Beosound 5 App

Our priority was to develop apps for the iOS platform, however we are currently discussing Android platform - in fact as I type there is a discussion taking place between 2 of our developers on this very topic - I don't have any timeframe for this right now but it is something we are looking into.

This question is a long shot, I know... I am wondering whether this app can be used on an iPad to control a macmini (instead of a beosound), can it be possible?

The application can recognise any device that is running DLNA - if the MacMini is running DLNA you would see it as a server and be able to see Music content on the hard drive and stream that content to any of the Renderers/Players in your network - I'm not sure if there are specific things you want to do with the MacMini - if there is something in particular you would like to do let me know and we can let you know if it's possible.

Yes please. The reason i like to use the Mac mini is "Dirac Live room correction software" running on it. My understanding is that the Mac is, in this case, a player. Between the Mac and beolab 5s there is a converter: FireWire to spdif.

Thanks for your reply.

Thanks a lot for the latest update. It works much better now and one important new feature for me is the ability to have Creation5 play in the background. This makes it much more useful.

I have a problem with the cover art. Creation 5 only shows part of the cover and cuts it off around the edges. As if zooming in on the cover. This happens to both my own covers (512X512 dpi) and the default B&O cover.

Also the extended content list is very useful. However, not all items in the list are relevant for all users and I was wondering if it might be possible to select which items to be displayed? For instance a clickable list like "Background Mode" (Nice feature, by the way)

Tre app is great, but it will not play my WAV songs, and many of the songs in BM 5 doesn't show up in the app. Why?

 

Hey guys, has anyone tried MOTS yet? That was always my problem with the app. Picking one song for continued play
