The BM5 must be master in the ML network...
It can not be a slave. (this is for all DLNA apps, if you want to use  the BM5 as renderer)
I hope B&O changes this in the future

other dlna apps can use the BM5 as a media server but not as renderer when the BM is setup as slave.
I use this setup and stream the audio to an airport express. (which is connected to the aux input of a BS9000)

It would be interesting if the creation app could do the same.
Only problem is all audio goes through the ipad, so it drains the ipad  batteries, and you need a perfect wifi connection

What do you mean that the audio goes through the iPad?

 

 

I can use the App to select a piece of music, turn the iPad off completely and the music keeps playing?

 

When i use another app like Twonky,  I use the ipad as player  and not the beosound5, than i push the ipads output to the airport express, so the music goes always via the ipad,
When I close the ipad, music keeps playing, but when i turn it completely off, music stops. (this is normal)
The Creation app uses the beosound5 as player but then the beosound must be audiomaster in the ML network...
When doing this you do not need the ipad running, so no battery drain, and when you are moving in the house, you will never have a drop out when the ipad is out of range from the wifi network, the ipad is just a controller

I do not understand why the beomaster5 needs to be audiomaster in the ML network to enable DNLA as server and player.
Hope B&O changes this sometimes ... 
The new Creation version looks already a lot better.
Now it finds the BM5 server without it needs to be audiomaster in the ML network, but you can still not use the ipad as player 
I wonder if the  playmaker is recognized as player by the app ? What do they exactly mean by "support for playmaker" ?

Hi

This is not my experience. When Creation5 is playing in the background the music stops/pauses before the next track. Then, if I try to open the app. again, it crashes.

Just for clarification - the app cannot continue to send the information to the BeoSound 5 if the app is closed - this is as a result of the way Apple handles the applications - once the app is closed is looses connection to the BeoSound 5 and when it does it cannot send it the commands to play the next track so the system will only play the current track it is playing and then will stop.  I'm afraid at this point in time we cannot resolve this so to ensure the music continues to play it is required that the application is left open on the iPad.

We hope everyone has an improved experience with the new update - we Thank You for all of the feedback we received - and we are continuing to work on improvements to the application for future versions.

If there is anyone that is experiencing problems with the latest version, please send us an email and we will get to the bottom of the problem as quickly as possible.

The Creation Team.

Creation Team,

Would you consider adding the option to turn off the cover art slide show? It can be somewhat distracting.

@creation:


Do you consider releasing your application for Android? As the number of Android-Tablets is raising it would be great to use the application on Android, too!

We are looking at the layout of the background slideshow and have a few ideas for this - we will have this adapted for a future release - we will look at an option to turn off this feature - thank you for the feedback.
