The Beosound Moment Beta 2.x thread

Hi Sully,

I have skyq and a sky router which to begin with was a nightmare but in recent months has worked well, so I don’t want to change too much.

I have checked that my wi fi channels are the ones not used by neighbours.

Today , the switch on listening experience has been good , but again I noticed that my BL 20 speakers had not switched off on standby.

I switched the system mains off for a minute restarted and have both channels working, and one cycle of standby and on again worked well in that the speakers logo switched off.

I waited a couple of minutes then switched on again, and it is working, it took 20 seconds to get the first track stable with good sound on two channels.

When the speakers are not going to standby the music starts with no delay.

Is it a problem if the speakers are left in the logo on state for days at a time?

I assume they don’t use much power when not playing music?

I posted earlier, but it doesn’t seem to have been received, so apologies if there are two similar posts

Did you try to do a reset on each speaker ?

Did you try to upgrade the firmware on the speakers (need Transmitter 1 or to go to your dealer) ?

Perhaps it could help ?

Wow, this is fantastic!  Now I just wish I could buy another Moment for my bedroom.  :-(

I have a second Moment for the bedroom and love it. I can start music on the Moment and carry the music over to the BeoLab 3500 in the ensuite shower. I have an Essence wall remote in the ensuite bathroom that is configured so that a short press plays the music from the Bedroom Moment and a long press plays the music from the living room Moment. I have a BeoLab 3500 and Essence wall remote in the guest bathroom configured the same way.

I was not aware of this possibility.

How do you configure the Essence remote to do that trick?

On the topic of bedrooms, the Moment has the alarm functionality now too so it can wake you up to the sound of your favorite radio station in the morning. To set it up use the latest version of the Bang & Olufsen App.

This is what i discovered while playing with the app and i informed the forum on March 12 in this thread.

Question: why don’t B&O communicate better when new features are available?

Talking about the app: when will we see a better integration with the Moment? particularly the album cover management when DLNA music is initially controlled from the JukeBox.

Thanks for your feedback about improving our communication. When you discovered the feature via the preview version of the B&O app we were still ‘evaluating the experience’ and had not decided yet whether we would release. However it was immediately very well received (and essentially came for free) so we decided to release even without UI on the Jukebox. As the Moment is discontinued it was decided not to make broader communication.

Regarding the DLNA improvements you ask about, we have improvements in the pipeline and will reach out selectively when ready to test with different systems. (Unfortunately, for a ‘standard’ there is a lot of variety to be managed with DLNA).

How do you configure the Essence remote to do that trick?

 

It's all in the mapping on the NL/ML Converter. Since I rarely use TuneIn, I chose to map the "Radio" function from ML to trigger a "Music" function on the second Moment.

I was more wondering how you can set the remote to do different things dependent on "long press" or "short press".
