After yesterdays update it is not possible anymore to change a playlist number by pressing the up-down button on the BEO4, when using only a ML system as the Beolink Passive.

It is only working again when I activate a NL system as my V1 together with the Beolink Passive.

Hi Beroli, Thanks for the info

Just found out that the same occurs with my BL2000, up-down button is not working anymore as long you don't activate a NL product in 'join' mode. No change of music numbers possible with a command of those buttons to the BLC .

But if you use a playlist feeding from Twonky, you can change a music number by pushing the red button for a couple of seconds. Same works for the playlists started from Deezer. If this was also possible before the new update, I never tried it.

Change of radiostations is not possible with the above method, you have to push a number for changing radiostations.

Think it has something to do with the BLC, they must have done a change in software commands after the update for whatever reason. Maybe another setting in my BLC will do the trick. See what happens...

Hi all,

For anyone who is interested what Beocare replied to my complain about the latest Moment update and Multiroom..

Problem:Since the last Moments update the star-shaped buttons (step up-down) are not working anymore on a Beo4 for changing a track playing from the Moment. The star-shaped step up-down buttons are only working if you listen Moment to NL device or NL + ML device, not if you exclusively listen on a ML product.

Solution: None till now, Beocare R&D team asked me to restart the whole system (what I did before some several times) and is investigating this problem deeper with the aid of my logfiles. They do not admit in the mail that this function is lost but also not that it should be working.

They also investigate why my playlist coming from the DLNA server or Deezer suddenly stops playing and places the whole system to standby when listening only on a ML product. Will be continued...

Hi Chris,

thank you for your efforts. It seems, that B&O can extract many useful stuff from the submitted error logs. The Logfiles must be quite big - sometimes it takes minutes to transfer them. I have forwarded the Deezer-stops suddenly-issue too. It is strange and it appeared exactly after the latest update. If you lift the back-plate you will see messages like: can't play ... .Very awkward indeed.

In the last weeks I connected the Moment to several Servers (Twonky 7, Twonky 8, Raspberry with Twonky 7 and now Twonky 8, Synology 412+,) to test the latest update. Unfortunately I have to say, that some things regarding a NAS (without Twonky) are worse than before. I can not give any recommendation to use a DLNA-NAS instead of a Twonky-based-Server. It seems that the latest update needs a more powerful Server, the mac-mini-twonky-solution is smooth and fast regarding covers... - but the Twonky-raspberry-solution is now much slower - same Network, nothing changed in the configuration. It seems B&O is testing new ways of "reading" a DLNA-Server. For example processing 28000 files from my macmini took exactly 28 hours. The same content on the NAS (without Twonky) needed more than 40 hours including new errors.

Cheers Beroli

As some of you seems to be in touch with B&O development team you should strongly suggest them to use and recommend the DLNA server from J River, 

J River is running on PC, MAC and Linux and  they have probably made the best  DLNA implementation on standard platform

B&O  could also directly use the Jriver library  ( because JRiver  library is very very fast and reliable)  but I am afraid that it will be not compliant with B&O strategy

You can try J River with your Moment for free for 1 month 

precision : I have no financial interest with J River, i simply have tested and used Twonky, Synology and Jriver  DLNA implementations

Hi Facel, Did you actually tried the JRiver implementation on the Moment as a DLNA server? I and others would be interested about your findings. I did not try it, not yet.

Sorry Chris but I have not yet invested into a Moment ...  maybe one day .. because the Moment concept is quite close to my initial choice 5 years ago ?

          My personnal Moment  solution is made of    Origenae Touch screen + silent PC running Jriver  

          My NL/ML converter is made with another silent PC running Jriver connected to my BV 7

          All my music + JRiver Library is located on a Synology NAS and I also can acces my music from anywhere  either trhough JRiver or through DS audio from Synology
