My Beomaster 5 is broken again. If i want to replace my Beosound 5 with a BS Moment, using only the NAS function and my personal music library, is this a good idea?

My Beosound Moment works better with my DLNA music library (Twonky server) than it does with Deezer. I have read that, depending on the NAS used, some peoples’ Moment may have problems connecting with it. This happens only rarely with my system, and the cause is usually a temporary wifi or network glitch.

Same over here!
I use Minimserver for my DLNA music library.

And in contrary to a remark in one of the earlier post: TuneIn still works on my Moment (at least the broadcasts I use)

What app is this? Looking pretty cool and quite different from my B&O app.

this is the beta version of the B&o app. But the latest app store release looks similar (if I’m correct)

The two tagged sources are joined.

Correct

What about the linked source?

Not quite sure what you mean, to me Joined and Linked are more of the same.

In the Beolink settings in my devices there is an option to enable Airplay over Multiroom. In a recent dialogue with B&O support, they said I should de-select this box since its being replaced by Airplay 2. I recently tested a usecase I have and that is Airplay from my iPhone to my Beosound 1 GVA, and joining that play with my Beovision 11. That possibility seem not to be working anymore. Anyone have same experience?

Still working over here!
Played DLNA to BP A6 multiroomed to BL8 and Moment. Started music on my iPhone and Airplayed it to the BP A6. Now all three devices are playing “Band on the Run”.

[Carolpa]

just another idea: throw a BLC (optional: with IR connected) in the mix

1. BS9000 – ML connected to the BLC
2. BG6500 – line in connected to BLC or AUX connected to the BS9000
3. Connect BT transmitter to PL of BS9000
4. Set BLC as VMaster
5. BL18 connected to the Moment

All sources to be listened by headphone go through the BS9000; all to be listened with the BL18 through the Moment.

for me the only unknown solution is the PL connected BT transmitter. But maybe MM and/or Guy do have an opinion about that.

Hello

did you check the box for BEO9500 Radio on the Experience mapped to NL page?
My Beomaster 7000 Radio source is shown; see below!

note: the difference to your system and mine: I do have additional NL devices and the Beosystem 7000/BLC combo is set as “connect to (primary)” to a BS35. So as mention before, maybe you’re confronted with BLC limitations.

I’ve changed the lease time to one hour to see if the interval in the critical error log would also change, but it didn’t. The M3 with the fixed IP also reconnects every 24 hours. I’ll take it up with B&O support. Mozart based products don’t show this behavior, so I think it’s somewhere coded in the ASE product firmware.

Is automatic software update on the M3 enabled? If so I would switch one off and control what happens

Hi all, I have several BeoPlay M3 speakers connected to a Ruckus Unleashed network. I’ve noticed in the critical error log of the speaker that every night the speakers reconnect to the Wi-Fi network. Each speaker at a different time in the night, but with an exact interval of 24 hours. I’m trying to figure out what’s causing this behavior. Is it the speaker that initiates the reconnect or is it the Wi-Fi network? Does anybody else uses Ruckus for their Wi-Fi and has seen the same behavior?

is the lease time for an IP address in your router set to 24h?
set, to try out, one M3 to a fixed IP address

Hi suhy2, according the MCP 6500 manual, you need to press SET, to store the settings you want it to start with: Hope this helps. Johan

or with a BL1000 set the volume, press sound, store. (principle is the same on Beo4, but correct buttons can be hidden in the menu’s; see the beo4 manual)

Hi there, i have replaced the SMD capacitors on the Masterlink board in the BS9000 before connecting back in the system and have tried every instruction i have received from you guys, but… the BS9000 is still not visible in the Masterlink Gateway and I don´t have the sound. I have tried : disconnect everything from the mains i have set up the BS9000 with beolink 4 to A.Option 0. there is no reaction on Beovision 11 tv to setting option V.OPT 2 with beolink 4 there is no option like this to set up Beovision 11 tv to setting option V.OPT 2 with BeoRemote one. If I choose CD with beoremote one I hear radio, same if I choose radio with the remote. I post some pictures from setup Masterlink Gateway, I can´t find anywhere the BS9000. I have created the service report as archive XXX.tar.gz file. But i don´t know where to find the communication between Masterlink Gateway and BS9000 in this report?? Or what is name of this file including communication report??

First a note: you keep mentioning a Masterlink Gateway. But do you  have a Masterlink Gateway AND a Beolink Converter NL/ML in your setup? Please note that they are complete different devices. For this discussion I presume you only have a Beolink converter NL/ML (BLC).

Go to Configuration /  Setting of the BLC
Set the ML role to ASlave (confirm with Save) – no speakers connected to the BLC and/or BS9000
Set “connect to (primary)” in Networklink to Beovsion11-46 (as displayed; confirm with Save)
Go to Configuration / Experience mapped to NL
check the appropriate boxes (CD, A.Aux, Radio)

Start BV11 and open Menu
search for “connect to (primar)” in the menu structure (I do not have a BV11 anymore and don’t know where it is located; maybe someone else can elaborate)
set to BLC; confirm that it uses the BV11 speakers.

Now the BS9000 should start with the CD command from the Beo4.

Remark: be sure that on the page IR mapping no other source is connected to the remote CD command. There it must say CD starts CD and no other source!

Hi all Can I have some help please I am trying to get me Beomaster 5 to turn the Eclipse on , so the Beomaster can play through the speakers connected to the Eclipse I have only just set up my Beoremote one BT to turn on the Beomaster 5 but when I turn it off it goes to TV on the screen I feel it is not configured correctly in the ML /NL convertor any help would be good

Beouser66 is right there is no “direct” solution to start/stop both.
Note: if you have only the BV Eclipse and BS5 playing together, you can stop all by pressing the STBY button for 3 s. Then the whole system is set to standby.

Please post some pictures of the BLC setting. That’s the only way to correctly evaluate the BLC settings.

By pure accident I found if hit A.TAPE on my Beo4 remotes and the signal is received by Beolink Converter ML/NL, it activates Deezer on my Beoplay A6. This works on my “DVD” Beo4 and on my older “AV” Beo4. The various status are: • If the A6 was on standby, A.TAPE turns on Deezer, A6 remains on volume zero, Deezer plays on BC ML/NL Powerlink speakers. To get A6 to play, just touch its volume bar on the B&O app. • If the A6 was playing Spotify, A.TAPE plays Deezer on A6 and BC ML/NL speakers. • If the A6 was playing B&O Radio, A.TAPE plays Deezer on A6 and BC ML/NL speakers. • If the A6 was playing N.MUSIC, CD, RADIO, etc. (legacy sources), A.TAPE plays Deezer on A6 and BC ML/NL speakers. Perhaps this is widely known, but it is news to me. This function is unlike JOIN, which plays locally whatever else is playing on the network; nor is it like the “O” button at the top of the Essence remote, which plays/switches audio sources at each keypress. Are there other buttons on old hardware which call up other music sources from wireless hardware?

That’s not by accident!
That’s no dedicated button of the Beo4!
That’s how the IR was set in the BLC –  goto Configuration, IR mapping in the setup

I would like to explain the essence of the purchase of the beo converter nl/ml, it was to be used to remotely control the beo9500 via an application on the phone. I prefer to have the speakers connected to the beo9500, the sound is then controlled by this device.

if you give f.e. the CD command with the app, the NL side thinks okay I have to play the CD, but because in the app you have chosen the BLC as device, the CD has to be played on the BLC connected speakers.
The app can’t start the CD to play on  BC9500 with speakers connected (and no speakers connected to the BLC) for the simple reason, the NL side doesn’t know it has only the BC9500 connected or does it have additional ML devices (for example a BL Passive and a BL3500) connected. So should it start the BC9500 or a BL Passive or a BL3500 or all or……..

Though presumably this would be possible with Beoliving Intelligence added to the mix. edit: this must be a Beolink Gateway.

So the best chance to achieve somehow your goal: connect the speakers to the BLC (one possible restriction: I do not know (never tried) if a sole BLC does work correctly as a NL system)

 

[Carolpa]

Connections:
BC9500 – PL + AAL – Beolink T1611 – Masterlink – BLC

BLC Setup: No speakers connected to BLC
Configuration -setting -ML role: ASlave
Configuration -experience mapped to NL: check the boxes Radio, CD, Atape (note: you can rename to f.e. (9500Radio, 9500CD…)

B&o App:
add the BLC

What I’m missing in the above setting is a NL device and I do not see one in the described system!

So alternative: no additional NL device:

Connections:
BC9500 – PL + AAL – Beolink T1611 – Masterlink – BLC

BLC Setup: speakers CONNECTED to BLC
Configuration -setting -ML role: VMaster
Configuration -experience mapped to NL: check the boxes Radio, CD, Atape (note: you can rename to f.e. (9500Radio, 9500CD…)
B&o App:
add the BLC

Thanks for your input Caropla, but there is no BLC or ML involved in my setup.

Sorry I mixed up things because of the Master and Slaves mentioned.
In Netlink there are no Master and Slaves.

Still is it a bug? The settings are now that a device is always starting with the last played source.
Is is convenient? Is it the right philosophy? I’m still not made up my mind if it is right or wrong.

When I start a ML source on the BLC, the Balance can join. When I start a ML source on the BS1, the Balance cannot join even though it shows up in the multi-room device list.

Does the Balance JOIN if you select and hold (shortly) the (centre) play/pause button on the Balance?

The behavior you describe means B&O are trying to emulate the classic interface with new software and firmware, and have not considered all the edge cases. Report this behavior as a bug.

Agree. I have reported to B&O support. Lets see what they say.

Is this a bug? After some thoughts I would say not.
If you set the BLC “Primary” connected to your BS1, the ML sources connected to the BLC becoming sources of the BS1. So when you start the BS1. it starts with the latest played source.

Thus not a bug but a choice how the system should react.

 

You could skip setting the BLC as primary on the BS1 and add the BLC separately to the B&o app.
Open the B&o app, chose the BLC and select the ML source to be played. Then join the BS1 and/or M5

I have recently setup a 2nd hand BLC, and everything seems to be working properly in that I can listen to NL sources on my ML devices and vice versa. It all works fine except for 2 problems:

The ML sources only show up in the B&O App for devices configured in “Connect to (Primary)/(Secondary)”. Is the correct? I seem to remember it showing up in all devices.

Correct (for sure as Primary). But the sources are also visible on the BLC (if added to the B&o app). You can then start a source on the BLC and JOIN the others.

My stereo paired Balances do not seem to want to play ball with the ML sources. I can send its audio to ML, but I cannot get it to accept ML audio. The ML sources do not show up in its audio source choices in the B&O app even when configured as the “Connected to (Primary)”, and if I start sending ML to my BS1, I can multi-room the audio to every NL device I have except for the Balances. Is this a limitation of Mozart?

Correct. The Balance doesn’t have Primary/Secondary settings. So the ML sources can’t be added to the Balance as a source.

The Balance should accept the Multiroom of sources connected to your BS1 though. Did you try a manual JOIN already?

Bedankt voor je reactie, maar dit is bij mij niet het geval. Wanneer ik beide speakers mute dan zie ik in de spotify app dat het nummer wel door blijft spelen. Hetzelfde geldt voor muziek die ik afspeel met Deezer.

Deezer verbaast me, als je deze via B&o gestart hebt! Spotify ligt voor de hand (geen directe verbinding en daarmee geen signaal naar de Spotify app).

In ieder geval geldt dit wel voor “music” (dlna muziek) en via BLC verbonden ML produkten. (ik was blijkbaar te voorbarig…)

In mijn geval gebruik ik Audirvana/Qobuz om muziek te streamen, zoals te verwachten, is bij deze combinatie ook geen terugkoppeling en wordt de stream ook niet gestopt maar gemutet.
