Update from B&O support:

I just received an email stating that they are "constantly working om a solution to ensure Chromecast is working again. B&O is working with Google to fix the issue.The problem is due to a server error."

No information regarding a timeframe for update.

That’s good news!

Yesterday my two M5s got sw version 1.25.42741. CC version is still 1.28.102057.

However CC is now working as before, and I no longer get error messages in the error log.

Static CC groups are also working, but no signs of the new dynamic CC groups yet.

That is how my M5 behaved after the upgrade to 1.25. After a few days the log got flooded by these error messages again. (...."Authentication server unreachable, stopping Google Cast!" ) 

The dynamic CC groups will probably not work with the 1.28 CC version.

Hi, particularly my M5 keeps bothering me. it’s Running on the latest Firmware 1.24 and out of the blue it suddenly makes trouble.

any idea why it’s not showing its serial ID and the system tells about failed software update?

Additionally it has been also disappeared from the Google app as chrome cast device.

 

Really frustrated here...

Br from Germany :)


Did reset the M5 and keep trying to pair it to the IOS B&O app. But it simply does not appear there. As Bluetooth device I can see and pair it, but it’s showed with serial no 00000 as part of the default Bluetooth name. Usually it shows up as BeoplayM5-serial no. Any ideas? It’s on firmware 1.24 and I haven’t initiated any update, which hasn’t been offered anyway.

Had my M5 replaced under RMA with the same issue last year.
Is it still under Warranty ?

Unfortunately no, 6 month beyond :((

is it worth to ask support? Or is it considered as crap now?

It's always worth asking...  maybe they say no, maybe they take pity... 

If you do ask support I would be glad if you would share your experience with us.

Can you let me know what the update for the A6 included? I can’t tell whether my unit received it or not. There doesn’t seem to be any material on it on the Internet.
