Beosound 5 App

I ran the app for a couple days then turned it off for  a day.

Then back on again.

No problems at all for me.  It worked the first time I turned it on.

There is a 'help' section on the app and I found it helpful.

 

It worked after restarting the server, but after shutdown I'm now back to "Finding BS5"

And it cost me 50d. 😭

You don't have to give up anything.
Beosound 5  in option 0, and you will have to press 2 times to activate radio. otherwise e
verything will work.

We recently became aware that there was a forum topic about the Creation 5 app.

I want to try and deal with the main issues that have come up in the direct feedback to us, and also through this forum:

 

1.The top request has been to add the Net Radio feature – we are working as hard as we can to provide a solution for this and hope to provide this in a future release, however we do not have a date for this feature as of right now

2. Track listing in the original order – this will be provided in the next release within the next 3-4 weeks

3. Connection problems – this has been something we have only seen occur in some set-ups and we are trying to understand the cause of this – it may be the Network traffic at connection time, as in most cases this is resolved by closing the app fully and re-starting – if there are continued experiences of this can those users please contact us and we will do everything we can to help

4. Background image resolution – we can only display the cover art in the resolution it is first stored when it is tagged – the suggestion in the forum by β€˜bsantini’ to use the Bliss, or similar tagging system will help – if the resolution is improved for the cover art it will look better in the background

5. The ability to go to any letter to search, has been resolved with the next release

6. We are working on how we handle the disc cover-art in the app – loading too many covers has resulted in very slow movement of the window, and the memory issue can become a problem, particularly with older iPad models – we will continue to improve this feature with updated releases

7. We are unable to provide a β€˜Shut Down/Power Off’ button in our app as unfortunately this feature is not supported in the DLNA platform

8. A small number of users have had a problem with album art disappearing - we suspect this is something that can be resolved in the BeoSound 5 – we have experienced the loss of cover art where the BeoSound 5 fails to send the information – if you go to the service settings and rebuild the music server the app will get the information again.

 

Thank you again for your feedback, we are genuinely grateful for you taking the time to help us understand and fix issues, and also help us identify the features you would like to see added to future versions.  We will continue to offer interesting and stylish products and applications for the B&O owner, and will do our best to take all of your suggestions and implement them where possible.

Thanks a lot for a nice app.
Can you give us some more information about the second app.?
I have lutron, mlgw can use this app.?

Regards claudiu

Thank you for the app, your posting here, and your efforts to improve the app.

Your other app mentions that a Masterlink Gateway is required, or another item called an MLPLNet Interface. What is that?

We are currently updating our web site with some additional information to outline the product features, as we bring the full Creation product range to the market.  The On-screen Menu is one of the key products in the Creation range and links with the ML Gateway and BeoSystem3 to provide control of the B&O and 3rd party hardware. e.g. Lutron, Kaleidescape etc.  The software provides a similar design to the Creation 5 app and retains the same focus on simplicity of operation - it can be operated using the Beo4, iPad app, our Creation Joystick controller, or the soon to be released iPhone application.  If you do not currently use the ML Gateway, we also produce a similar product - the 1ML-PL - which can also provide a link from our system to the B&O/3rd party hardware.

We are currently rolling out the product through the B&O Dealerships - if you are interesting in finding out more about our products, please provide us with your location and we can suggest a dealership that can help you understand how you can integrate our new product range with your existing B&O/3rd party set up, to provide ease of operation for the various components in your system. You can contact us directly at info@creation.com.es

I noticed if you just pause or stop eventually the BS5 will power down, however I'm surprised no mentioned Mots or just the ability to create a playlist based on one song.....

@creation:

 How did you test the Beosound 5 software? Only with a default Beosound 5 configuration? I can't get the software to work. It only displays "currently finding Beosound 5" and nothing more!

As written above I have renamed my Beomaster to a custom name and I have password protected the unit. Musicserver is set to ON but nothing happens!

Beosound 5 is set as slave while a Beosound 3000 is the master.
