BM-Link & MacOS Sierra?

17 replies

Like Peter (Vercu) I have the "volume" problem.

I can control the BM-Link via the BeoPort to start and to skip tracks etc.

However no sound is coming out via my headphone jack to the beoport.

I recall this is a problem that started several years ago; and I had to use the Apple MIDI app to assign audio channels.

I made copious posts at the time :) but over the years my use of BM-Link and Linkplayers I & II had faded to just testing their installs.

On the other hand the iTunes (controlled by the BM-Link - BeoPort - Beo4 combination) is happily Bluetoothing to the Essence in another room ....

What about the Beoconnect app on the Mac to transfer files to the BeoMaster 5? Mine will no longer function since the MacOs Sierra update. Not having any luck either with manually mapping the BeoMaster server. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Hello Gary

I have the same problem after update to MacOS Sierra. I have asked in the store where I bought my BeoMaster 5 if they have heard about that. I have not got an answer yet even though it is more than a week ago so I expect that they need to update the BeoConnect programme.

In the meantime I have found out that it is possible to connect to the BeoMaster Server directly. Go to the Finder. Under "Go" -> "Connect to Server". In the Serveradress you write "smb://beomaster5".

Hope that helps for you until an update for BeoConnect is available.

Work-around:

· In order to move music to the BeoMaster 5, you can map the library manually from Mac OS X Finder

· On BeoSound 5 in SETTINGS -> NETWORK INFO, the IP address of BeoMaster 5 is written

· On Mac, open Finder - in top bar select "GO" - "Connect to server"

· In server address type: smb:///bm-share$

· Provide 'BM-USER' as user and the password stored in SETTINGS -> NETWORK SETTINGS -> CLIENT PASSWORD on BeoSound 5

· Now select the server in Finder: Shared -> IP-address of BM5 -> Music. (or if "connected servers" are shown on desktop -> choose the "BM-SHARE$" icon)

· You are now able to drag and drop files from your computer to the music library on BeoMaster 5

There won't come an update for BeoConnect.

Thanks Alleyman, this worked a treat on macOS High Sierra!
