Updated only my Essence mk2. The shut-off (kind of sleeptimer) bug has disappeared. 
Spotify Connect still works (another member mentioned no sound after update) 

Since update my Essence is dead. Anyone having the same issues?

I noticed that all different softwares for M3,5 , BS1,Core etc were released at the same moment. That’s rather unusable.
Could it be something to do with new remote “Halo” ? 

after reset it's again fully functional

Hi Stampfki,

When you mention reset do you mean reboot or a factory reset?

My Essence doesn't want to play via Spotify Connect any more. Was working before 'update'. Have tried different devices and all the same. Finds Spotify Connect and then just drops it.

Factory reset

Found an issue, not sure if it is related to the latest updates:

If you start Airplay on a B&O product that is standby, it kills its Beolink capabilities. You have to restart the product to recover.

Prerequisite:

• At least two B&O product Airplay(2) capable, at least one in standby, all Beolink capable, all with Airplay over Multiroom turned on
• An IOS or OSX music application
• All products connected to the same LAN (wired or wireless)

Test case:

1. Start an IOS or OSX music application
2. Configure Airplay to use the B&O product that is in standby.
3. Start streaming music
4. Open the B&O app
5. Select the B&O product streaming AP(2) source
6. Press the multiroom icon

=> You don't see the other B&O multiroom product(s) in the list

Note: Trying to join the B&O product streaming AP(2) source from the other products fails too.

On the other way, if you run the same test case on a product that was streaming another source previously, i.e not in standby, it works as expected.

I'm interested in any feedback on this test case in your setup where possible.
