Tak PP. But it`s the same video you find on the official Beo site.

Yes it was in music storage where the iPhone and MacBook showed up.

I also set music server to off.

I tried to change the music server source to my iMac but it was not listed.  Did you have to change some share settings on the Mac and iPhone?  Can the iPad be a source also?

 

 

No, I did not change anything on the iPhone. Yes, I believe the iPad could also be detected. I will try to take another look at it. I do have to go out of town so if I do not get a chance to look at it in the next few hours it wont be until tomorrow nignt that I can look for it.

One thought, perhaps the iPhone needs to on rather than in standby when adjusting the Beosound 5 settings to make it discoverable?

Another thing, on the Macbook I purchased and downloaded some music server software from Twonky.

Yep, Twonky sets up your Mac as a UPnP media server, so the Beosound 5 has picked this up as a NAS device. Problem is, Twonky won't have been configured with any music, which is why the Beosound 5 hasn't picked up anything to play.

According to the Twonky FAQ "iTunes Plus songs that are purchased from the Apple iTunes Music Store are DRM-free and should play fine.".

To get them to play, you need to create a folder and drag audio files to it. However, you could simply create an alias to your existing iTunes music folder and that should work!

Now I'm on an 11" MB Air which, while some of the issues with the previous issues have been solved, just doesn't have enough horsepower to run my Lutron programming SW in parallels.

Trip, the 11" Air won't have enough power to run Parallels effectively. My 2.7Ghz i7 MBP can only just about run Parallels fast enough for my liking. Sadly you really need a quad core to throw a couple of cores at it, I've found.

You'd be better simply using your Air as a Windows 7 only machine, through Bootcamp! That would be very effective and would make a brilliant Windows 7 computer - very portable, reasonably fast.

You're not the first person to suggest that to me, but my concern is that I'm very hard, physically, on my laptops and the MBAir is just so precious! I feel like I need to make a clean break. Who knows I may experiment a little bit with that idea, but I'm a big fan of Richard Sapper's designs and so the ThinkPad, to me at least, is as much a design icon as an Air. I do wish I'd waited until they brought the backlit keyboard back to the Air family. Irritates me that it was gone for barely 6 months and now it's back. Hazards of early adoption.

Trip,

Forget design.  You need a Panasonic Toughbook!

Any news on when the Masterlink/Beonet converter will be available?

So if I install Twonky on my iMac, what does the Encore 'see' and display on its screen? Will it display all the album art?

Also, does the Encore (or original Beosound 5 for that matter) have the facility to set up wake up and sleep alarms?

than you have the functionallity as displayed in the adds on the B&o site (this includes album arts; if Twonky sees the cover BS5(e) will see it also)

To access Twonky on your Mac <name_mac>.local:9000

 

there is no timer function on the BS5e

 

Attention: One can also use XBMC on a Mac or PC as a music server for the BS5 and BS5e
