the same, as it was with the „old“ BeoMusicApp.

Hi all

 

Next version will bring alphabetical sorting on artist for albums and tracks. Secondary sorting on album titles. From the filtering you can search on artist, album or track, depending on the list. So writing the artist name in a track list will give you tracks by that artist. The next version will give you the option to change the sort order, still working the choices but date added will be there.

Unfortunately Dlna will not benefit, it is served paged and cannot be sorted on the phone. 

 

New version will roll out next week.

Hi there Thomas 

Maybe i am being a bit dumb, but how did the old BeoMusic app manage to provide DLNA search?

Was it done by, for example, my Moment? (and therefore showing in the App)

If search cant be done on the phone, does that mean we shouldn't expect to get DLNA search in the app in the future?

Thanks

SB

Dear Thomas,

great news, looking forward to this features. Thank you for your clarification.

Cheers Oliver

The new app behaves like any DLNA controller by browsing what the DLNA server exposes, not more, like my old Sony TV does and less evolved than some freeware like Sesam Music app I introduced earlier in this post.

It does not store anything to be processed later on like for indexing. Searching, grouping

The former app is leveraging what has been processed by the B&O device, being a Moment or an Essence which are exposing their collection differently and only understandable by B&O app

This is my view and Thomas answer is a confirmation that no post processing is in the pipe for DLNA and I anticipate no integration with « legacy » products such as the Moment or the Essence

Hi SB

„Unfortunately Dlna will not benefit, it is served paged and cannot be sorted on the phone. „

He just meant the possibility to have a customized sort order for Deezer Album Favorites. I would love to have a all-over-search for DLNA-content in future too - but this would need a database implemention, which is difficult to realize within the app - as Thomas mentioned before.

Cheers Beroli
