Beo 4 and apple remote

SW version menu says: 05.02b for STB TABLE" ... where do you find this info? 

This topic has been discussed at least once before.

Here is

Munin:
Also in my case the "Apple appleremote" does not work; the fact that, like you say, the LED on the Apple TV does not blink while pressing any of the keys on the Beo4 is backed up by my test of having the Lintronic device decode the Infrared code in CodeLearn mode; it too doesn't think that the IR code is an apple remote in this setup.

This leaves the "iPod Remote" and the "iPod Dock". In both cases the Lintronic device says these configs are sending DEC IR code; same as a real Apple remote. I'll see if it is possible to compare the 2 configs using the Lintronic device for standard buttons like up arrow, GO, etc.

But perhaps it's related to the SW versions of the BV7-40mkIII.
So here's the stuff I get from the Customer Service Menu under SW VER:
H8 SW: 03.50a
H8 BOOTLOADER: 01.10a
IOP SW: 23.00a
M2 SW: 03.10a
STAT DISP SW: 02.00a
M2 STB TABLE: 05.02b
PW STB TABLE: 05.02b
DSM DSP SW: 03.00a
DSM FEP SW: 03.10a
DVD FEP SW: 01.10a
AVS FEP SW: 03.10a
DVE FEP SW: 03.40a
PW SW: 03.70a
PW BOOTLOADER: 01.00a
DVE FPGA SW: 02.50a
PIN FEP SW: 01.30a

In my setup I selected iPod Remote under SET-TOP BOX. When I go to OTHER, I can't select iPod Remote (it's not there). Under OTHER I only see iPod Dock. Both Apple Appleremote and iPod Remote are only visible under SET-TOP BOX.
So it looks like there is something different in your STB list.

Kjeld ... Indeed I found differences !!!

This is from the SW Version Menu on my BV740 MKIII 

H8 SW: 03.30a

STAT DISP SW 01.10a

M2 STB TABLE 05.27b

PW STB TABLE 05.27b

DVE FEP SW 03.20a

PW SW 03.30a

PIM FEP SW 1.20a

 

Do you think this is the solution?

Munin: I assume the STB TABLE version number is the version of the STB list. So looks like yours is newer than mine (assuming your higher number means newer). That doesn't tell us anything about the iPod Dock/iPod Remote STB entry though. Second difference is the location where the iPod Dock/iPod Remote entries are selectable. With my BV7 it's in the SET-TOP BOX menu, with yours it's in the OTHER menu.

So I guess questions that only B&O is able to answer.

The only thing I can add to complete the story is how I got my version of the STB list. My dealer came by to upgrade the STB list, but was unable to do so using the latest B&O service tool; apparently the BV7-40mkIII and BV8 use a newer version of the B&O service tool. So, what my dealer did is use the old B&O service tool and acted as if my BV7-40 was a beosystem 3.

Thanx Kleld for all valuable comments.

Let's hope B&O follows this forum.

Bugfree software on my wishlist!
