I have a Moment integrated with a BeoVision 10 via an NL/ML Converter and it does not appear as a choice when expanding music.

 

 

Isn’t it related to the NL/ML issue introduced by the latest Moment’s software?

I had my Moment's software rolled back to the stable version.

Hiort:
When I had a Moment (integrated with BV11) I could expand music to that device by tapping “+” in the Multiroom view.
Correct, the Moment can be added to a multiroom experience the way described by Hiort, like any other NL product.

I have a Moment integrated with a BeoVision 10 via an NL/ML Converter and it does not appear as a choice when expanding music.

Is the BLC set as A Slave or A Master?

 

Does the Moment have its own speakers?

In my case, no PL/wisa speakers connected to the moment. ML/NL setup as A-Master.

Cannot play from moment to BV via “+” and not even playing automatically to the BV when playing tune-in on the moment.

When you say, you integrate moment with ML/NL, what does this mean? Are you referring to setting the ML/NL as blgw device in the settings of the moment? or how else to “integrate”?

Thanks for your help!

When using Airplay for playback and parallel using the B&O App.

You see the played Track Name and Artist Name at the Control View (?) but in the Listening View (?) you only see the Track Name (see attached screenshot). It would be great to see the Artist Name, too!

Another question, when I use Chromecast (with Deezer App) I get the cover art displayed in the Listening View of the B&O app, when I use airplay (with Deezer App) there is NO cover art. Why?
When I stream Deezer App via Airplay to my Apple TV the cover art is shown. So the information should be included in the airplay music stream. Why is the B&O app not able to display the cover art when using Airplay?

Is this the user interface design quality you expect from a high price design brand?
On the music main page (Apple iPad)

You see 9 different genre. If you want to see all 20 genre you have to klick on „show all“. Scrolling does not help, you only see another 6 (total of 15 not all 20) but not all (why?).

Now you see 2 different genre (before you saw 9) at the same time and you scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll and scroll and ... to see the missing 11 (and only 2 genre at the same time).

I am not surprised, that the B&O App is with high distance the worst rated app compared to competitors in the Apple App Store. And just setting back the rating counter will not help, as long as the user interface quality stays like this.

I hope that some B&O officials are still reading this thread even the new version 2.7 is released and no more feedback is written by Mr.Andersen since then.

I am very disappointed that the bug that courses a freezing app (after 3 to 6 minutes when there is WLAN / LAN connection to B&O products but no Internet connection) is not solved!

Instead „very important“ issues are implemented, like round instead of squared artist pictures and left-justified instead centered captions. WoW that is really the correct priority, wasting time and money for non-sense changes nobody needs. But leaving B&O customers with their problems in the rain! 

I am one of the many very disappointed B&O customers.

MrAndersen:

@1990: The timer could be a bug, let me look into it.  

Another issue with the Integrated Setup:

1. I start playback on my integrated Essence

2. I Join the experience from a second device

3. Playback on my Essence stops because of my timer settings.

4. Now after a few hours, I want to stop playback on my second device. I can't achieve that anywhere.

Selecting the second device is impossible because it is in Multiroom-mode. Selecting the V1 that is integrated with my Essence doesn't deliver any options for changing/stopping what is currently playing. I can stop playback through the manual controls of the second device or the remote that is connected to it, but not via the app. I can only put the entire system in standby on the homepage. If I recall correctly, this didn't happen in previous iterations of the app.

@Seethroughyou: It might have changed IP, remove it and adding it again should resolve it

@alsfeld: I have regsitered your bug and we will take a look. We're not getting cover art from Airplay from the products. For Chromecast it depends on the source

@mm08642: I cannot repro this, but it might be iPad only. We will take a look. 

@HH1971: We are not seeing this issue in our tests. I will take another round with QA

@1990: yes, we are aware of this case. No good solution but all standby for now. We will add play pause to the followers in an upcoming release

Regarding the missing album art in the PQ. It is working for the 4 different NAS drives we have in the office. From another customer we got it that he used a Beomaster 5. Is that the case for you as well?

@MrAndersen: did you manage to reproduce product status update failing when app is in the background?

Scenario:

- App is running in foreground, product A and B are seen active
- App is moved to bacground
- Product A is powered off
- App is brought back to foreground
- Product A and B are seen active, even after waiting a while

Same here - albumart shows up when browsing, but not in the queue!

In the main window however, I have the coverpic of the now playing song.

Used to work previously.

Older Synology NAS - preinstalled server there.

Thank you very much for looking into the bug / error.

Perhaps the following will help you, to identify the reason for the bug.

As long as I only use the Beosound Moment, the B&O App works fine within my LAN (without internet connection - I just pulled the DSL connection of my Fritz!box Router) - I tried it for 45 minutes. BUT as soon as I turn on my Beosound Shape (switching on the power) it works fine for another 5 to 10 minutes. I even can start playing music on the Shape from my local NAS via B&O App. But after 5 to 10 minutes, the B&O App freezes. The music goes on playing, but because the B&O App is not anymore working I can not control the Beosound Shape anymore.

I hope you can solve the problem.

I noticed that playing a DLNA or Deezer album now properly empties the PQ prior to add the album’s tracks. Long awaited behavior from my side ! If confirmed, many thanks to Mr Andersen and the dev team!

It seems that PQ is emptied when selecting a new album now which is great and as I would expect. Thankyou!

However, I think I've noticed a new bug. It seems that the albums are entered into the PQ twice and in an odd order. For example, if I add an album with 4 tracks my PQ will look as follows -

Track-1

Track-1

Track-2

Track-3

Track-4

Track-2

Track-3

Track-4

Also the device will start playing from the second Track-1 and continue playing from there.

I have tried this with multiple albums on Deezer and on all my B&O devices. It seems to always happen with one time the album being added to the PQ three times.

..and it all started 20 years ago with a pair of B&O A8 Earphones...

Hi Dion

That sounds odd. Just tried it several times and it doesn't happen to me. 

Just to clarify 

Click an album

Click the play icon

Go to the PQ and the tracks are duplicated?

Is the queue empty when you do it?

Thank you very much for looking into this issue. Yes, it is worst on the iPad in landscape mode. The described issue you experience on small displays like on the iPhone, too. But there it is not so extrem.

B&O really should invest much more time / money in the user interface and technical features that are state of the art in other apps. The experience the B&O app is offering would be OK for a low cost Chinese loudspeaker manufacturer. For a design company placing themselves in the high price segment, the offered B&O app is still far away from my expectation I have on a product in this price segment.

And when you look at the ratings in the Apple App Store, I am not the only one who is strongly disappointed. And just setting back the rating counter with every release will unfortunately not help to improve the app at all Wink

Hi MrAnderson,

Sorry for the delay in responding, I have been travelling and away from my B&O setup at home.

What you have clarified is correct, that's exactly what happens. I have just tried again with Pink Floyd Animals (5 track album) and it has resulted in the album being placed in the PQ three times with track1 in first and playing from the third entry. I cleared the PQ and it did it again. Screenshot below.

This is the latest beta of the app running on Android.

Let me know if there is any more information I can provide to help find this bug.

Kind regards,

Dion

@mbolo01: The white artist image is not yet fixed. This is a different issue and we need to put a light gradient on it or detect white and change the control color

@MrAndersen: Hopefully you realized that handling white background is a more global issue for the UI, as well as iPhone screen shape. See below:

Same here on M3, couldn't change name.

They're no fields for change name, or grey in the edit field by BeoTool.

 Contact the B&O customer support, they tell, select Product options en then change name. Or remove product from app and start from stretch so you give it a name, both options without succes. They don't know where they talking about....

@ B&O possible to fix this issue??

EDIT: Just checked on my M5, this option is no longer editable in the configuration/network page, looks like a product/software issue, not an app issue.

Hi guys

It is simple and sad. Apple do not allow us to change the name if you have used Apple Home to setup your product. If that is the case we must make it read only or fail certification. 

Sorry but my hands are tied in this case
