This is a great update. Now we can finally have control over playing specific TuneIn stations and Deezer playlists -- much like how we could create macros involving Spotify from the BeoSound 5 -- before that support was discontinued. I know this is a feature some on here were hoping for in order to have more control over how an NL source starts.
It looks like the relevant commands are:
Playque add TuneIn station
Playque add Deezer playlists
Playque add URL
However, there isn't much guidance on how we actually select the specific playlist/station. Perhaps that's what the "Playque add URL" is for? I do see where one can see a specific URL on the computer web browser when playing a playlist on Deezer on the computer. Perhaps its a matter of cutting and pasting this URL? It looks like this will take some experimenting and sharing our results on here.
yes, a big step forward!
move buttons from the scene tab is so important! and the second big thing is the virtual dimmer and shades. it opens a new way of programming of custom strings.
I do with that they had allowed us to define and label our own tabs. Also, a feature that was lost from the transition from the MLGW to the BLGW was the ability to insert blank buttons in the app interface so that we could visually group scenes together and have the groups separated by the blank buttons.
new firmeware:
Hi, I updated my gateway yesterday. After the update all my Masterlinkproducts (BV 755, BS5, BL 3500) became unresponsive. I have restarted both the gateway and all the ML products but no buttons in the Beolink APP works. Can someoneelse confirm if this is a general problem or just a problem with my gateway?
best regards
Martin Ström

Hi Seanie, I upgraded yesterday to 1.5.3 and it was then all ML-products stoped working. The "beolink" symbol is green in the right corner in the web-interface but still not working. I have written to Beointegration and is awaiting some answers.
Best RegardsMartin
I've had problems, too. My macros would no longer work on my BeoSystem 3. When I use the capture function to try to detect the BeoSystem 3, it does not register any video source commands and detects the BeoSystem 3 as an audiomaster (instead of videomaster) when I send an audio source command. However, I have an ML/NL Converter set as audiomaster.
I had to change macros that use my BeoSystem 3 to have them send the commands through the ML/NL Converter.
Hello,Did you have the errors with 1.5.3 or with an earlier version?
Best Regards,

Hi, my problems started with 1.5.3. I have send a case to Beointegration but no answe yet.
My problems started with 1.5.3, too. For me, the BLGW is not recognizing the video master. However, the video master (Beosystem 3) is still transmitting LIGHT and CONTROL commands.

hi, same here! Beosystem 3 (BV9)
I'm also finding that a BeoLab 3500 is no longer responding to macros that trigger the ALL STANDBY command. However, the 3500 is still responding to other macros and will respond to an ALL STANDBY button press used by the Beo4 on other ML products.
I have got a new corrected software from Beointegration. Now all makros and my beolab 3500 and everything works perfect. So if you have problems with the new 1.5.3 just ask for the corrected software and manually download it to the BLGW.

Hi,
New firmware on hue side!
The hue connection to the blgw failed every 20 sec. (blgw log) the hue bridge is nearly blocking. Only a disconnection between the blgw and the hue bridge help to control on hue side.
Any knowing issues with the blgw software and the new firmware of the hue system?
Blgw: v1.5.3.230 – Hue Firmware 1802201122
Thanks!
Hi everyone,
first impression of the latest release is not good. Upgrade went through without issue but post upgrade no users but the admin one can access the web panel or use the iPhone app. So not exactly a well tested update. Does anyone else have the same problem.
Hi Again,
Managed to work out the issue with the web panel and it basically fails to load until the user has accepted the new T&C screen. Basically each user needs to visit the admin page of the gateway and logon and accept the T&C. After which the web panel and iPhone app start to work for that user.
I'm sure this is a feature but I'm not so sure because I would not want non-admin users having to access the admin setup pages in order to be able to use the iPhone app.

I hope the update does improve the stability with RadioRa 2. This has been an issue since the last update.
I see that no improvement has been made to the Home Control screen on BeoVisions. I had suggested to the team that they better organize the menu with submenus for dimmers, shades, thermostat, and scenes and use the color buttons to quickly access those submenus. As it is now, everything is lumped into one long list that you must scroll through. It seems odd that the menu shows icons for dimmers, shades, thermostat, and scenes, but you can't pull those up as submenus as you can in the iOS app.
I'm curious what the new BeoRemote One protocol entails. I've always thought that B&O would eventually need to at least enable use of the BeoRemote One for LIGHT/CONTROL commands via bluetooth on newer devices (in addition to BeoVisions) that no longer accept IR control.
Having now tested things (admittedly very quickly) I've found no issues with the upgrade once accepting the T&C for all users on the system (luckily not many). Control of Networklink and Masterlink products still works. BeoSound 5 cover art displayed nicely on the BeoLInk2 App. Macros continue to work which used to be my major concern with upgrades software, where previous releases have resulted in macros needing triggers re-saved.
The problem I've experienced with the later version of the BLGW software in that light and control commands from old Masterlink products are not processed by the gateway. This is still not fixed. However, B&O have previoulsy claimed there are no issues with the software even though all the Masterlink products I own work correctly among themselves and respond to ALL STANDBY which would suggest that cabling is not the issue.

With which mastering products are you having trouble? Are they connected to your network via NL/ML Converter? If so, some products connected via the converter (other than the master product that is connected to the BLGW via cable) will lose the ability to transfer LIGHT/CONTROL commands since that product is on a separate ML system than the BLGW. The solution for this is to connect an IR receiver to the NL/ML Converter and program the NL/ML Converter to forward LIGHT/CONTROL commands.
Sorry for late reply, been away on holiday.
The problem is with a BV10-32. Its is cabled directly into the mastelrink and the send light commands to the BLGW is enabled. The product cannot be controlled from the BLGW nor send light commands to the BLGW.
Other masterlink products are BS5, BL3500 and the convertor. All seem to work and music can be shared between them and the converter correctly allows for TV and music to be shared between networklink and masterlink products.
Also I have tried to send light commands from the BS5 which also doesn't work. Initial B&O suggested a cabling issue but as the products can be controlled and play music correctly between themselves this seems unlikely.

How is your converter connected and is it set as V.Master? Is your BV10 set as V.Master? Remember that you can only have 1 V.Master in a ML system. If your BV10 and your converter are both set as V.Master, you will have a conflict. I had something similar to this happen when I had a converter connected to a BV10 to play a BeoSound Moment through its speakers and also had another converter used in another room as V.Master. In order to transmit LIGHT/CONTROL commands from the room with the BV10, I had to attach an IR eye to the converter connected to the BV10 and enable LIGHT/CONTROL forwarding through that converter.

BTW, I had to disconnect the BV10 ML cable from the ML system in the setup that I described. The converter connected to the BV10 then had a ML cable going directly from the converter to the BV10 -- essentially creating it's own ML system that was separate from the ML using the BLGW. All LIGHT/CONTROL to the BLGW went through that converter -- which was recognized by the BLGW via NL.
Does anyone have the new or newer firmware file?
I am stuck on firmware 1.1.0 and onlineupdate doesn´t seem to work from this older version.
Thanks in advance.

Updated new firmware yesterday. All went well. The Philips Hue driver update did fix an issue where an Innr light could not be addressed directly via the BLGW. So worth the update. Not much else to report.
How can you update to 1.5.4.533 ? Mine has 1.5.4.491. When I go to the menu Tools/firmware and type "check for latest version", it says "1.5.4.533 is the latest version". typing "start online update" says "checking" and "preparing to download the latest version" (for 1 second, and than nothing happens ... Tried tor restart etc, but no change in firmware version. I could do it manually, but then I need to know where to download the file...

I can't upgrade at all though the "online update"
I've tried hard resetting and switching back to DHCP to no avail.
Does anyone have (or know where to get ) a firmware file for anything greater than v1.4.1.20107 they can share?
Michael
Happy New Year :-)
Same at my system, online Update function on 1.5.4.557 doesn't work !!!
Any hints, tips or tricks available ??
Thanks in Advance :-)
PS: i`m running on 1.5.4.491
Happy new year,
some problems as the others in the thread ....
online update function on BLGW to x.x.557 doesn't work !!
I`m using v1.5.4.491
Offline file available ?? Any hints, tips or tricks ?
I wonder if the new firmware update has anything to do with the new ML driver that seems to be for the BLI. Possibly for better ML integration with the BLI by interfacing a BLGW? I can't find any updated info on this in the FAQ section of Khimo's site. Nor on the Beointegration site.
Hello Jeff,
The update is suggested on the GUI of my BLGW / Tools / Firmware...
Especially the MJPEG stream handling improvements are quite important to me...
Screenshot of my BLGW:

Problem solved :-)
Khimo changed the CA Certificate of the update server,
Backup config / reset to factory default / reboot
(during this the CA Certificate is updated by first contact to update server)
FW Update work sucessfully
import Config and works fine :-)
Thanks for your support :-)
