ARCHIVED FORUM -- March 2012 to February 2022READ ONLY FORUM
This is the second Archived Forum which was active between 1st March 2012 and 23rd February 2022
Dear app users, here's is a summary of some issues/comments I could find in previous app versions related threads that are still valid with the new app iteration. I may have missed some, or some have been fixed since, so feel free to update the list while keeping all the items grouped for better reading (copy paste with changes).
Hopefully someone in B&O still reads this forum and cares.
Issues (new, re-introduced and on-going):
Note: I have opened a case (#200208-000081) on Feb 8th 2020 for all the points above but the "Cannot get the app to control BeoSystem 4500 and BeoSound 2300, each connected to an NL/ML converter." that i cannot support as I don't have such equipment and "Now playing screen: when changing a DLNA track, album cover is not displayed back until now playing screen is minimized/maximized" which may be a PLEX DLNA poor implementation.
Issues fixed in 3.1:

steve1977:I have an old BV connected to the ML/NL. I’m looking to press “join” within the app to join NL streams. Exactly the same how i can join in with the core or all other NL devices via the APP.
Added to the enhancement requests.
steve1977:@Hiort, your multi-room page screenshot shows a TV with a “+” allowing you to join it? Does this work even if the TV is turned off? What TV is it?
Yes, I can join an ongoing experience from some of my devices. Either by using the app or pressing "join" under "List" on my Beoremote One.
That works even if the TV is off. It turns on the screen and display source and available metadata (no album cover though). After a while the screen dim.
The TV is an Beovision 11-46.
Hiort:In the multi room page, the upper left arrow does not work.
steve1977:I’m looking for “real” ML/NL support. This does not only include allowing the ML/NL to play sources from other devices, but also allow the ML/NL to join streams. That’s still not possible. I have an old BV connected to the ML/NL. I’m looking to press “join” within the app to join NL streams. Exactly the same how i can join in with the core or all other NL devices via the APP. Seems a simple fix, but still not implemented for years

ML works with sources. So the ML master can't decide which source it must start when it receive a JOIN command. The only way to make it work is to set-up the Beolink NL/ML (BLC) IR mapping appropiate (see example). But you will notice limitations (due to devices, ML and NL specs and set-up, etc). Note: still you must start the ML side with a remote.

steve1977:How is it implemented with other NL devices? How does an A9 what stream to join?
Tapping on the A9 (or other NL products) start/stop will join the latest NL product that advertised its stream. A double tap on the A9 (or other NL products) start/stop moves to the next active NL product. Simple and efficient.
You have always been able to start a ML source in NL with the app. But (to my knowledge) you never been able to start a NL source on a ML master with an app.
steve1977:The reason i’m saying it should be a simple fix is that it work with the predecessor of the B&O app (without a mapping table).
Just checked the original Beomusic app (still working on my wife's phone), but I simply can't see how it could be done. You can not address a ML master directly.
Carolpa:Example: you have an A6, an A9 and a BV11. On the BV11 the Homemedia is playing a song. Some minutes later the A6 Music is started to play its own song. If you JOIN the A9 it is actually linked with the A6. After a second JOIN command it is linked to the BV11. You have always been able to start a ML source in NL with the app. But (to my knowledge) you never been able to start a NL source on a ML master with an app. Just checked the original Beomusic app (still working on my wife's phone), but I simply can't see how it could be done.

Hiort:Still ridiculously small multi room icon.
mbolo01:It is not even the multiroom icon, I reported it again via the beta feedback, not sure if it reaches some developper ..... You’ll notice that there is no more back button in the multiroom screen (previously black but not functional), and, cherry on the cake, sometimes the black bottom product bar disappear and you are stuck in the multiroom screen, forcing you restart the app. Steps to recreate the issue: open a product now playing screen, click on the bottom right multiroom icon, et voilà ! All bugs are still present apparently BS Moment, BS Core, BS Ouverture, BG 4002, BS1, BL18, BL19, BL8000 + RCV1, A6, M5, M3, A1, P6 (tks Botty), H5, TR1
ngnear:Just swipe back to the previous screen ( left to right)
Hiort:To get back to now playing screen you swipe, but if you tap the X you come back to the Product setting screen for the product that are playing....
mbolo01: Hiort: To get back to now playing screen you swipe, but if you tap the X you come back to the Product setting screen for the product that are playing.... Are they sneakily introducing new navigation modes while forgetting to remove legacy ones? Or has the swiping gesture always be there in both multiroom and play queue?

I, too, felt that I was stuck on a screen until I accidentally swiped. The swiping is not at all intuitive.

Agree,
It´s a bit akward that you sometimes swipe and sometimes have to tap to go back.
Again, quality control seem to be non-existing given the strange thing with the "X".
I checked in 2.11 version and swiping gesture was already there, on top of working and visible « X » and « arrow back » signs. Never noticed that ...
In previous versions I could change the volume simply bij using the volume up/down button on my iPhone when the app was open. That's not possible anymore. 'Ringer" volume is now displayed. Don't know it that is related to the app or to the new iOS 13.4 beta.

Stupid question maybe, but did you check if the option is still active in Settings/Music/Commands ? When I activate the option in mine, it works when the screen is locked as well as when the app is running. It requires to minimize/maximize the app after the setting is turned on to be effective (another bug ...)
Issues fixed in 3.1 (beta):
Hiort:Now bigger link icon
mbolo01: Hiort: Now bigger link icon Not bigger, just correct. Prior icon was:

They where so small so I could not see what icon it was ....
@ Mr Anderson.
If not already mentioned but still (for me) a problem sometimes.I'm not able to put a device in standby when you're holding an iPad horizontal. I'm missing the standby icon. I can only put all my products in standby at once. With my iPhone I can do this when I choose a specific product.
Some pictures for explaining.
Here the product has it's own standby icon.
I confirm and I have added the issue to the list.
Thanks. Hopefully Mr Anderson will have some time in future to solve these issues.
Beobuddy: Thanks. Hopefully Mr Anderson will have some time in future to solve these issues.
Did you report the bug to B&O already? If not I will.
No, I didn’t. Be my quest.
Beobuddy: No, I didn’t. Be my quest.
Done. B&O Answer: will be part of 3.2 release.
