Install it on the PC not on the BS5, thus the “C”

Thank you. First time i worked with "Twonky" ! Running, but, NO M.VIDEO files. That means i can play/manage AUDIO, put not M.VIDEO. (mp4) And there is no "Harddisc Z:" shown on display. Must be connected, because the AUDIO files, but noch M.VIDEOS.  Same like Beo/Twonky - Plaayer. No Video files. I play them on "Z:" right klick - playback on - BEOMASTER5. That works well.  (But only on PC, not on Laptop and Phon)   Thank you for your help.

1. PC with Twonky and BS5 and your phone are all on the same network?

2. Did you add the directories in Twonky where it can find the media (audio AND video)?

3. To be sure - you do not expect to view MP4 video's on your BS5?

:-) Thanks for help, runnig well....

1.  - same network....

2. - ....... it took a lot of time...... (did not expect)  running slow..... !!

3. - only................   :-) suuuupersound ;-)  

           Thanks from Vienna.

Hello Wild Ruedi

congratulations for having replaced the HDD to SSD; really interesting.

Being the HDD of my BS5 (1Tb capacity) almost full, I would need to replace the original HDD for a SSD with more storage capacity.

Did you try to do that? Do you think it's possible?

Thank you in advance

B&O fan since adolescence. I have a multi room audio-video system with Master Link connection. In 2016 integrated the system with Beosound 5. I'm satisfied 'cause I use it for hours everyday, but sometimes any device need reparation.

Hello, about Spotify, is still possible to use it through BS5?

In case, what should I do to do it?

Regards

HI, thank you for the reply. Sorry, I have no experience with larger SSD. At first sight, Ican not see a problem, try and let us know! Best regards Ruedi

Spotify is no more in business with B&O. Please search the forum for more advice.
