happy new year all;

I have a MacMini connected to my BS3; i don't have the PUC or the latest BS3 software loaded but will request this from my dealer when i get back....however...following question if possible:

I want to have my Beo4 to controll my mini; what controlls does it gimmick? Does it mimmick the apple remote control (4 or the 5 commands/buttons) - or so anything else as well?

I'm running plex on my mini for all my videos; but to controll this application effeciently you preferably need a few extra buttons; like the x, c and ESC button on your keyboard.....this got me thinking that maybe the Beo 5 remote controll (which i would buy if it could help me) i would be able to add extra buttons through the configurator tool mentioned.......does the Beo5 imitate more buttons or is it only the standard buttons you can control as per the beo4/apple remote control???

kind regards
Klas

Klas,

You can use the Beo5 to control your mini and also add the extra buttons that you wish to use, not just the standard buttons.

thanks Keith for quick response; especially with such good news...

I'll go and hunt for a Beo5 tomorrow if i can find one here in Singapore; otherwise i will have to find one in Beijing...

I assume i cando this customization myself using the configurator software? Do i need to get anything from my dealer or can i access everything i need from this forum?

Klas,

When you buy a Beo5 from a B&O dealer he/she will normally configure it to your requirements using the Beo5 Configuration software tool.

This software tool is intended for dealers use only, but many provide it to their customers and if you wish to customise it yourself you will need to ask your dealer for a copy of the software.

Does it come with a new Beo5 firmware?

p. 

When your updated with "Beo5 will Beo5CTSetup 2.20.exe" 
at the same time automatically updated with firmaware 1.40.
.

Yes! it works! My firmware was the buggy one, and the remote would not go to sleep and lose its battery.

I am so glad I got the new firmware ;-) 

Great work, working fine with my Mac!

Does any one have any working XML files for Xbox (Version 1). I am using it with XBMC, would be so cool to be able to control it with the Beo5.

 Also a working one for Windows MCE with the standard MS Remote would be very much appriciated :-)

Message for Keith...

Hi Keith, I note you have the Lutron Rania dimmers in your home. I have them also and the Bath dealership are doing their best to update my Beo 5 for me to control them all throughout the flat. Just wondered if you had any code that might save us a lot of time in the interim period. I only user the dimmers, 3 IR one's (Bedroom 1, Bedroom 2 and Lounge) and a dual master that I use for the hallway (inside and outside light), kitchen is a master, and rest of lounge has two accesories.

Beo 5 needs to dim all lights in all areas. Would be good to know how you have set this up for yourself? There are a number of options.

Any graphics/icons/xml code would be great if you have it already.

With thanks,

Simon.
