Thanks.
Do you know when that will be out for us non-betas?
(I am (still) waiting for the iPad version, before I will switch from the Beomusic app.)
Hi Sandyb
Could you send us a feedback on this? Where does it freeze?
Thomas
BeoNut since '75
Sandyb:I would if I could....but nothing responds...app opens OK, usually says Moment unreachable, but irrespective of that nothing responds, so can't even get to the feedback screen
1.0.0.6791 is out and may solve your freezing issue
Just got the new app (Android) with DLNA support - and it works!
This app is pretty great at the moment, I'd love to see you keep up the momentum. My personal wishlist is:
I would say multiroom support for BV14 and Horizon is the most important right now.

ThatGuyFromDenmark: Just got the new app (Android) with DLNA support - and it works! This app is pretty great at the moment, I'd love to see you keep up the momentum. My personal wishlist is: Shuffle function More smooth "Go to artist"-functionality. Not sure of the specifics, just something that is more smooth and "app-like" Support for podcasts (please!) Multiroom support for the new Android TVs
Nr 4 is the most important right now.!
I know this has been discussed before, but I would LOVE to have the X-app support playback via bluetooth, as that would allow me to use just one app for the entire range including Beoplay. Right now, I have to use something else to play to my Beolit and Beoplay A2
Just a tiny bit of feedback. Although DLNA shows the server in the main window, the server(s) should, I think, also be listed in the source list when you click the "..." on the upper right corner of the PLAY pane. Right now I have DLNA working on the main screen, but if I tap "..." I see only Deezer, Tunein, Line In, Spotify, Standby and Cancel. I think it should also show the DLNA server(s) as they're now sources as well.
Additionally, when will DLNA search be coming?

+1
And it's fast
dueno:In the DLNA menu when you click on artist and you choose an artist it show you songs and not the album of that artist
Yes, for me too, but it's normal.
You certainly can set your NAS software to propose other sort options, like artist/album, album/artist, and so on.
@ThatGuyFromDenmark: Shuffle and repeat is coming, has been added to the products and we're waiting for the next software release. Goto artist, we will take a look. Perhaps there are more ways to do this. You can already search and play podcasts in radio? The support is very bare bones i admit. Multiroom is coming, still waiting for the go ahead
@Sal: yes it should say DLNA, we will fix this. The products do not quite agree on what to send us for the source list, that is why it is not quite consistent yet. Search is coming, but sorry i cannot give you an exact date. First we will be adding favorites, that will hopefully help a little with the deep navigation
@dueno: This is actually something we get from the DLNA server, we just display what it sends us. In many DLNA servers this can be customized, perhaps on yours as well
While the DLNA addition is useful, clearly we need DLNA search.
Also, the DLNA icons show Music, Photos, Videos......this should surely show Artists, Albums, Playlists (would have thought this change is easy to make)
With respect to search, are you proposing DLNA specific search, or unified search across both Deezer and DLNA?
Thanks
Sandeep
In the next update for DLNA we will enable you to select the top level folder. Then you can get the view you describe by selecting the "Music" folder, now it defaults to the root.
I don't know yet if we want to unify it. It is tricky. Would you want two album categories in your results, one for Deezer and one for DLNA? Or would your merge them together? When you start digging into this it becomes quite complex. At first I think we will split them up and then experiment with unified search down the road.
Doesn't work with NL/ML Converter. Another App what doesn't work in a complex environment. So doesn't the Beolink 2 App.
@Reto: Working on it as we speak, expect support very soon
Yes, i get that unified search is trickier, not sure of there some intelligence to be borrowed from the Moment in this regard.....
didn't quite understand the first point re DLNA.....at present, the NAS shows Music, Videos, Photos.....whether that is a function of how my NAS is configured shouldn't really matter i think, as Videos and Photos are irrelevant to the app....it would be surely do-able for the Music screen to display the next level below Music on a NAS, which i would have thought for most are Artists, Albums, Playlists....though i'd be interested if thats not the case, from other NAS users......
@Sandyb: We will let users chose what folder to start from. So now it starts from the root, that is why it shows the folders you list. In your case you can chose the music folder and you would get the artist, album etc. at the top level. We cannot do it automatically since this might be in a different language or you might have renamed the folders to something else. This is completely customizable
@MrAndersen: Great news about shuffle and repeat, and thanks for being here and providing feedback!
The "go to artist" thing is just an annoyance, when something is playing that I like, I want to be able to select "Go to artist" and see a collection of albums from that artist, most popular songs etc. - the same I would get if I searched for the artist. That would be really nice, it feels constricted at the moment without this functionality.
I wasn't aware of the podcast support, I will have a play with that. But having the option of subscribing to a podcast and having it show up with recent episodes would be nice (and doing the same on the BeoSound Moment would be really nice!)
(New reply because edit doesn't work on Safari)
Holy sh*t, the podcast support is just what I was looking for! Shame it doesn't work the same on the Moment.
Understood, makes sense now, sounds perfect, thanks.
As for the suggestion below, the Go To Artist, and Go To Album options are brilliant in Tidal...think i've mentioned this before....
Also, as for Podcasts, fuller functionality would be a dream both in the app or on the Moment......though difficult to achieve i guess.....
The new app works fine for me, but my BS35 is still unable to find the TuneIn radios after having played something from "Music", albeit via Deezer or DLNA.
I always get the message "nothing to read" and have to unplug/plug to the main to be able to use TuneIn again.
It's the same with the alarm clock function of course.
@CB: Sounds like something we should look into. Could you make a feedback from the app? Then we have the logs and your product info and it will be easier to help you
Just sent the error report via the app.
Fresh restart, played a Deezer song, then tried to play a TuneIn radio. Nothing to read. --> report.

Exactly the same happens, if you try to use your NL-tv as the renderer for the movies/video clips.

Another little bit of good news for me: BeoSound Essence 1st generation is supported. It is my "Lord of the Penguins".
