New software update, fixed light diode disappears during audio mode, shows metadata for radio on top for 2 min now, instead of on the left hand side. Much nicer 😎 also gives coverflow when playing Chromecast.

@gysse
Untill Miki gets his camera started for a video, you - maybe - could post a couple of pics here.

There is a tv - and there is a BV
Nice idea, a picture is already useful!
Tried to upload pictures, but from iPad, form factor to big
That's pretty slick.

I use Photo Reziser for adjusting the size

Thanks Miki!
Great news,
a small question.
When you adjust the volume, is it just Plus Minus, or do it write a number?
In generel not only in music mode.

So I would not worry about burn in,
Also
People are starting using these screens as PC monitor,
The 48" CX have been pointed to the PC gaming environment
And don't forget it's the first time you can quickly update your Beovision's panel by buying another one in any cheap TV shop
(that's not my aim of course, the longer it lasts the better for the planet)

Well it's a nice update for Harmony owners that actually use their Harmony for music streaming. So it's chromecast only if you want to see metadata and cover art with no airplay 2 (obv licensing).
I wonder if a future update can make it a little more B&O? But would that effectively mean text only (font like a BS4) and no cover art
Or cover art on the left and in the middle section as it seems the UI is in 3 parts, have "chromecast audio" in text without the chromecast logo and then the song and album under neath that and get rid of the "source" logo on the right hand side.

Fansastic:And if you play music from a Moment or other source through NL, no meta data shown? And drom own Deezer app in the Harmony, metadata shown or not? With this new direction of the Multiroom usage through chromecast and airplay, is there still any function for the B&O app (apart for setting up things)? Thanks for sharing!

Carolpa:hardly. B&o looses its identity in the multiroom aria completely this way.
Fansastic: And even the Harmony is leaning more and more to AP and CC use only. Is the Harmony still functioning over NL I wonder. Maybe the Eclipse is really the last Beovision ever made...
Carolpa:Airplay: no meta data, just the source AirPlay is shown.
How disappointing, same problems like at the Beosound 35. Chromecast meta-data are displayed but no meta-data when using Airplay. Perhaps the following link will give the B&O software developer some hints how to do solve it for Airplay (https://appcodelabs.com/show-artist-song-metadata-using-airplay-on-raspberry-pi).
Thank you Alsfeld for the hind, it would be so unbelievable if B&O software developer would fix the problem at the Beosound 35. So that at least Airplay is using the full functionalities (display) of the Beosound 35, since Bang & Olufsen stopped Netlink / NL and unfortunately the Bang&Olufsen app is not usable at all for music content streaming.
Mikipidia:And lastly, ap2 not showing meta data is apple not allowing it atm,
You are sure? I can not believe it!
When I stream via Airplay to my Beosound Core the B&O iOS app shows the meta-data of the Airplay stream! When I stream to my Beosound 35, the B&O iOS app shows nothing besides „Airplay“ (a license / legal topic? - why is the Beosound Core able to show it at the B&O iOS app?).
When I „touch to join“ the Beosound 35 to join my Beosound Core, the Beosound 35 shows in the B&O iOS App AND on the Beosound35 display the Airplay meta-data (is this a bug or a feature and a licence / legal problem for B&O?)
Sorry, for me it looks like so often in the past (e.g. Beosound Moment, Beosound 5), that Bang & Olufsen stopped the development of the Beosound 35 before the software became mature and finalized. Every new CEO brings in new ideas and new products and the products of the predecessor are just discontinued. This company philosophy unfortunately will not build up trust at all, especially considering the average retention time of a CEO at Bang & Olufsen.
It is frustrating to see that Bang&Olufsen does not change / enhance it.
New software 3.0 for Hamony, don’t now what’s new..
Is it possible to stream the sound of TV life program from a Beovision Harmony in sync to a NL speaker e.g. Beosound 35? Similar as it was possible via Masterlink. I would like to listen to my Beosound 35 at the kitchen when e.g. news is running in the living room on a Beovision Harmony.

andy_js:adjust the network delay
I just tested it. Similar situation here, when I connect my Beosound 1 or Beoplay M3 to my Beovision Harmony I have a heavy delay listening to TV (no problem listening to Radio at the Harmony). But I still use the standard sync settings of 50 / 1000 msec.
@andy_js: What network delay settings you are using, to have it in sync?
New 3.1 software out
Dyssegaard:When I stream the sound of a live tv program from my Eclipse to my Beoplay M5 over NL, the sound on the M5 is delayed and thus out of sync with the Eclipse. I assume, that this will be the same on the Harmony ...
