Thanks for resurrecting this thread as I was about to purchase a Moment from a dealer. Having read through this entire thread I won’t be doing that now. I also liked and considered the BS5. What a shame these products just aren’t supported properly. Simon.

If you can get a good price from your dealer then it is still a very nice product. But be aware that moodwheel does not work with your personal DLNA songs. It still works for Deezer songs. Artist albums is nice and adds to the experience but not crucial.

The feel of the moment is unparalleled, even the flaws taken into account.

Buying from your dealer is wise if he gives you 6-12months warranty period. The jukebox (tablet) is known to die at some point of time. Bad PCB boards and screen problems. So buy real cheap or buy with warranty.

Ok I’ll stop dreaming, but why not.

I'm dreaming too ....

I don't see album cover or artist images anymore in the now playing screen when I play Deezer tracks.

I gave up chasing B&O for the Moodwheel, I had some hope that they could replace it simply with something else such as Deezer Music flow + a random play of the local DLNA library when present, but nothing in the horizon.

I still reports bugs such as:

  • When a Deezer playlist is srattarted from the JukeBox, album cover miniatures are not shown in the App play queue screen, where they are if the playlist is started from the App itself against the Moment. I think that as the App gets upgrades, the BS Moment compatibility decreases unfortunately.
  • When a Deezer playlist is started on the Moment and that a M3 joins, the M3 ejects itself from the multiroom group after a couple of tracks. This does not happen for other B&O products or when the Moment plays TuneIn, DLNA, Line-In or a Deezer album.

The Moment is a great concept, a shame it was not supported and developed further.

A work-around for artist covers:

1. create a music file without music content ( not too short because it has to be detected by your DLNA server)

2. edit the tag of this file; set Artist photo as album cover; set the track artist and album artist as the Artist on the photo; name the album "1" or other sign (it must be the last in the album collection of the artist)

3. repeat for all artists

4. rescan your DLNA server

5. Rebuild the database of the Moment; you will see the photo's of the artists instead of album covers

 

Note: Expert Mode (beta) should be Off; I placed these files in a separate directory "Covers" to be scanned by the DLNA server

Thanks for the good advice! Looks great afterwards! I give it a bit more time to let B&O sort it out but if not this is truly valuable information.
And YES, mine still shows the artist correct 😁

 

Thanks Carolpa, seems it is time for me to get this done

You are talking DLNA only here, not Deezer, correct ?

I have given up asking for a fix for the moment simply because every time I get frustrated for having paid 2,2k for something that does maybe 20% of what it was supposed to do and I am almost begging for a fix. At least they could try to make a version of the b&o app or the beoliving app even better that could run on a moment.

20% performance is way exaggerated. It does everything that it was designed for accept the inner Moodwheel. Then there is the missing of artist covers, that is an optical flaw. Very inconvenient and annoying but nothing more than that.

Also it has problems with the durability of the screen/tablet. But that is more of a warranty issue on its own and has nothing to do with the design concept of the Moment.

It had major software flaws but they were mitigated already a long time ago.

I understand your disappointment regarding the Moment but it is still a very nice concept.

B&O should really make a new version of it!

The lack of a real sound system which can be operated on its own, without the use of a app, is the biggest flaw in their current portfolio.

The Halo is just not the proper successor (and is not meant to be).

It seems the “latest” software version is different for different systems.

2.2.2.3900 or 2.2.3.3903 for Jukebox, dependent on Jukebox Type Number 

And 

2.2.29827.253289881 or 2.2.34978.4941285 for Soundheart.

Does anyone have a different ‘latest’ version? 

B&O have abandoned their product support responsibilities because they don’t believe they will be held to account, financially speaking, for failing to meet the functional standards of the product they advertised.

They will be held to account. During this disgusting and irresponsible Moment mess they have just obliterated the trust of thousands of buyers who bought this expensive doorstop.
