                         ANNOUNCEMENT 

Jacob (Weebyx) and myself are very pleased to announce the completion of the Beo5 3rd Party XML Generator which has been made available to Silver and Gold members for download.

This is a Windows based Tool (sorry Mac users) which allows the automatic generation of XML files for ANY 3rd party Infra-red remote controlled products which are subsequently used by the B&O Beo5 Configuration Tool to configure and download to your Beo5. The tool has been tested with 52 different 3rd party remote controls and successfully produced a fully working Beo5 for each 3rd party product.

All members can read the Windows only HELP file by downloading it link to fully understand how to use the tool.

The Beo5 3rd Party XML Generator is found under the "Service Manual" section of the Beo5 link for Silver and Gold members.

As a service to members you will also find

When downloading the HELP file (CHH format) which is in a ZIP file, save the zip file to your computer and extract the help file and then run it. If you try and double click on the help file within the zip file you will get page not found.

CHH format means "Compiled HTML Help file" which until recently was Microsoft's standard helpfile format.

This really sounds like something.

 What about putting the manual out for public download, I'm sure that a great and working piece of sofware, can generate Silver / Gold members.

....I am considering this excact thing myselves now ;-)

 Does it enable me to control something like my Mac, my Mediacenter PC and my Xbox directly without the need for the PUC in the TV?

Macsat,

In answer to your last line, the simple answer is YES

The HELP file is available for public download, its ONLY the software itself which requires you to be a silver or gold member.

Sounds very great....and very much sounds like you got yourselves one more paying member on BeoWorld ;-)

 I will definally give it a go this weekend, as my Beo5 is standing on a shelf looking quite nice, but not beeing used at the moment.

 This would mean that I can see the use for it again though :-)
