I tried with Beosound Essence mk2.

And A6

Bought a new Beoremote yesterday and here are some things I discovered while testing:

Probably bugs:

* On BeoPlay M3 + M5 the remote lists ALL sources from connected devices instead of the Local Source List that is used in both the App and for local souce selection
* The Music-button on a Beo4-VIDEO product (in my case the V1) directly starts the Radio (so without pressing 'GO'). I don't even want to use the Radio button, but it can't be deleted. I just want Join, but cannot Join current Music-playback because the Radio-button has already switched my M5 to Radio.

Features/good to know:

* You can add TuneIn-stations to the MyButtons
* The MyButtons are Product-specific
* Light and Control-buttons are programmed as standard on BeoPlay M3 and M5. So I guess you can use the BeoRemote for home control even if you have programmed it with just NL sound products.

Wishlist:

* Better Deezer-control e.g. programming a Playlist/Artist on a MyButton or in a Favorites list so you can have 10 "shortcuts" for selection from the remote (maybe this can be achieved with the BeoIntelligence?)
* Programming system-wide MyButtons (e.g. "Kitchen Speaker Join")

Ditto. Because of this, I just bought another M5 and my first Beosound Core. Planning on getting a BR One.

Spotify (Connect) is not a built-in source and can not be shown or activated.

In the app you also need to go ‘outside’ to activate music playback from Spotify = use the native Spotify app.

There is a tv - and there is a BV.

I have paired my new BeoRemote One BT with my Beoplay M5, and it is possible to save Spotify in a MyBotton.

Just press and hold the desired MyBotton for a few seconds when listening to Spotify, and you will be able to activate Spotify Connect again where you left it using that MyBotton. The app will show you the functionality of each of the 4 MyBottons:

For me it is not working on a core in the bathroom. I have a core a BLGW for lights. I want lights on the my favorite button, I cannot get it done after pairing....

If I use IR Mode no problem?

And what happens, when you in the meantime have activated e.g TuneIn on the M5 - or when you have used Spotify (Connect) on the iDevice with headphones or with another device?

I can use Spotify on my BV11/Core integrated setup, play TuneIn on the M5, and after that the MyButton still activates Spotify on the M5.

In fact I can also save Spotify in a MyButton on the BV11/Core integrated setup (using ir control on the TV) and it works after using other sources on the TV. It also works after all my devices have been turned off.

@Dyssegaard

Thanks for clarification (that is really better, than I had expected).

And it is really a big plus for having Spotify Connect on the NL devices.

I can’t understand why they have taken this out of the M3, the BS1/2 GA versions, the Edge and the coming A9/MK3 😕

Is there a limit on Beoremote One on how many favorites from TuneIn that will be shown? On my Beoremote One paired with Beosound Essence I cannot browser through the full list of favourite stations.

I have paired my Beoplay M5 with my Beoremote One BT, and my 16 favorites (placed in the “General” folder in TuneIn) are all visible on the Beoremote.
