Is anyone using an NL/ML converter? And if so do you have volume control?

I am using a NL / ML converter between my Beosound Moment and Beosystem 3 where my speaker is connected. I can NOT adjust the volume from my B & O app (1.9). If I want to change the volume, I have to do it on Moment or via my Beolink app connected to my Beolinkgateway.? It's not an optimal solution.

Because an image is worth a thousand words, here is my vision for Band & Olufsen App 2.0

Quick description :

Full photo app with nice close ups of parts of the gear used

Top left corner : a "+" button to add the device like in the multiroom tab, or a link symbol if it's already playing something linked

"friendly name" as a title and name of device as a subtitle on the top right

Volume slider for direct access on the lower part. I think maybe the text of what's playing could be considered.

The device vertical slider has been removed, this function is accessed by the "now playing" button on the lower part of the screen, which replaces the multiroom tab.

Feel free to modify/comment! I've got some available time this summer to discuss with B&O app designer ;-)

ça déchire ...

Merci Mbolo01!

@mbee

Certainly worth studying for the app team ;-)

Now that you have removed the Multiroom tap, you also have to consider, which is the leading device in a playback group - especially if you have more groups in the setup. How would these different groups be visible in your ‘version’? As of now it seems that there is one group - Living room and Bedroom - of linked products. What if there are two or even more groups?

Which group of speakers would your new ‘Now Playing’ tab link to, then? Maybe all in one screen?

@Millemissen : 

for the group, I think that there is where a text line just over the volume slider could be useful : it would just give the title of the track/radio currently playing for the main product, and for the linked product “track title - from main_product_name”.

concerning multi groups, as I currently have only 3 products, I don’t know how it is currently managed bon the multi room tab, but as this tab is really simple visually, I don’t think it would be very different from what we have now with my design.

last, concerning the “now playing” I imagine that it could be totally unchanged compared to the current slider : a tap on it would directly display the black tab of the selected product on the main page, and the left/right arrows would help to change product without going back to the main page... in fact I imagined a progressive transition, first modifying the main page on v2, then the “now playing” tab on v2.5 ;-)
