The app is a control app - the products are on the NL, right.

You might be able to have local playback of the DLNA source, the local files, the TuneIn service, and Deezer.

But the intension of the X-app is (as I have understood it) much more/much broader - it will be the controller of your entire NL-setup and (via the converter) also your ML-setup.

I agree 👍🏻🔥

X app being a local player would be nice too instead of using Apple's music app... GUI and layout needs to be spot on though...

Still that does not answer my question - what do you mean by 'going between..'?

Maybe I should not have asked ;-(

does the beomusic app support all navigation modes in both portrait and landscape?

I think what MM said was you don't need to switch from portrait to landscape as you mentioned earlier (even for multiroom control).

But you also did say full navigation would be good in both portrait and landscape but we all know only portrait has full capability.

Anyway, it's going... 🙂🙂

In portrait, yes

In landscape, no (only the multiroom navigation).

Means - if you are using landscape orientation, you have a point ;-))

(The X-app works for time being only in portrait mode -- probably because it is intended for a phone right now).

Very glad that inter planetary communication has been restored.

Always enjoy and learn from your input xxx

@Brigantinus: There is no plans for a Win10 universal app at the momen

@Sal: Yes, we will move away from recommending only TWONKY. We're testing on all the major vendors but it is impossible for us to test them all, so there might be some we do not get right in the first release. We're testing mainly on Synology, QNAP, Buffalo, Netgear and TWONKY. Search is not coming in the first version, but we start working on it soon.

Firstly Thomas and the rest of the Agile team -- thanks for the pre-announcements, continuous sprints & drops ! Keep up the good works.

PS I volunteer to test PLEX's DLNA support for you 🙂

It might already be on your to do list but it would be great to be able to change the icon shown when the output is an essence. An A6 shows up as a nice A6 icon, a Beosound 2 shows up as a nice little tower, but all of my Essence Zones show up as boxes making it difficult to understand which zone is playing / being controlled. 

Again than you for investing in this app. I hope your team is given all the resources it needs. In my opinion the success of the whole company hinges on the app being fast, smooth and bug free.

Good luck

 

Mr Andersen,

do you think a timer will be added? It will be great to be able to program the app to wale up with your fav radio station

thanks!

@Henrik: We have talked quite a bit about this feature, so far it has not ended up on the roadmap. The idea was that you listened to music on a product and had to leave. You plug in your headphones and the music follows you out the door. It is, however, quite complicated to do. First problem is that the playqueue is actually on the product, not on the phone. Furthermore we need to be able to render all the streams on the phone. That said, i would love to do it! Your feedback gives me reason to bring back for further discussion :)

This would be a really great and useful feature
