I have purchased a M5 two weeks ago, and i must say it works fairly good. It is not hi-fi, but as an extra nice looking speaker in our dining room it's fine. I am missing full integration with the Beoplay App, so i can use ToneTouch and adjust the sound as it is pretty bassheavy for my taste. I have looked in a few other threads in here, but have not found that anyone has managed to get ToneTouch to work with the M5?

So, how do I activate TuneIN from standby and nothing is playing in the linksystem?

One press?

Can I use timer to start TuneIN on the M5?

Is it possible to set in what order the different sources are activated, like on the BS1 and the A6?

I thought it was the last listened source or perhaps bluetooth that starts when activating with one press and in my case this was a Deezer playlist yesterday, however I tried this morning and the last radiostation I have listened to a couple of days ago started. There was no other product playing in the house at the moment.

Still experimenting...

Borrowed one yesterday to test my 50ms delay and multiroom. It worked perfectly, and yes, it is possible to start TuneIn by timer :)

I confirm the TunIn timer start action.

For Android users of the new app, I received a mail from B&O on my question why the queue is always filled with unknown radiostations and loosing my 'Favorite TuneIn list':

We are aware of the bug regarding TuneIn radio in the new Android app. The cause of the problem is a change in behavior - the BeoMusic app basically adds the entire list of favorites to the product play queue, and then start playback of the requested station. This ensures that the product buttons work properly and change to other favorite stations.
Our new app is different; it simply plays the requested station, without adding the other favorites in the play queue. This means that the product will default to its standard radio stations if the product buttons are used, and this is the cause of the problem you are observing.Our developers are working to change the new app to implement the old behavior. We expect to address this shortly - an update should be available in about two months.

The above problem is mainly of interest to users who wants to operate the M5 in a Multiroom surrounding, and want to have the M5 controlled by a remote and its numeric buttons.

I noticed also, in Multiroom use of the M5 and powering off the link its better to use first the 'Stop' button and next the red 'Power Off' button on a remote. If following this sequence the M5 goes immediate to its 'sleep' function. Not following this sequence and only pushing the 'Power Off' button is keeping the M5 for a rather long time still activated (two blue lights on).

Are you actually saying that the M5 can be used by a remote ? Beo4 ?

No, only on devices operable with a remote... (the pair function for a 'wheelie' remote is removed in the latest M5 SW update)

It means controlling by a remote not directly to the M5 itself but: from the Essence with IR-eye, from Moments Jukebox, from ML devices connected to NL/ML converter, etc....

The M5 is a fully compatible with the Multiroom family.

Aaaah yes.. I borrowed one, to test the Multiroom, and I will probably be buying one later on for the bedroom.

It is just a pitty that none of the new Play products cannot be controlled by Beo4. I need the M5 to wake me up in the morning, but I would like to just reach out in a dark room, and adjust or power off the M5 with the Beo4 in a dark room with closed eyes.

It sucks that I need to get my phone and look at it with sleepy eyes, to adjust the volume or power off :)

I fully understand you. We paired a 'Essence wheelie remote' with the M5 in January at the dealers shop. And that was a very interesting factor especially for me, I wanted to place a second M5 at a not reachable place in the bathroom.

The M5 I bought now was a present for my daughters birthday, and is placed next to my daughters bed, but she has such a powerless hand in wake-up... 😠

In the latest SW update the pair function of this remote was suddenly removed, but perhaps they will return it in another SW update. Looking at the configuration page the remote tab page is now empty...

I presume the Beo4 will never work with the M5, but maybe the Beoremote One BT will one day.
