New Software Edge/Shape/Core/BS1/BS2/A9 (mk3/4)
in BeoSound · Jul 31, 2023 10:14UPDATE: bought a used GCC Audio and connected it to the Essence mk2 line-in (using a standard 3.5mm to RCA/cinch/tulp cable, the shorter the better!), and it works like a charm. The GCC Audio updated itself from 1.24.xxx…
New Software Edge/Shape/Core/BS1/BS2/A9 (mk3/4)
in BeoSound · Jul 30, 2023 11:48Good news is that my HK Citation speakers just got an update to Google Cast 1.56, and now they are working like a charm again with Google Home, including speaker groups, etc. Pity the Essence MK2 will probably not get it…

Chromecast built-in - working/not working?
in General Discussion & Questions · May 25, 2021 13:20Interesting to hear. My Essence MK2 updated on April 15th, from 1.25.42740.xxxx to 1.25.43618.xxxx and since then no more Google Authorization Errors in the log anymore, so that explains at least the better stability. Go…
Chromecast built-in - working/not working?
in General Discussion & Questions · May 25, 2021 09:57My Essence MK2 is also working "rather stable" now, no new firmware from B&O or GC, but it is workable now. When you change a lot during Google Home Group playback, it will stop playing in the end, but it is better then …
Chromecast built-in - working/not working?
in General Discussion & Questions · May 6, 2021 10:53[quote user="tiktak"] Sorry for the late reply. I wanted to test it thoroughly before giving a positive feedback. I am happy to say that I can now connect to my A6 and M5 via Chromecast. I can play for long time and is n…

in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 13, 2021 20:07[quote user="Hiort"]M5 and A6 have got updated. For me they now appear as they should as Chromecast devices and appear as playable in Google Home app. [/quote] Good news! What Google Cast (software) version do you have n…
Chromecast built-in - working/not working?
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 13, 2021 09:18[quote user="Millemissen"] Same here - still not fixed. On my Essence MK2 a daily reboot solves the issue.....why is a mystery. But after that it shows up in the Google Home/Spotify apps as a chromecast device and works …
Chromecast built-in - working/not working?
in General Discussion & Questions · Apr 3, 2021 14:31Thx for the update. Of course it is good they test it in advance, but when they think they have a working solution, release it as a beta and let us do the testing! 😐

Chromecast built-in - working/not working?
in General Discussion & Questions · Mar 8, 2021 08:26Thx, that's hopeful. With the latest fw upgrade it is little more stable, but still no really doable, so let's wait for the GC upgrade.

Chromecast built-in - working/not working?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 28, 2021 11:37But a pity that is not multi vendor, so you are locked-in to B&O. Similar with Denon HEOS, etc, etc . When (if?) Google Home / Cast is working as it should, it is the most easy way to have a multi brand, multi room syste…
Chromecast built-in - working/not working?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 24, 2021 17:31Short update: less than half an hour, at 18:29 (CET), it stopped working again, same error. Since I mainly stream to multiple speakers, using Google Home (Groups) it is very annoying, but ok. I stop testing now, and will…
Chromecast built-in - working/not working?
in General Discussion & Questions · Feb 24, 2021 17:09Ok, I followed Ulrike his suggestions, so I gave the B&O device a fixed IP address (out of the DHCP range) AND also reconnect my router. Since my provider gives customers a (semi) fixed external IP address, my external I…
