I just got my BeoVison Harmony this weekend.

Really everything super ... Super finishes, Super picture quality and super sound

But now it comes ... the B&O Harmony Soundcenter (where the LG Panel is connected) doesn't have its own audio player for a NAS in the house. The only audio player for streaming music is the one from LG and it can't support a FLAG 192/96 or ALAC.

I try to connect the WebOS Audio Player withy NAS (UPNP and DLNA) but nothing work ...

Every A9 can connect to a NAS ... Whats wrong?

I want to use the Harmony as my Audio Center ... and now?

What about when you configure the Harmony/Sound Center in the Bang & Olufsen app.

It should work like any other ‘modern B&O audio system’....as far as I know.

Thanks for the hint ... 

I set-up a Plex Media Server (DLNA enabled  on my Mac mini  (I use the Mac as my Music Server ) and give the Beo App access to the Server. Now I can control my Music with the Beo App. But the Player on the Harmony is the LG Player with a horrible Interface ;-) 

Any Hint about to Hide the LG default Apps (Galerie, Video ...), I could delete all other installed Apps ..

Any other NL speakers or Beosound Moment in your network? If so are you able to play DLNA music from that source and join in the Harmony?

Hope this helps

This should work on G9 as well.

Look further down for deleting apps:

If you stream like Carolpa writes, you use the Harmony in audio mode.

The plan is, that the Harmony - with a coming update - should be able to display some infos/metadata on the screen in audio mode.

However, when this will happen and exactly how is still unknown.

Maybe you are expecting a media player from B&O (like e.g. In the BV11) on the screen of the tv.

There is no such - you have the LG-one (which you find ‘horrible’).

I guess it is a matter of which ‘player’ you choose as end point for the DLNA stream!

Maybe you can install another media player from the LG app store, that suits your needs better (e.g. a Plex app).......if you want to use the screen/see metadata, coverpics etc there.

I am not familiar with what you can install - but that could be googled.

Hope this helps.

Wait, it won’t downsample at all? My car doesn’t play it, but has no problem downsampling to what ever it does so the file resolution isn’t the issue aslong as the file format works.

If you have 192 files, you probably want to play them back as is.....now that you have paid a whole lot of money for them ;-)

Well duh, but that’s not an answer is it. Like i said before, even 20’s “only” go up to 24 bit/96khz.
