I just want to share my experience with the Moment. I love it. No reboots.

First I started with DLNA. And yes, the Moment had problems with the covers. But why using DLNA? I started to add all of my albums as favourites in deezer. Only a few artists were not available. In sum I have only 50 songs still on my NAS available via DLNA. This is working very well.

I hope that in future it is possible to search directly in deezer with the Moment. And we will see a better integration in NL/ML configurations. Now the speakers in the main room switch on when you hear music in any link room.

All in all it is possible to use it now. And an update is on the way as I read hear in the thread.

@ MM

your way to defend Bang & Olufsen is really laughable !

You may laugh - then maybe we can at least agree on laughing at each other 😎

Tue is fine.

Regardless of who did the UI it's Bang & Olufsens name on the product and they are the creators and should have done better quality control.

I understand the need for outsourcing and it add expertise in areas where they may not know, but the quality control should be in house - they are the ones that should know their customers.

Culturally the company is sick. On Twitter a customer asked when B&O is going to fix their issue with deezer in their moment. After the first post with no reply the customer asked again. B&O responds sorry we have passed on to the product development team and we can't help you any further. That's disgusting. Get your finger out and find out before responding to the customer. It's your customers that pay your wages. It's that clear.

With the upcoming multi room I have a feeling that the software will be something special. It's a real opportunity for B&O to get it right. Giddy up B&O :-) 🤩🤒

Because of start-up problem I used the same Twonky Server as for the BS5. I intentionally wanted to use the server of JRiver instead, but had some problems with the artist pictures (totally not with the embedded covers though).

Triggered by this discussion I retried today JRivern. The Moment reads the content of the server within 10 minutes (approx. 16.000 files). The covers are shown on the BeoMusic app right away. The Soundhub takes more time. How long? No info displayed after 15 min! So presumably the way the heart and the hub communicate will be the cause of most issues.

So the solution would be to fit a tweaked Android version of the BeoMusic app in the Soundhub

Since the start I used the BeoMusic app more than the Moment itself. It is simpler and has a good UI.

For me the Moment delivered what was promised at that moment. And yes I have had my share of problems, but still it did what was said. What I miss a lot is the multiroom functionality. I'm used to take the music around the house with me. So bring it on................ I like what I see in the the BeoMusic beta app.

that is the release date of the sw. The update was today, as the updates for the BV

It's the start for the new multiroom (at least the BLC update). No new update on the Moment, anyway I didn't seen it

Addition: after 30 min the Hub of the Moment started to fill with info from the JRiver server. It seams to go really quick now.

 So some problems seams to been solved

 Beroli maybe you should (re)check your local network, maybe you have some issues there.
