Dear community I have been reading your latest complaints and can tell we’re still not quite there. We still have some missing items in the source menu and I will look into bringing the essential ones back for you.
MM if I could ask you to post a list of the ones you are missing?
All the best Thomas, Bang & Olufsen

Sure, although it should be obvious from my postings/the pictures on the previous page #24530/32

But here goes again.
The example is my M5.
As you see, that has two linked products:

Which means that – depending in which sources from these you have ticked in the ‘lokal liste’ – they can show up in the list using the 3 dots (in the previous app version)

(Please note that the list was too long for one screenshot).

So – even if there are some items there, that I haven’t asked for – I can access the local and the linked sources from the app…..and from the Beoremote of course.

With the new app it looks like this, when pushing the now arrow.

I am sure you will understand why I have rolled back to the previous beta version on my main iPad (for testing the new beta I have that installed on a secondary iPad).

 

As mentioned earlier, I am aware that you – as of now – can not link products to the Theatre (or to any other Mozart product for that matter).
Which means that linked sources (e.g. my CD player through the Converter) will not show up there.
But this is another – not directly app related – problem!

For the Theatre it looks like this with the new beta app:

And with the old beta:

In my case I use only sources of the Theatre, those connected through the Theatre/HDMI, as well as the tuner and the media player of the LG.
These are visible in the old app.
In the new I have lots of ‘things’, I haven’t asked for/do not need there.

Feel free to ask for more details.
And thank you for participating in this thread ?

Edit: I think if they had displayed this type of panel with a revised Harmony design, then that could have potential? The TV works as it works but when in standby or sound mode, the turned-in panels of the Speakers with a transparent screen would make the Harmony far more discreet in the home against a wall?

I agree on that – would be nice to see…..as a concept.

I rolled the beta on main iPad back to the previous version, but have the new on another iPad.
It is still not good enough to use in my setup (with the NL/ML Converter/ML sources).

Well, it has been a long time since I last fiddled with this.

But this is the full description for how to….

However, I am not sure if that will help you – do you use a wired network connection?

If the red standby light on the LG tv bothers you, here is how to disable it.

As far as I remember there is a setting for the digital output of the Core for ‘fixed’ or ‘variable’.
The variable setting should allow the volume control of the sources of the core (via remote or app).

Nice setup that one, indeed ?

? That would be worth trying out!

However, I would not recommend having long cable runs in that case.

Alternatively you can use the analog-out and connect that to the analog-in on the Transmitter.

The new Steven Wilson album.

I bought the standalone Blu Ray disc primarily because I wanted to listen to this album in lossless Atmos.

Wait a minute…
….the Core and the A9 can both be part of a B&O multiroom setup – of course the Core also need the speakers.
If one wants to stream from external to these devices, it is possible via Airplay 2 or Chromecast (depending on ones priorities) – e.g. for Tidal and Apple Music. The B&O devices also support Tidal Connect with the recent update.
You can use B&O Radio and the built-in sources on both and let the second join the first, if you have already started playback.

 

The big question here is how to make the cable management, if you prefer the physical connection.
Since there is no PL-out in the 19 and only one PL-out in the Core, you will have to use a splitter (and do the bas management via the controls on the BL19). All doable, but needs to be well planned.

Sure, the easier way would be to go wireless/WiSA.
However you will then need a Transmitter 1 https://bangolufsenassistentgohe.blob.core.windows.net/manuals/APPS_AND_ACCESSORIES/BEOLAB_TRANSMITTER_1/3511267_1310_UG_BeoLab_Transmitter_1_v1_3_Web.pdf

And – as mentioned – WiSA is not everywhere the optimal solution.

I know of no B&O device – apart from the Beovisions/BS Theatre – that has WiSA built-in……stay away from the BS Moment, please.

It should be possible to use the Ever Solo as a player for the BL17/19-Transmitter combo – toslink out and toslink in.
But you will not be able to stream from the Solo to the A9.
You can stream from extern (via a mobile device) using Airplay2 or Tidal Connect to either one or to both.

I am not sure how the volume control on the Ever Solo using toslink out will work???
Using the BS Core it is much easier, when it comes to volume control….just use the B&O app and/or the Beoremote One.

Hope this helps a bit.

I guess it is just a ‘set-designer-thing’.
Unlikely that he/she should know anything of this.

Missing linked sources in the BST is not an app issue, but a software choice for all Mozart-based……so it seems.

When B&O talk about keeping legacy products alive, they also should realize that – at least – some of us want to have these integrated with/connected with the new products.

But that is not for the app team to decide.

This is how it looks for my Theatre.

Sure, I did not expect to see any linked sources there (I wonder if that will ever come with a Mozart product?)

I see lots of what I do not need there.
Why display the internal HDMI’, which I do not use?
Let me pick what I should see there – and the order.
Apart from the tv-tuner, I do not use the internal LG sources – why do the LG Channels or the Media Player etc show up there?

Here is how it looked previously.

Admitted not well thought through either (I do not use YouSee Play), but still more like how I use the BST….including Spotify Connect, B&O Radio and Standby (which does not show in that screenshot).

P.S.
A similar comparison with new/old app for my V1 tv is even worse ?

Is my use case so far off from what the betateam tests?

MM

So, at least the source arrow show up on my iPad too.
However, this is how it looks (read: this is my only option on my M5……if there was anything connected there – not even the option to turn off the device/all can be found there).

 

And this is the same with a pre 5.4.0 beta version

I can access what is in my setup from there ?
Please notice that there is more in that menu than what the screenshot shows —— I can swich to the Spotify app directly from there and I can turn off the device/all from there.

Sorry, beta team – I can’t use the new beta ?

I’d say….wait for the BL8’s, before you decide.

MM

[Millemis]

I did that too!

Up untill now the beta versions were fine to have running on my main iPad.
But not anymore.
This beta is absolutely unworkable in my setup (with a NL/ML Converter in the mix – for my 6500 CD player/6500 Master – and several ASE-based devices plus the BST).

Could it be that the app team has only the new Mozart-based devices in mind and that the app is only tested on mobile phones?
Would be rather sad ?

P.S.
Still have the beta running on another iPad here….just to see how it evolves.

You can not get anything but the sound of the cd player of the BC2 from the coax-out of the BC2/Master Unit.

That is the reason to use the Core.

If I understand the setup of Yann correct?

I have had my ATV connected to the BST right from the start (don’t use any of the inputs of the LG, except for the eARC).
I use the ATV as my main source (it is PUC controlled, no CEC).
I have had no issues after the update.
