Beo6 wifi with Beosound 5

@hackel. I get that b&o picture when the cover art is not on the bm5. Is that the issue?

No, I have all my covers in the BM5. I also get the covers in the menu where there are three small ones. So BEO6 finds them but can not show them in bigger format.

Me too, all my covers are in the BM5. Exactly like Erik, I've got the three small ones but not the others.

what does this mean: "in the BM5". I have flac & wma lossless files with embedded covers within each music file. All track covers are shown on the Beo6

 

I have WMA lossless, all with embedded coverart in each file. So it must be something else.

2 files for the covers. A 200 x 200 pixels "Folder.jpg" with a size of 40ko and another one "AlbumArtSmall.jpg" 75 x 75 pixels and 10ko.

Is that what you have or what is requested by the Beo6 to function?

 

200 x 200 is, in my opinion, way to small to look nice on BS5's big screen. I hope this is not the solution to my BEO6 problem.

the minimum resolution of my covers: 500*500

actually the BS5 program and/or Twonky make different sizes of covers for different uses available. So it starts with the given picture and makes addidion avialable in different resolution

Oops. . .

Hi Folks,

Would have been a (huge) surprise that the new Beo- 2-way wireless communication with BS5 tool worked properly from the beginning.

I did test it and confirm some of the observations:

- Queue and Play Queue browsing not working

- Larger cover art not displaying

- Selection of an album by a long press opens an empty submenu

The rest is working, but since the Queue is not working, can only play one track at the time!

Is it a software problem or a configuration problem? Since it is working for some of you, I guess it's a BS5/BM5/BEO6 configuration issue.

For those the tool works properly, could you please give us some details on your configuation (eg, BS5/BM5 as audio master etc.)

Thanks
