Finally the new Deezer app for the V1 / BV 11 has arrived and it seems to work flawless. Now hopefully B&O takes it up at their side to update the software so that the Deezer app can also be selected through the source button ( i.e. A-Mem button on beo4). For now this way the old buggy Deezer app is stil activated.
Does anyone on the forum knows if B&O will keep updating the 1gen smart tv software? The BV11 is still on sale.

Can someone tell me how I can access this new app from the BV11? On my Beo4 A.Mem launches the old (& still unreliable) Deezer app. I've checked the apps within the Smart TV section by cannot any Deezer app, am I missing something?
Any help appreciated, Matt
I did not use the installed Deezer on my V1 for a long time now - used the linked (from Essence) instead.
Inspired by this thread I tried to access Deezer, but it did not get past the first screen - no way to do anything there.
Has the app been updated, or what does the op mean by 'new Deezer app'?

There is a tv - and there is a BV

Same inspiration, same screen effect
Razlaw:There is a Deezer app in the app gallery. I just added it to my home web media page on my V1.
Ok - got it.
Might be ok for a standalone tv.
But it can surely not replace the existing (well - de facto not-existing) app, since there is no way to use it as a source and to assign it to a button.
If you cannot do this, you can't access it from another NL device (apart from joining-in to perhaps?) or via converter on the ML.
It is exactly the same situation as we have in the new (Android-based)tv's, where apps can't be used as a source either.
I wonder how B&O is going to solve that problem there - - and I wonder if they are going to make the installed Deezer app on V1/BV11 etc working again.
C'mon Struer!!!
Thanks Razlaw, found it.

Thanks to all the well informed members on the forum I was looking out to this day, as I hoped the new software update should fix the Deezer bug and make the new app availablr through the source button (instead of the webmedia app launch). Unfortunately this was not the case.
Does anybody know what the software update fixed/added? Any ideas regarding the app fix? Would be so nice to use the multiroom / nl function on two V1's with the new Deezer app (old one is realy rubbish as it won't start up most of the times)

Coincidentally I did the same at the weekend with a new (old) BV11-55, and was too - pleasantly surprised - easily the best WebApp available on that OS.
Didn't realise you can map to a MyButton though ... even better ... thanks!

That must have been a ‘silent update’ - I did not notice any.
Since when is it so?
I’ll have a look once I am at home.
Hiort: hostler: PS. Love the AJ Lamp - a classic! Thanks I love it too
Thanks
I love it too
I was noticing it, too. Very good taste.
Please do help me!
Just tested on my BV Avant.
I do see NO changes there from how it was before - it is just as buggy as ever....totally unusably.
What are you doing, that I am not?
Note: I have no Deezer account...if that should make any difference.
(Assigning a button is not a problem....never was.)
Opened the app on my BV12 and Avant Mk 1 - both seem to be the new (er) updated app
And lo and behold, it looks like a modern app!
At least at very passable alternative to using a smartphone, that much I'll say.
A touch slow in loading pages, but certainly well laid out and a good choice of options.
A pleasant surprise, though I haven't tried the native app for years - my recollection was that it was god awful.

Deezer redesigned the desktop app (at least for Mac OSX) very recently.
The new smart TV app has a very similar look and feel now.
Maybe it was all part of the same process / rollout.
Still a bit puzzled by this.
The app on my Avant looks like in the picture from Hiort, but it reacts terribly slow.....no fun, at all.
I’ll have to try on my V1 later today, to see if it is different there.
Terribly slow for me two !
I went to the Webmedia on my Avant Mk1 and saw that an app is in the App Gallery - i think there are only 6 anyway
I had already used Deezer in the past on the Avant but stopped because it's so painfully slow.
On the BV14 what i had to do was uninstall the Deezer app that was pre installed as that didn't work, and then install the one in the Google Play store which works fine. Its not as slow as the Avant though.
Both TVs are direct lan cable
I never really use Deezer on either of these, and i mainly listen to deezer (music) on my A9 and BS1. I have integrated an essence Mk2 with the BV14 on the chance i want to use the BV14 as an NL speaker with multiroom.
I had forgotten about the deezer app on the V1, tried it on one of my V1s and it responded quickly to search and played music quickly. I have this hardware by cat7 cable to the router, so don't know if that made any difference.
I have a BS moment so always use that in the room

I have the same set up but Deezer on the V1 is sloooooooooow........
Maybe library size on Deezer ("My Music") is a factor? I have appts 1500 albums in there.
I only have 426 albums and 28 playlists, so maybe that is a fctor
I tried out the built-in Deezer app on my V1 yesterday - the result is exactly like with my Avant....laggy, slow, unuseable.
Both tv’s are wired and internet speed is far more than enough here.
Honestly, I can’t see what has changed - and I am rather confused that some people tell, that the app is working well at their places.
Besides - there has not been any updates for the V1/BV11/Avant 1st gen platform for ages!
Deezer on my V1 (US market) stalls out during load. Anyone else experience this? Any suggestions?
