I’m on the beta track and received beta 1.16.19505 for my A6 and 1.16.19506 for my M5 and BS1.

That reinstated Cromecast on the A6.

I do not use Chromcast regularly but the times I tried it worked with no problems. Have a group including all my devices.

Experience no dropouts.

Thanks Hiort for informing.

If you're experiencing any issues would you keep us informed, please?

I got a firmware rollback by Beocare end of December to enable Chromecast again for my A6. So far everything works flawlessly for my 4 speakers GCC Multiroom. So, being wary, I disabled the automatic firmware update for my B&O speakers.

GCC I definitely need because sadly it's the only way for streaming Qobuz to B&O speakers. 

Thanks in advance.

How does one enter the beta testing group?

So we will wait for things to come.

@MM:

B&O sw dept issued a statement on Tuesday confirming that they have managed to identify the wifi issue and fix it. Tests so far shows that the issue is solved, but they will continue with more extensive test cycles to rule out as many side effects as possible (finally?). The release is said to be "in the next weeks" or as soon as possible - if there are no side effects.

‘within two weeks’ - ‘in the next weeks’....hmmmm!

Long gone now!

Anyway, as long as they are getting things right, it’s ok....I guess.

My Essence (MK2) is still on 1.15 .17881

(By the way - now as before - with no issues apart from the missing Cast support)

Hopefully the requirements for their new s/w engineers includes a thorough knowledge of and understanding of regression testing methodology.
