This behaviour is what I believe most people using TuneIn expects. That it cycles through your favorites, unless off course, you choose another station. but that is just the same as searching for a FM station, and find out you don't like it, so you just go back to your favorites.

For me at least, the Radio stations in my favorites, should work 100% like the stations preset on an FM radio, they should not be added to any queue, they should be treated as the "old" days ;)

A bit late to the party, but...

....I totally agree on this - this is the way it has to work.

A Radio station is not a playlist - it is a fixed stream, that you can add as a favourite/preset.

They easiest way to access the preferred radio station is to assign it to a number just like we do with a tv station.

Some like to access it directly, others like to skip through the list of favourites, but you need a fixed, easy understandable structure to do this.

Hi Webyx

We struggled a lot with radio and the queue structure on the products. You are right, in many ways radio stations doesn't make sense in a queue, as you say they never stop. The again it might, because it enables you to switch between the stations fast on the product or in the app. Then you have podcasts where the queue does make sense and you can actually combine them in the same queue, which is also a bit strange. In the end we decided to not make any assumption and force a specific user pattern on radio. We would let the users play around with it, using the build in playqueue concept, and get some user feedback, which we're now getting :) I do not yet have the magic bullet that will make radio work in the queue intuitively, we will adjust it over time and hopefully we will get there.

As for the radio favorites not working like they used to, we're aware of this and fixing it for the release in april. Stay tuned, pun intended ;)

Hi all,

Sorry i have absent for while. We're wrapping up the April release and will be shipping in a few days. Let me try to catch up with your questions. Let me know if i have missed anyone. 

@Henrik: We're aware that the integration with the Moment is still not as it should be. The Moment behaves a little different in many many of the API calls and makes it really hard to get right. We will keep on it. In regards to the sorting and filtering, yes we hear you and are looking at solutions. Think we will start simple by simply have a free text filter and work from there. I'll keep you posted.

@Chris: That sounds like something we should look at right away. Not sure, but Deezer should have a paging functionality. Android seems to handle large lists much worse than iOS unfortunately. Creating a bug on it now.

@djfairley89: Thank you for the kind words, much appreciated. Currently all standby is only in Active Sources accessible from the player top right. I feel this is too hidden. Long press on play/pause might work but how would you know it is there? Separate volume for alarms is a must, I'm surprised it is not there. I will forward your request to the product team. 

@Kiran: BV Avant NG is not in yet. Waiting on go ahead from the product team. We're working on the NL/ML but it is going to take a bit longer. The test matrix is daunting. Expect it this summer.

@Millemissen: TuneIn favorites will work like they do in BeMusic in the April release 0.9.5. As for the play queue, agreed we need to look at this. The queue concept for is a bit messy on the products and thats where we need to fix it. We're looking at it.

@Jans: Very close, in the next 3-4 days depending on platform. 

Thanks for all your input

Hi there Mr.Andersen......cant quite remember, but is DLNA support being added to the new app in the upcoming release?

Thanks for the communication

SandyB

Hi Sandyb

Yes it is. We just finished the concept work and started coding. Expected out in May.

Thomas

Ups too fast, no not the upcoming one sorry.

Hej Thomas,

there is another thread on the forum about the new app:

/forum/general-discussion-and-questions/bang-amp-olufsen-app#post-2080989

I posted a question on the app offering to use/configure Google Cast on my V1 tv there.

Would you be so kind to look into that as well?

MM

Me too, I'm starting to really like it.

There are a few features that I need to see before it's matured to me:

• Shuffle option really needs to be present, as does repeat functions
• Moodwheel integration would be really awesome. It's probably a product positioning thing, but nothing technical is stopping you to implement the MoodWheel in the app and thus bring it to the rest of the B&O portfolio. Personally I really like the MoodWheel, so to me it's a clear USP that should be pursued
• Check for software updates... I'm a nerd, I want my updates, and I want it in one place
• DLNA, as said before
