@Mr Andersen

Has been written before..

A way to manually change the order of the devices in the home screen would be very appreciated.

As of now the just appear in alphabetic order.

(And maybe the size of the tiles, too).

Not sure I understand MrAndersen.

In the app I see tone controls for my M5.

Do you mean they do not control M5 yet? Controls are not hidden.

I tested on the M5 and the tone controls are not active despite the fact they are accessible in the application.

A new update for the B&O app is available, version (.....614).

Tonecontrols for the M3 (and assume also for the M5) have been removed from the app.

@Henrik: Yes this scenario currently is pretty poorly supported. We're looking at Deezer Family as the solution to this, but no timeline yet sorry. Using full width album art is very hard across so many screen sizes, we used to have it but it was overlayed in the bottom and top to make it work. We're not allowed to do that anymore, "changing" album art is copyright infringement. Good to hear you like it!

@AnalogPlanet: I follow you and see your point, why release features when there are unresolved issues. Most of the issues you are referring to are product related and we can't do anything app side. The one about Deezer I would like to investigate. Could you please send a feedback in the app with the message "ths : Deezer hangs"?

@L1no: Speaker selection is coming when we implement the remote features due later this year

@dueon: No matter what order we choose someone thinks it is crazy, no one size fits all. We are adding a selection of sort order in the Deezer music lists

@elephant: Nothing for the Moment, sorry. Sounds like your BeoSound Core chooked on the DLNA music you tried to play and our app didn't handle it well. Could your please send a feedback "ths: dlna hangs"

@Millemissen: Re-ordering is being developed as we speak. Should hit the 1.6

@mobolo01: M3 and M5 only supports ToneTouch, this is due in 1.7

And the issue of the high volume level of TuneIn?

Hi, and thanks for the answer! But if I understand correctly, you can't have both Deezer Hifi and Deezer Family? That would take away some fun.

Would it be a solution to make it possible to associate several (at least two) Deezer accounts with a single B&O account, but then you would have to choose which one was active at any one time? Then maybe the choice of which one Deezer account was active could be a local setting and stay on the device, not be synced across the B&O account.

Sorry, I know. People not working in your field, with no expertise, that walks in and suggests stuff beginning sentences with "Why don't you just...". 😳

Anyway, this can't be a very rare user case. A lot of people on this forum have partners, don't you? And you probably don't have a Beosound Moment each in the living room. I would really like to hear how other people organize themselves around this limitation, other than waiting for MrAndersen to figure out the best way to implement this. Shared Deezer account? DLNA exclusively?

Anyone?

-h.

@MrAndersen: feedback sent via the app, let me know please if you’d need me to do/test something to help figuring out why A9 started to act like that... Not exactly sure what you meant by “product related issues”, my A9 never had such behaviour until the last fw update so I sense it could be connected...

@AnalogPlanet : when MrAndersen says product related issue, he means a problem with the latest product firmware. This is something that he’s not working on, as he’s developing the software on iOS and Android. Not the same programmin langage, so not the same skills, so not the same people developing both product fw and controlling apps!

Yes, you are right, silly me.

The app, at least from my POV, is progressing very nicely with cool add-ons coming frequently. And it looks great. Thumbs up for the team in charge of if.
