Hi all, 

I noticed today that virtually all my multiroom products (old and new) had pending updates. 
The result is quite wonderful, and I gather that B&O have been hard at work. 

There is no longer any latency when activating BeoLink for Airplay sources!

This means that B&O products can be activated for Airplay 2 and Multiroom and be used in a mixed Airplay setting (with speakers by other manufacturers) in perfect sync.

What it also means is that I can now stream to one B&O product via Airplay 2 and JOIN five or six B&= individual products by touch to join, while adding third-party Airplay 2-enabled speakers in other rooms without losing sync.

 

Such a great and pleasant surprise, and a great leap forward.

... And it works with video, too. Perfect sync of sound and image. Bliss!

Lately, I feel the same way with you. They have been working more on the software department. I appreciate their hard work to deliver the software updates that improve our experience.

Checked my devices, M5 and Essence show they were updated a few days ago. Last update for Core was months ago and it shows no update available. Hopefully it will show up also.

Thanks Razlaw and Carolpa.

This version has a Beolink issue that I’m trying to get fixed since March. Hopefully they’ll find a solution.

Symptom: After the daily scheduled restart (not controllable by the end user), the Core can no longer join a Beolink multiroom, or be joined by other products. A manual restart clears the issue until the next daily scheduled restart

I’m looking for any other users’experience on this front.

I have been less than happy in the past about B&O's multiroom SW quality for different easons, now it is fair to say there is a massive improvement and the credit needs to be given to whomever in B&O took leadership to drive it.

The app here and there is still perhaps not the best in class UI example, but as for the multiroom experience it is in my view in many aspects really really good and I'm actually glad that you started this thread StKong.
