HELP PLEASE- Yes BEOPORT STILL

3 replies

Hi All

I've posted a similar issue previously.. the issue continues to plague me. I've recently had my beoport repaired as it stopped working altogether. B&O couldnt tell me what was done with it, but after 5 five weeks it came back to me repaired. It was suggested they basically gave it a new inside...

Im using a beoport connected to a mac and beocentre 2. N.MUSIC works just fine.... N.RADIO however is driving me crazy... It works fine for a period and i can change stations using the remote. However, if one station is left to play for say more than 20 minutes or so the link between the beoport, the remote and computer appears to be broken, i.e it keeps playing (so the internet hasnt dropped out) I can't however change the station. The BM link icon then has the coloured spinning wheel appear above it, indicating it is stuck. I then have to reboot the computer, switch off beocentre 2 and start again......

I'm using a mac mini (was previously using an imac in another room) and itunes. I've reinstalled the BM Link software several times...

I've sent a number of emails to Anders Odlund, but he hasn't replied to my last couple of emails of a some months back.. I guess he's busy.

Any suggestions- this is ruining what is really a nice product..

Hi David Coyne,

I'm using a Mac Mini (first model) + Beoport + BV7 + BS3200 for N.Music and N.Radio.

Some time ago Anders Odlund had updated the Beolink software to version 1.5. It enabled the use of Fronrow if I'm correct. With the use of a B&O-IR remote sensor I got it up and running on the old Mac Mini (without IR-sensor). Happy me. But when I used this setup more frequently, changing from N.Radio to N.Music and back again, the Beolink dead. With the N.Radio station or N.Music albums on they didn't stop anymore.

My work around was to ditch the Beolink 1.5 software and lose Frontrow availability, and start using 1.1 software again.

HI Coolskin..

Thanks for the reply.

I was using 1.5.2 software. I deleted that and have now installed 1.5. That didnt change anything.

Can i install 1.1 software with leopard running system

Ive had no problems with N.MUSIC really... just NRADIO.

It is really driving me mad- and the fact no one at B&O is really very interested is making me more crazy!

It is so lovely when it works.. for all of 15- 20 minutes!!!

I'll see if my system will let me instal 1.1 software... (with itunes version 8 and leopard this seems counter intuitive though?)

Anyone else have any bright ideas

 

Regards
