Indeed the new software for my V1 is arrived: Deezer, DNLA streaming, Standby function for music.... No Netradio
"Believe nothing you read and only half of what you see, let your ears tell you the truth."
Nice update. I like the fact that I now can assign speaker groups to sources like spotify. And automatic picture mute on audio sources. No issues with HD.

thank you b+o
Also applied to the new Beovision Avant V1.06. Does B&O publish a change log anywhere?
So what is new in the update?
and how do I know it's been done?
The dlna feature is amazing on my bv11
It works better than my Apple TV did.
Very impressed !
Update is ok, also hd channels work ok, but why there is no net radio? i do not see difference between dlna function before and after update.

@ptbb - if you use the DLNA player function (HomeMedia) as usual, you won't see any difference.
The 'tv' now acts as a 'renderer' - means rhat it plays something that you 'throw at it' from a DLNA control point (could be an iPad app or the WMP).
(At least that is how the Avant reacts. I did not have the chance to test it on my V1 yet - but it should be the same.)
Think Playmaker - the Playmaker is a renderer for audio. You pick what you want to hear and choose where to play it.
Of course the 'tv'-renderer can also play video ---- and the tv turns on from Standby (with the right settings).
Great feature - imo.
P.S. May we hope for the Netradio function in another future update? Would make these BV's perfect!
MM
There is a tv - and there is a BV
How exactly do I throw iPad content at my V1 with the new software?
thanks

I'm using this app

It works great !
@Simonbeo - do you have a DLNA app on the iPad? Such as PlugPlayer or the 8Player?
N.B. Of cource all devices must be on the same network!
@Flappo - did not know that - thanks
I'll have to try it out as soon as possible.

You could write BeoCare and ask that question!
Some think that they are holding it back - ir order to have something special/exclusive for the Avant
To be a complete Luddite , do you mean they only need to share a router and network address , or is there more to the set-up ?
excuse my ignorance!
All devices (the BV11/V1..., the device with DLNA control point function, the DLNA server) must be on one/the same network.
The UPnP/DLNA function makes it possible for the devices to see each other.
This was needed for being able to use the HomeMedia function of the BV11/V1....
Now you can use a tablet/iPad/iPhone/SmartPhone... with a DLNA software on it, to 'command your BV11/V1...' to play the files from a server on your network.
If you - like me - have several hundrets of music albums, you may find it very hard to navigate in the HomeMedia section on the BV, and much easier to search for/find, what you want to play in a good app-interface (say on an iPad).
thorne: So what is new in the update? and how do I know it's been done?
2: go to 'Service' in the menu and look for latest sw-version.
Do a search for new sw, or just wait untill tomorrow (if you have the automatic sw-update activated).
1: what's in the update is briefly explained on the screen, when the new sw is found.
Is there a new start-up screen again ?
we will see later...
My BV11 did not auto update as it should have done, so I did a manual check and update (from the internet) this morning.
After updating I found that my HDMI 1 source (Cambridge DVD) remained in the source menu, but HDMI 2 (Apple TV) had gone. After going to 'edit' HDMI 2 could be selected and I had to go through all the set-up options again for the Apple TV. Interestingly, this time pictures came up of the connections to be made to the TV (even though they had all already been made).
On completion, the menu now has an item it has called 'Apple Remote' and HDMI 2 does not actually appear.

mr_anders_son: Why not Netradio on Bv11??
Why not Netradio on Bv11??
I'm disappointed, was really looking forward for Netradio. And why a Deezer PLUS account? Anyway the stand-byscreen function is very useful as is the saving of a speaker-group. Looks the TV is ready for a Beoremote One also.
-Countdown to the next update (Netradio)!-

Never say never, but when I found that I could not stream internet radio via the BV11 web browser my dealer sent a query to Struer. The answer came back that the best thing to do was attach another B&O source with Netradio, and that the TV itself would not do it. There was no mention of a future TV upgrade for Netradio.
The Apple TV is a fairly good way to get Netradio.... I say fairly because Apple have their own categorisation of stations in their menu and finding a particular station is not straight forward. There doesn't seem to be a way of selecting the stream download quality, and you have to put up with Apple's own pictures rather than view the slide show that the station may have put out to accompany the broadcast.

When you have seen how Netradio works on the Avant, you would surely choose that over the netradio from the ATV.
You can pick the stations and assign them to a digit on the remote - and skip to next.....
If you assign the Netradio to 'Radio' on the Beo4, you can use Netradio just like we are used to with the old analog radio.
And the interface on the tv is different - exactly as we expect from B&O.
Untill the arrival (?) of Netradio on the BV11/V1 I'll keep on AirPlaying radio from the TuneIn iPad app!
jans: How do I configure the screen 'stand by' function for audio sources?
How do I configure the screen 'stand by' function for audio sources?
you don't - so it seems - it's 'auto'.
At least I haven't found a setting for that - which is quite odd!
Hope they change that in an update - to let us decide for On or Off.
Better would be, if they would make it source dependent and also let us decide for how long it takes 'till the screen mutes.
jans:Hey MM Couple of questions: How does the new DLNA function work? This is not clear to me. Isn't it the same as HomeMedia? Which DLNA app would you need on your iPad? Do you need specific software on your NAS?
Couple of questions:
How does the new DLNA function work? This is not clear to me. Isn't it the same as HomeMedia?
Which DLNA app would you need on your iPad? Do you need specific software on your NAS?
Sure it is HomeMedia - but now you can 'feed' the BV from a DLNA app. I mostly use the 8Player or the PlugPlayer (iOS).
Search for DLNA app's on iOS or Android (whatever you use), or (if you are Windows-user) try the 'Play To' function in WMP.
On your NAS you need a DLNA server - but if you have used the HomeMedia of your tv, you will already have one.
Note: the DLNA app can also work as server - means you can use the music, video (dependent on the file format) stored on the device for streaming to the BV.
Here is an example - you can see that my V1 as well as my Playmaker (and the iPad itself) is recognized as a renderer on my network.
You see the three servers that (at the moment) are available on my network - and the main folders/categories of the Synology DLNA server:
Any news about the USB REC funktion?
Beovision Harmony 77" 2nd Gen, Beolab 5, Beolab 17, Beosound 1, Beoplay M3, Beoplay Portal, Beoplay Earset, Beoliving Intelligence
When you pick a video/movie in the interface of the 8Player, you get a screen like this - and the movie is playing on the BV.
You can (with the right settings) start from Standby - no need for pushing the HomeMedia 'button' first, and you can 'pause' with the Beo4 as usual:
And here is music playing - you can 'pause/play' and skip tracks as usual.
The cover and the info's are shown as usual on the BV.
Note: now the screen auto-mutes after some seconds.
emilos: Any news about the USB REC funktion?
Not that I know - did not expect that to come for the BV11/V1 now.
Again - we may hope (at least I do).
But it might be that the 'engine se-version' of the BV11 and/or theV1 can't handle that.
Nice with the pics MM. That looks like a funktion there is useful.
Yes USB Rec could be the thing that could make me pull the trigger on a V1 or beosystem 4.
emilos: Nice with the pics MM. That looks like a funktion there is useful.
...especially for music - if you have a lot of it on a local drive.
Plays 24/96 files fine - by the way!
Millemissen:And here is music playing - you can 'pause/play' and skip tracks as usual. The cover and the info's are shown as usual on the BV. Note: now the screen auto-mutes after some seconds. There is a tv - and there is a BV.
Another point of detail. On switching on the BV11 the name 'Bang & Olufsen' no longer appears bottom right before the curtains open.
It is now a rather larger name/ logo at the centre of the screen with a waving / dimming sort of image.
I have updated my BV 11-55 and experience problems with HbbTV. When the display shows up, the screen goes black for half a second, every time I switch to a channel with HbbTV. When switching to another channel, the HbbTV from the previous channel is shown except from the new channel. When switching channels, for a brief moment the message "no tuner available" is displayed. Annoying and clearly a bug.
Raeuber: Hi MM, how you can bring back the sreen after auto-mute? With P.MUTE or source key? And after bring back the screen, does the screen auto-mute again
Hi MM,
how you can bring back the sreen after auto-mute? With P.MUTE or source key? And after bring back the screen, does the screen auto-mute again
Hi Räuber,
The only way I - so far - have found out, is to to move/press the navi-button.
This also brings back the overview of the servers and the last played items.
To 'get rid of' that list you then have to press 'back'.
Alternatively you push the 'blue button' - this brings on the 'info' about the file.
Pushing that again take the 'info' away and leaves the cover with trackname.... on the screen
Then the 'fun' goes on - after some time the screen mutes again.
N.B. For how long the screen stayes on, I haven't quite figured out - some times it seems longer than other times ???
Edit! While writing this the scren hasn't muted for more than three/four tracks - more than 15 minutes with the screen on
Edit! Edit! The screen is stiiiil on - don't know if it was the 'blue-blue button push' that made it?
I must say - it is rather uncomfortable. Maybe I missed something
And maybe - after all - the 'old' 'P-Mute' function was better?
Problem is - you can't turn off the 'Auto P-Mute'.
I would very much like to hear how things are with other BV11/12NG/V1-users.
Guess I'll have to 'play around' a bit more tomorrow.
Please note - I have only tried this in the 'HomeMedia' function.
But I can't imagine, that it should be different with Spotify.
P.S. Sorry for the long 'not-answer'!
Only a minor achievement , but I updated the software and threw images by DNLA from iPad !
very exciting with that App you recommended Millemissen . But no Spotify from iPad?
thanks for the tips
jans:Hello Millemissen, However, I can't make music play directly on my V1. It seems that I first have to start a movie and then switch to music. Any thoughts what's wrong? Is the screenshot you added for music from 8player? Mine looks totally different. All in all, DLNA is a very nice feature added to the V1.

All in all, DLNA is a very nice feature added to the V1.
1: my V1 turns on from scratch, when I start playing a track in the 8Player.
Sure you have 'quicktimers' activated?
2: you can costumize the main screen of the 8Player - under settings.
3: DLNA is not new - it's the renderer function that is new.
lundmark:So the new DLNA media slinging feature is an AirPlay knock-off?
Definitely not!
But usefull - especially if you don't have (or want) a ATV/iDevice combo.
I love my ATV/iPad
