Hi CB, Hope all is well for you.

You see the add too? 30€? 😁

Location: Paris France

Exactly 🙂

May be from a Beoworlder?

My “new” BS Essence mk1 has firmware version 4189 from 2018-05-22

Is there a better one?

Thanks

That’s the latest I’ve been able to find.

Thank you, TWG!

Thank you Lawrence for your answer.

This BS Essence mk1 may have an issue... may be several:

- I can reach the configuration web page and enter my wifi settings, but on the software page, the frame for manual update is simply not there !?!

- Neither the BeoTool app nor the BeoMusic app nor the GoogleHome app can see it on my network

- but... I can play music via AirPlay !

I also tried a reset, nothing changed

Quite odd 😮

You have to use the IP-Adress of the Essence and enter the adress manually into your browser. Log into your router and search for your essence in the network. There you'll see an adress with the syntax e.g. 192.168.2.231

This is the adress you'll type into your browser and then you should see the configuration page of your Essence without any App, Google / Apple Assistant etc.
There you should see the manual update button on the software page.

Thank you TWG, that’s already what I did.

For the manual update button, it's ok now (it’s only visible from a computer, not from an iPad !)

NB: The BeoplayRemote GUI can see the Essence on my network, but because no music service is configured, nothing happened if I press play of course.

The main issue is still there: only Airplay works Erm..

May be flashing it again with the latest FW (or an older...) may solve something ?

--> if a smart Beoworlder accept to send me the link... Thanks 🙂

My Essence Mk Is are packed away right now. From memory:

- TuneIn works.

- AirPlay works

- I’ve never tried Chromecast, Spotify, DLNA or Deezer

- It’s not Netlink compatible

- Essence remote controls it in Bluetooth mode.
