Beosound 5 Spotify, internet connection

Mine is saying "NO"

I have the same problem with Spotify here in the US, and my network connection says "no"...  yet, n.radio works fine and I can access the BM5 via my computer.  Good news:  I don't think all of our main boards just faulted.  Bad news:  It doesn't work and will B&O still support?  Personally, I blame Microsoft! 😜

My software versions are:

BS5/BM5 Application: 7.04.01.1945

BS5 Main firmware: 1.38a

BS5 Boot firmware: 0.04a

...

BM5 ML Firmware: 2.36

BM5 ML PCB: 4

BM5 MB Bios: 1.15

...

BM5 OS Image: 5.00

BM5 OS Update: 7.03

Last N.Radio Update: 2016-08-21

My dealer sent a service report to B&O who said "Spotify have introduced a new feature, go on Spotify on a laptop and delete favourites". This makes no sense to me.

It definitely makes no sense.  I rarely use Spotify from my computer, but I cannot find any "favourites" (or favorites 🙂 ).  I deleted my "starred items", and that didn't seem to do anything.

Nice 😕

did anyone searched at Spotify, if it still supports Windows XP.

maybe they don't accept connections from XP.

Same problem here. Internet connection says no, bit N.radio works.

I think you are right about Windows, if I go into the service menu, internet explorer cannot go online..

Just checked my Beosound 5. Same problem. I have been thinking about canceling Spotify as Deezer Elite sounds so much better. But I liked the functionality of Spotify on the Beosound 5. This makes the decision for me...time to cancel Spotify.

Are we sure this is permanent Razlaw? Might be worth giving it a bit of time to see.
