Having lent Robert a helping hand (he has replied via email that he has not had time to do some tests) I go stuck into trying to get the last version of LinkPlayer 2 Beta working in my environment.

I tried many combinations of parameters and it is still frustratingly not quite perfect:

  1. the Beovision 8-40 speakers still do not activate (this you may recall was a problem that started with the upgrade last year to Lion, but Philippe had solved it, until I upgraded the TV !)
  2. And for that reason I can no longer run it in media-centre mode, and I have to use the Mac's GUI/mouse interface to fiddle with various menus to get it working
  3. But I can once again distribute music on the Master Link

Emboldened by this success and the arrival of Spotify in Australia, I decided to set up a Spotify (premium as demanded by LP2) account, and get it going under LinkPlayer.

In the end I was successful and I have been enjoying free flowing music πŸ™‚

Well the above all happened on Melbourne Cup Day ... I took a gamble with the set-up and I sort of had it kludgy working.

I posted the above long thread all about how I successfully re-established a working dual audio environment (HDMI and analogue) using the MULTI-OUTPUT definitions in the Audio MIDI tool of OSZ Mountain Lion ...

I then went on one of my working stints and I was away from home for 10 days ... and on my return I discovered that somehow the system had become unworkable again πŸ™

I am 110% confident that none of the family would have fiddled with the settings for a host of reasons ... so I am at a loss as to what might have gone awry.

Anyway I spent one weekend trying to get the HDMI working again to no success, and last weekend I got seriously stuck into re-boot, re-seating cables, deleting definitions, adding definitions (using the process I documented above !) and all to no avail 😠

So as I just noted in another thread I have gone back to the simple interface of BM-Link and an analogue port and no media centre.

I still do not have an MacMini Audio out on my HDMI πŸ™ but at least I have a reliable ML N.Music distribution and a hack to how I can distribute Spotify as N.Radio ...

I sincerely hope that Philippe does pick up LinkPlayer 2 beta again, and amongst other things works out how to make the HDMI connection stable, but in the mean time I just want to listen to music 

And for movies and shows I am using the iPad Apps (including Plex) to Airplay to the ATVs

So I echo the most recent post's sentiments ... Please Philippe give us a LinkPlayer Christmas present Gift

Yes, I have returned once more to the LP 2 beta ... I thought I would give it one more last chance πŸ˜‚

MULTI-OUTPUT πŸ€’

And so it is working using the above definition ... EXACTLY the above definition ... the other week when it was not working I had the HDMI first in the list ... seems I need to have it after after the analogue port 

I really do dislike IT when the rules seem to be based on some form of black magic rather that any intellectual logic

 

Anyway, whinges apart, it is all working again, and I have been operating this way since Thursday, i.e. some 3 days now

But using LinkPlayer 2 beta 4.11 for some tests to answer another forum post/query resulted in me loosing the audio again.

So my conclusion is that I can set this up, use it with BM-Link, Spotify and even Linkplayer version 1 ... but it will not work more than once with LinkPlayer 2 Ick! 😠

Hi maybe you will like also this /forum/general-discussion-and-questions/beomaster-1000-integration-with-iphone-airplay

 

Having problems with my new Iphone 5 to get Linkremote to work. Tried the link above but it just says "Safari couldnΒ΄t install because a unknown problem".

Do you have any tips?

Hi Phil,

 

the newest version is really cool. I really like the menubar controls. Thank you very much!

As someone noted before, the remote is reloading itself every 10-20 minutes. When are you planning to update Linkplayer?

Cheers.
