Thanks for the link to the video (final demo)

Oddly that english version of the link which was sent out via email from my dealer had already been removed when I tried to view it; so let's see how long this one will last 😁

But, I got to say I totally like the new search function which dynamically populates the finding for the various resources and it does it really fast.

Do you mean this one:

From what I heard, B&O developed the original Moment software using an offshore team. They created some 170.000 lines of code.

B&O then hired a team of 20 inhouse developers, where many came from Google. The new software is down to some 17.000 lines of code, so it should be much more effective now and easier to manage and build upon. (The numbers are from memory, but there is a significant reduction done).

That is great news :)

One funny thing, and also a thing I have reported back, is that the Moment actually responds to a 2-way remote like the BL5000..

It causes the green button on the back to flash very fast, and unfortunately, the volume, if turned up by the BL5000, will keep rising to max volume. Quite scary on a set of Penta 3's :) This continuous rise can be stopped by turning the volumen down, but then it sometimes just turns all the way down :)

This is "the problem" when the developers of a product does not know the history of a company. The newer(older) 1-way products, just ignore the 2-way protocol, but how should a developer know this, if he does not know about a 20 year old 2-way remote :)

I have suggested that they in coming sw, just ignores the 2-way ir protocol in the moment, but as Lyle wrote back "you are probably the first to ever use a 2-way remote with the moment", so this is probably not a serious problem, and something that is but in the backlog :)

I'm not very happy with the new software.

The two outer circles at the Moodwheel play all possible music, but nothing belonging to the existing music. I do not need playlists if that would work well.

And there is a mistake that has already existed. The display is black when the music changes to the next track. Very bad.

For me not a good update. Not a good job, B & O.

I have been following the specific thread with a lot of anxiety as to when the new software will be available since I am following the beta thread as well. I upgraded to v2 last night and unfortunatly I did not have enough time to play around with the new software but the first impression is WOW!!! They really did a very good job. Interface's behaviour is stable, the search section has become a music search section instead of a deezer search section. You get some feedback as to what the moment is doing at the background so you don't have to wonder when you music is going to be available, or if the wifi signal is strong enough etc. This is a great step forward. I will play around a bit more with it and I will come back with more details.

PS I totally agree with some of the people in this forum that they should add the multiroom screen to the moment interface since the idea is to have a beosound 5 with a detachable screen you should be able to move around your house and use it as a telecommander. After all I do not think that it is difficult....they have done it for our iPhones and android smartphone....🙂

Pretty much the same here, and adding the multi room screen would have been excellent, so something to come sooner rather than later. Althought to be honest what they've done is amazing as it was pretty much garbage in the previous software version.

Anyway moving on, not had too much play time, as kept busy by HWMBO, so Sunday morning it'll have a good workout, but the first impressions are from previously wanting to steer clear of it and only using the BeoMusic app to control it, its now much MUCH better to use, amazingly fast and a pleasure to finally own after the software update. Great job by all involved, let's get on that itterative path and go for Agile monthly updates now please :-)
