Danish TV Show “Carmen Curlers” located in Danemark. Part of the action is in a Radio Shop.
I’m unable to identify any item but the B&O logo is obvious in many shots.

Hi,

There’s number of threads about BS5 loosing internet connection. I can’t remember if the solution is simple or complicated but it does exist.
I remember a thread in trhe old forum (I cant fond it right now) where the guy (french by the way) found a solution and wanted to sell it to members.

I think the problem comes from a corrupted file in the linux framework behind the BS5 software.

Of course your problem can be different.

Good luck.

That one must be double checked by Members Guy and Madskp before moderation gives a go….            😀

That’s perfect, all I needed to know for now.

I may come back to you later in the modeling process to check the holes position (I bet B&O does’nt place them randomly and speaker orientation has it’s reasons).

But for now it’s all good.

Thanks you Madskp.

a scan of the profile of the stand. Would you prefer the Scan as a PDF or a picture?

A picture would be perfect.

The pictures you posted will be a great help. Could you please measure the whole height of the stand ?

Thank you!

As far as I know, no. Airplay is Airplay.

Member Leogonewild did a mod on a Beolit (12 I think but maybe 15) to insert a google home inside. Quite a work if I remember correctly but neat and clean. If you like challenges…

I’d like to read it.

Interesting reading.

Both seems to point out that a failed update doesn’t ‘brick’ the device (Apple Anxiety again…).

In the end I believe it’s just a psychological issue like “if don’t update I will miss new features making my BS1 sounds like a BL90 and many other fancy stuff.

It works, don’t touch anything (because ‘loudness’ is not really a thing I miss – more on my Beolit 12…).

Thanks Mads.

Just in case, both of them can be easily DIY’ed… 🙄

Hi Charlie,

Even when you meticulously follow the wake up procedure for Beo5/6 it sometimes does’nt work. Then you try again the day after and it works.
Once I was close to prove that it has to do with the conjuction of solar wind, the song playing in the radio at that exact moment, and the time of the days. But in the end I was unable to gather enough data to be sure.

I’ve become comfortable that there is no rules when playing with those thing but this one: A dead Beo6 does not exists.

You have to keep trying until it works.

Good luck!

Hi Madskp,

1- I believe the antennas are the two side strips on the lower body of the unit. In the top part all I’ve seen looks like controls parts (rotating volume and touch panel. Nevertheless, Wifi does’nt seems to be the issue. More likely the link between the app and the device.

2- Yes I’ve tried to reset the unit (thus erasing the wifi credentials) and use ethernet only: same behavior, the app sees the unit because it sets the gold color in the app and after that cant establish connection. Then again, even in wireless mode, the airplay connection is steady and strong.

3- No, but see above.

4- Yes it has and it was quite a surprise. The web server is the same as the one in the playmaker or the Beolit 12, same look and features that the Beosetup App.
Then, yes, it could be a good place to try the update. But I’m still reluctant to do it (Years of Apple Update Anxiety…).

Thank you for your help.

Realtime update…

Ths unit was on test in my office. few minuts ago I wanted to move it and had to unplug it. Guess what? It continued to play for like 40 secondes until I pkugged it again.
The BeoSetup App* shows battery level at 100% and Batteru health as “Good”. This need to be investigate in the days to come.

B&O App still can’t maintain connection.

Solution 1:
If you use Google automation, find an IR emitter B&O complient and code some commands.

Solution 2:
Change the girlfriend?

Answer to myself,

The battery is dead. After like 8 hours plugged to mains, the unit turns off as soon as it is unplugged.

In the meantime I learned that the battery status can be checked in the app,
but the unit doesn’t provide consistent communication with it so, impossible to tell.
