Software update on my V1

19 replies

Just saw, that there was a small update on my V1.

Not much, but something, that I have had wished for...

With an earlier update a 'time out' for the screen - when playing from Spotify... or audio from H.Media - was introduced. Very annoying, as I found.

Now you can choose to keep this 'time-out', to have no picture showing or to have it always on.

I prefer 'always on', as I like to see, what I listen to.

Bravo - thanks for that.

Now we just need Spotify to update their TV apps.

It's quite annoying that it's still based on the old "Starred" format. Spotify changed from "Starred" songs to "My music" quite some time ago. And all music located in the new folders are not shown in the TV-app.

That's great! Permanent displaying of audio source is back! Never understood why they changed it. Was very annoying indeed.

Nice update regarding the screen blanking
Also the 'Teletekst' issue that we experienced in NL has now been solved.
Hope they will add ALAC support for home media in a next update.

Will try it soon, thanks for that.
I got the update on my avant and v1 also. Still can't let speaker group be left unchanged when changing source. Very annoying. Very.

Start Avant

Select menu

Select Source list

Place the cursor on a source

Select red-button (set-up)

Select Advanced setting

Select Speaker groups; adjust to the preferred group

Store settings

 

Repeat for all sources and choose the same speaker group for all the sources.

 

Than at least, with most normal day to day use  you will have NO switching of groups between different sources

 

Here's the text from the HELP (blue button) when you're in the choices for the new Picture Off setting with the SW Update:

<<

Selecting NEVER means that the screen switches on, when you select the audio source and the picture/menu remains on the screen. However, you can remove the picture from the screen by using the remote control cue 'PICTURE OFF'

>>

Shouldn't the description state "PICTURE MUTE" as the remote control function to use, or is "PICTURE OFF" a valid term on the BeoRemote One or more modern remote?

Maybe it's just me, but I can't for the life of me see why you would want to do that?  Surely that would completely defeat the purpose of having speaker groups anyway?

These are two eays of hadling speakers group.

Even if they wanted to do Michael that favour, I am not sure, that it would be possible to implement both - at least not if you want to maintain simplicity of using the speaker groups.
