Yes that is what I thought. But I still maintain cabling will be an issue? Steve at SH doesn’t have anything suitable on his website. Perhaps I’ll drop him a line.

This are straithforward Powerlink and Datalink cables!
I now see your remark about the “speaker 2, 4 pin Datalink outlet”. Don’t go that way….. use a Powerlink and a Datalink cable. For sure Steve will sell these.

So essentially, you are using a USC stick as a playlist? Smart – so you could have several USBs each with a playlist. Curious – you mention that the Encore accepts M3U format – but then that there were problems accepting a music server with such files? Wouldn’t that suggest that Encore does not accept M3U?

Actually I use only one. I place the playlist files in one directory.
The tags of the music files are changed:
The original tracktittle  is changed to “Tittle – Artist
The artistname in the tag is changed to “name of playlist”
The albumartistname is deleted

To start the selection, goto Artist in the Encore, search the “playlistname” in this specific case the “artist” = the “playlistname” and start to play.

this is the result:

 

 

As stated before the Encore accept M3U. My problem was the Encore stopped scanning my DLNA server after processing the M3U. Thus I found this a good alternative.

I’m considering getting an Encore. I know tracks be added to playlists one-by-one on the navigation wheel, but that is cumbersome, especially when editing playlists. So, can the Encore read pre-existing playlists from music servers (in M3U format?). For me, the Encore would be the perfect music machine, but only if it can read playlists.

The Beosound 5 Encore accepts the M3U format.
But I had some issues with the acceptence of my DLNA server on the BS5e when it contained M3U files, so for playlists I use a USB stick with my favourite music files.
Thus the source A.Mem is for playlists and the source N.Music for all other.

That looks fantastic! ‘Just what I am trying to achieve. I need to get a Beolink NL/ML Converter. ‘Working on it already. The Beomaster 7000 needs to be controlled through the “speaker 2” 4 pin DIN Datalink outlets by the converter by the look of it? How are you connecting to the NL/ML converter? I have a Masterlink/Datalink converter which I think may be required but connecting to that, 2X 4 pin DIN to 1 8-pin DIN looks like an impossible cable?

The Beomaster 7000 is Datalink & Powerlink connected (2 cables) to a T1611, which is ML connected to the BLC.

 

@Steph: I use mainly a Beoplay charger but also the direct USB C.

Are you playing the BS9000/ 7000CD through a core? I am interested to see how you have connected up? And how are you selecting source? I have the new Halo update. I don’t see any numbers anywhere?

The Beosystem 7000 is connecter to a BLC the BS9000 to another BLC.

Selecting a number changes which CD is playing on the BS9000. To select tracks you have to use previous and next.

Selecting a number (or combination of numbers), the appropiate CD track is played on the Beogram CD 7000.

some other features:

[Carolpa]

simple answer: Yes

I start the BS9000 als source of the Shape. Then one can select which cd to play by selecting a number (new in this sw version)
I will post pictures later today.

I didn’t try to select a tracknumber on the BS9000 after a certain CD is playing, but on my BS7000 CD I can now select a track.

How to update the list of radio stations on Beosound 5 Encore? All the information I have seen so far about N.Radio database applies only to BS 5 , not Encore. As Encore is Linux based and BS 5 is Win XP, none of that information is useful. Thanks in advcance for any advice. Cheers Alan

I do not use Net Radio on my Encore, so never sought the functionallity to update the stations, but after a mains off/on cycle I always see the Encore do a Radio search….

@BeoMedia, I borrowed my wife’s iphone and verified that one CANNOT share Airplay from an ASE (BS1) or Mozart (Balance) device to a ML device (BS5) via ML/NL converter. Some sources, you can switch. If I’m listening to Deezer or B&O Radio, and start my turntable, then the audio sent to the ML device changes to the turntable. However, with Airplay, the ML device switches off as soon as I start playing Airplay on the linked ASE/Mozart device. Stan

did you try by connecting an IR-eye to the BLC and press the join button on the eye?

I’m pretty sure it’s only the TVs that have ever been able to connect to other speakers wirelessly – no Beosound ‘system’ ever has. The Transmitter 1 is a standalone Wisa transmitter box that you can connect a stereo or 5.1 audio system (B&O or otherwise) to and then connect to 2/2.1/5.1 WISA speakers wirelessly. Most recently the Beosound Theater can connect to other WISA speakers wirelessly. I think those are the only B&O optiobs

Beosound Moment can!

[Carolpa]

This means, that you can no longer have this rather quick access to turn off the screen (as described above in my original post)….which is a pity.

Am I really the only one, who wants to turn off the LG screen, when I listen to a music album (mostly in Atmos) from the Apple Music app on my AppleTV – or when I use my Blu Ray player as a CD player???

How can removing features be progress 😡

MM

No, you’re not the only one
But I find it even after the update simple.

On the BR1 I have to choose  “list” and then “option”. The LG screen displays the LG setting. The “default” (=last used) then is “Screen Off”.

Not completely related ro no screen from an HDMI source but I’m wondering if apple music would be better quality if not streamed through airplay but directly from a Mac mini to the BS Theatre. My intention is as follows: Mac Mini M4 Pro (with HDMI 2.1) and link the HDMI into one of the Theatre ports. The playback would be then sent digitally to the Theatre I assume? The Question is, weather this signal is better quality when the Theatre streams to BL28 and BL8 without the Airplay conversion to AAC 256kbps before sending it to the receiving speakers. So in the end I hope the Mac mini can output a signal that is one on one received by the BS Theatre over HDMI and sent ‘clean’ in 24/48 or 24/96 (B&O removed the bitrate fro the website specs) Thanks for any advice or sharing your own experiences

Why not install the Apple Music app directly on your TV ?

I must have missed this concern because I didn’t have a BLC when it was raised. It’s not ideal but can’t you just go into the BLC’s ‘Tools’ menu occasionally and clear the system log? (Having said that, the only entries in my BLC system log are from today and I don’t remember clearing it after my experiments last week)

I just checked the NL/ML Converter’s ‘System Log’ today and all the 9 Oct messages have disappeared. Perhaps one of the recent SW updates* makes the Converter clear the log data daily to avoid filling the memory? * EDIT: Actually I don’t think there have been any SW updates since 2015, so now not so sure about this!

I checked my 5 BLC: all show todays logs only.
Actually I do think they have pushed (minor) changes/update(s) to BLC’s before (without notice, without date change of latest update).

 

The changes to the B&o app seams to me a (possible) logic vision:

• the BLC becomes/is the ML connector and should be used with the previous types of products (Essense mkII, Beoplay 6, BS35, M3, etc…) and should be setup as the described way around.
• the BeoConnect Encore becomes the USB intermediate to connect older products/sources the the Mozart platform where these sources are an integral source of that Mozart product.

I use BLC’s a lot and the best and easiest way to controll and use is, to have only one ML product connected to a BLC which is integrated as Primary Beolink product to a NL device.

Hi, thank you for your suggestion but i like to use the remote control of the system as well. I think for that there is no other way then bypassing the RIAA?

but giving the ATape2 command to the BC9500 should start the BG4500. The only “odd” thing you experience is the use of ATape2.

So today I am trying the NL/ML converter connected just to my BC2300 via a BL1611. I have removed my Essence Mk2 from the setup (and B&O app) to avoid conflicts.

You can integrate the BC2300-T1611-BLC and Essence mkII without any conficts.

 Anyone know if I can change settings to access the BC2300’s FM RADIO via the B&O app? EDIT: I have tried putting the BC2300 in A.OPT 0, and then adding an IR sensor to the NL/ML Converter – I have IR mapped the ML sources. I can select all mapped BC2300 sources (including RADIO) using the Beo4, but the RADIO source still does not appear in the app.

Somewhere down the line, they skipped the Radio sources from ML.
Presumably to have the BLC setup in line with the Beoconnect Encore settings. The BeoSystem 9000c is using the B&o Radio source of the BL28’s and not the original BS9000 Radio source.

Note: in the Beoliving app the original Radio sources are still available.

workaround: if you add the Essence mkII to the setup, you could add the ML sources of the BC2300 as Essence mkII sources (In the Essence configuration: Link to other products; Connect to primary Beolink product; check the boxes for the available sources in Content-Sources-Local)
Then it is possible to start the BC2300 Radio on the Essence mkII

[Carolpa]

why not connect the BG4500 to ATape2 of the BC9500? Then you do not need to bypass the RIAA…

and you could leave both recordplayers connected

Thank you! That being said, it does suck that there’s basically no way to actually play music at the bit depth & sample rate that the Core is capable of.

the easiest way is to add your Tidal subscription to the B&o app.

alternative:  add your Tidal supscrition to Audirvana Studio and upnp stream directly to the Core.

If the stage is disconnected, either hdmi or mains, it doesn’t happen. 2.30am and again at 3.30am. It has to be a timer. I have just checked the log to my Fritz! router to see if that is doing anything, but doesn’t seem to be. I also have BT homehub discs only. Fibre provider is zen. Just mentioning in case network is waking it and someone has the same hardware.

Is a device Bluetooth connected to the stage?

Is the Stage set to automatically receive update?

 

[Carolpa]

what happens does it happen, if you unplug (only) the Stage from the mains?
