This expert mode hardly seems like it’s worth the effort.

Hi Beroli,

 

Thanks for your reply.

 

I have tried many things to get my selfmade artist tiles back, but with several collection updates and the reconfigures from the DLNA menu the artist tiles still doesn't reappear. Even with the reconfigure and system reset from the Reset menu.

I have sent B&O already a e-mail about this. I hope they will fix this asap.

This is weird ....

I just tried the following:

To replace a managed artist image by another one
To replace a Gracenote artist image by a managed one
To add a missing artist image

It took only one Manual Refresh cycle to get all the above applied.

I don't know what to say as you did what had to be done as discussed previously.

It worked perfect in the previous beta and believe me it looks great, if every tile is filled with the right artis image and there are no permanent scans, because it uses all the tags in your dlna-collection. I like it.

Hi Beroli - Talking about tags, how are your DLNA albums sorted when opening an artist tile? (pls remind me your current DLNA server)

BS Moment, BL 18, BL 19, A6, M5, A1, H5

Hi mbolo01,

Currently testing Latest Beta on TwonkyServer (installed on a Mac mini). Albums are sorted mostly new to old, if year is within the Tags.

Cheers Beroli

I discovered that Twonky does not always expose the correct date set in the Tags.

With the new Twonky "By Date" UI view introduced in 8.5 version, I found several exceptions. Looking closer at some albums that obviously were not placed in the correct era, I could find that their release year was correct in iTunes, same in Metadatics (OSX Tag editor) but when using another DLNA controller that takes care of date exposed by the DLNA server, album release year is completely different, e.g. 2033 v.s. 1992 in iTunes.

Next, expecting the sorting performed by the Moment to be the same than the DLNA renderer app, assuming the Moment reads and leverage the year tag, I have differences and inconsistencies.

I opened a ticket with Twonky to start with and B&O is already aware about the sorting issue.

PS: Twonky 8.5 running on QNAP or OSX translates the date TAG value to another for the same albums.

Hi mbolo01,

thank you for your explanation and the hint regarding Twonky 8.5. Never checked the Date order before since for me it was most important to have thr stuff in the right folder. But having the albums sorted in a historical order is of course the cheery on top. 😁

Cheers

For all the betatesters out there:

Warning! With the latest software released on friday 22th, my Moment lost almost all it's functionality. You will not be able to manually enter the setup menu.

I don't know if I'm the only one, But after downgrading, my Moment works again. I've done this sequence twice (upgrading/downgrading etc) with the same result.

Unless confirmed by B&O otherwise, I would wait with upgrading your software.

Quite a challenge to achieve "Less is More" while having the Beovirus.

hmmm, didn't have any troubles with the update. Everything is working as before and i am able to enter the setup menu.
