DLNA does not work properly.  choosing a playlist and tapping play will start playing the song and add it to the queue.  then it stops.  

how do you just tap a playlist on a DLNA server and play it?  it shouldn't be this complicated.

I presume you opened the playlist and tapped the first song, correct? After this song the playlist stopped, correct?

I had the same, when I wanted to play an album.

The trick is the "play" button just above the playlist. So if you choose a track, the track will be played, if you choose the "play" button the album/playlist will be played

@Weebyx: Could you make a feedback of the issue and we will take a look at it? Sorry for the trouble

Correct, that's the way to play all items of a container.

... I absolutely prefer the Spotify way of managing the play queue - if you go to an album/playlist and select a song, the entire album/playlist goes to the queue, and the song you pressed starts playing. Just seems more intuitive to me.

Dear MrAndersen,

I am not a part of your Beta-Tester-Group. I am a customer who has to cope with the recent hasty decission to remove the BeoMusicApp from the AppStore and replace it with a unfinished Product.. I am now on Version 1.02.6846 and while using this new App I get more and more agitated and angry. 

- Simple functions like "Volume-Control" are not working properly.

- Scrolling through the collection of albums I liked in Deezer is giving me headaches - since there is no alphabetical order of  artists anymore.

- Sometimes the tiles of Artists I liked are turning black and therefore you have to guess which artist is behind a tile since there is no tile description. The whole App  turns into the childs game "Memory"

- Sometimes my other devices besides the BS-Moment are vanishing and will be only visible again after a restart.

- Sometimes the BS-Moment ist not visible and the BS-Moment-symbol is  signed with an exclamation mark. I can assure you, I am in the right WLAN - but if I wait a while "maybe" the BS-Moment is accessible again

- using the volume wheel on  the 2x bloated version on a iPad is sometimes difficult, since the "Device field"  is overlapping the volume wheel

- when accessing the DLNA-content there is no Artist-tile with a immage of the artist anymore, like we had on the BeoMusicApp

- sometimes the whole App won't respond to any touch until a restart

... I know a lot of you are still using the BeoMusic app every day and it could be an inconvenience to change. You are probably also still missing some features yet to be implemented in the Bang & Olufsen app. But in long run we will have a more intuitive, cleaner and better app by making this change. 

To be frank, It is more than inconvenient to be forced to a mandatory Bang & Olufsen login- account, and finally to unfinished Beta-App which is not stable nor reliable. I had to reset one of my iPhones. Installing the old BeoMusic-App was not possible without a iTunes-backup nearby. Therefore I thought  "Ok, lets give the new Bang & Olufsen-App" a chance. My summary could not be kinder. While I apreciate the idea, to make a better App,, B&O should consider a more customer-friendly aproach to introduce a new App. At least the new App should provide the basics of the old App. I don't see any groundbreaking new functions or improvements in comparission to the "old" BeoMusicApp.

In my opinion, I would have preferred, that B&O would had invested the time and the money in a new exciting device (everything- but another portable speaker or headphone)

Now you could answer," please use the old BeoMusic-App while we still try to improve the new App" - while you urge us in this thread, not to use the old App and the new App at the same time - because of expected/known issues.

Best Regards

Hi Beroli,

I really do admire your patience and your will to post important observations of the app behaviour (and of the BS Moment).

Thumbs up for that!

 And I do hope, that the X-team will appreciate it (and benefit from it).

Personally I have decided to keep on using the 'old' app (which works well for what I currently need)...

.....untill this 'long run' is over.

There simply are too many hick-hacks in the new ;-(

Discontinuing the 'old' app is imo an insult against the future first time buyers of a NL device - they have no escape.

I X my fingers, that MrAndersen and the team soon will succeeed in their extensive venture.

I agree, it is such a shame to remove a fully working App, before the new is working. The latest version is really a headache regarding the Volume buttons/controls, and I wonder why these issues has gone unnoticed during testing. They are very obvious and 100% reproducible.

I have sent som mails and videos of the issues to MrAndersen, and he has been able to reproduce it, so hopefully the volume troubles will soon be over.

Every time I use the X App, I have a Beo4 close to me, as many times I go into the "Now Playing" screen, after having had unresponsive volume wheel, the volume is suddenly turned up, and I cannot use the App to turn down in time for not disturbing the neighbours :)

I am very unhappy with the current version of the X App..
