Claming some bugs that are reported by you mbolo are fixed
Good that they actually fix reported bugs.

Beta 3.4.3.29744 is out:
Has been fixed: Play queue: When inserting music track(s) to a product play queue, the play queue is emptied prior to loading new content to it which is the correct behavior, but when a TuneIn radio has been played after a music source, loading new music content to the product no longer clears the play queue but instead inserts the new track(s) after the latest music track played (case opened by mbolo01 - Dec 2019)
Unfortunately "3D Touch / Shutdown All" issue is not fixed if this is what meant "3D Touch menu fixed" in the beta announcement.
Hiort:Claming some bugs that are reported by you mbolo are fixed
Interestingly enough, I never raise cases with my nickname, which means that B&O reads this forum and has established the link between the cases # and mbolo01, it is very very good news!
It also demonstrates that it is important to open cases.

Hiort:Also noticed that the 3DTouch did not work as I would expect it. All devices are shut of but I do not expect that the app would open.

Not only the app opens, but if the app is not already working in the background, I.e minimized after a previous use, then no device is shutdown, so expected 3D Touch action does not work at all

I see.
3D Touch is now fixed in today's beta (3.4.3.29926)
I have suggested a popup to ask the user for closing the B&O App (yes/no) which I think would be what users would do 99% of the time after an all product shutdown.
But isn’t 3D Touch (on the newer devices) gone anyway?
I never close the app, when my products are shut down....why should I do so?

That I - perhaps - do not need to/want to power down the app, definitely does not mean, that I wouldn’t advocate for this feature to be added. So please, app team do this!
I just wanted to state that it might not be needed for more than the 1% (100% minus your assumed 99%).
You are right - I use a dedicated iPad (in fact more)........I hardly ever use my iPhone for the app.
In fact I have the opposite issue - the app closes down on its own after a while, when not used :-(
I really should report this as a bug - there are several other apps, where you have the option of keeping them alive constantly (untill they manually are shut down).
Millemissen:In fact I have the opposite issue - the app closes down on its own after a while, when not used :-(
Interesting, does it close completely, or does the inactivity screen lock rule kicks it because the app was doing nothing, and it does not come back to screen when you wake up the iPad?
If you wish, you can describe the issue with more details, I can add it to the tracker and enrich it with a case number when you have it.
Would be nice.
However, then I’ll need some more exact observations in order to describe it.
Will do next week - will be rather busy the next days.....and not at home.
Millemissen:However, then I’ll need some more exact observations in order to describe it.
I did some tests and I now see what you mean.
I used Deezer app and B&O for my tests and I set my iPad inactivity screen lock to 2 minutes.
Test 1 - B&O App running in foreground, no music going on, iPad screen went dark after 2 minutes, waited for a while (couple of hours), waked up the iPad, B&O App no more in foreground.
Test 2 - Deezer App running in foreground, no music going on, iPad screen went dark after 2 minutes, waited for a while (overnight), waked up the iPad, Deezer App still in foreground, immediately displaying updates (new music available advertising).
I think this may be due to the fact that the B&O App is not written to refresh itself while in background (Deezer is). Even if the B&O app was initially in the foreground, IOS may put the B&O app in the background in sleep mode due to inactivity.
I have another symptom linked to this: if your B&O App is no longer working in the foreground, while not being completely closed, and you power off a B&O device that was up prior to the B&O App going into the background, when you bring the B&O App back to the foreground, the powered down device is shown up and running while not being controllable by the app. I raised a case a while ago for this, but had no feedback.
I'll open cases for both, one will be a request for enhancement to have optionally B&O App refreshing in the background, and one to request better products status refresh when application is brought back to foreground (this will cover the case of users choosing not to have B&O App refreshing in the background .... if they implement it one day)
Thanks for further investigating.
Just a short note...my ‘Beo-iPads’ are constanly on - set to ‘never’ - they are docked.
When the app ‘dies’ you just see the app screen.
My workaround.....I open the Clocks app in the evening - and ask Siri to open the B&O app in the morning ;-)
More to come, when I am at home again.

Dyssegaard:I have just now reported the following issue to B&O support:Ticket 209996 - BeoVision Eclipse - DLNA playback problem
Thanks Dyssegaard, I have updated the tracker accordingly.
I'll test the features against my products too as I remember it has been an issue in the past.
Issues fixed in 3.5:
Note: I would have placed the multiroom icon just before the product type name, like it is placed in the iPhone version, for better look and consistency.
I raised a case for the following as it happened to me the other day, unbelievable ....
B&O App fails to start when Internet access is not available while local network access to products is functional (case raised on Sep 3rd 2020 ref: 242939)
mbolo01: Issues fixed in 3.5: iPad: Product screen, B&O Multiroom icon is misplaced (case raised on May 5th 2020, no ack received) Note: I would have placed the multiroom icon just before the product type name, like it is placed in the iPhone version, for better look and consistency.
The above is now definitely closed in 3.6 beta, multiroom icons are now properly placed! hurray! hopefully more serious issues will be fixed soon too.
Fixed in 3.6.0.31122 (beta):
When browsing DLNA collection, there is continuously spinning circle shown at the bottom of each DLNA music page (case raised on May 5th 2020 ref: 180492)
3.6.0.31122 (beta)
The Beoplay S3 icon is not represented on the Widgets screen of an iPhone/iPad.
No icon for Beosound Core either. Also, Beosound font should be fixed so that it appears on 1 line if possible since only the d is on the 2nd line. Looks a bit unprofessional.
B&O in my life 😊:
Airplay 2 is not supported by Beolink
icons are still not completely wrapped up yet, hopefully by version 3.7
MrTom:Airplay 2 is not supported by Beolink
mbolo01: MrTom: Airplay 2 is not supported by Beolink Do you mean there is a message warning about AP not being supported by Beolink? If this is what you are referring to, then it has been recorded in item 9 of my tracker. That said, AP(2) works over Beolink, I’m using it almost every day

AP(2) works fine over Beolink, But So far AP(2) in combination with Multiroom is not supported.
You can use AP(2) alone to stream to multiple B&O products.
But you mentioned "(when products are correctly configured) and which works despite the displayed message"
will be nice to know what setup works.
MrTom:will be nice to know what setup works.
Yes, I have been using multi room with AirPlay 2 with the Sound Synchronization checked as you have. Just curious why you changed the wifi delay to 1400 ms. The default on mine is 1000 for wifi. What does increasing the delay do?
Many thanks.
Jaffrey2230:The default on mine is 1000 for wifi. What does increasing the delay do?
It happens that my Beoplay M3 does not sync properly with my BS Moment. I found that by changing the wifi delay, the sync comes back immediately .... up to the point I face the issue again several days later, in such case I change the value for something else, between 1000 and 1400 ms. Et voilà!
Good to know. Thanks.
Interesting .... 3.7.1 beta just available while public 3.7.2 is out ???
Edit: 3.7.1 beta availability notification has been immediately followed by 3.7.2 beta notification (same as public) .... hard to follow.

Carolpa:Today within a half an our both were rereleased. Now the last just seems fine
mbolo01: That said the latest beta is the same than the current prod one.

I wish the iOS widget were a little more polished. The text and icons are off for me. Many products like the Core have no icons etc.
CB:Hi B&O testers I discovered recently that the BS Essence mk1 is no more able to play music from a DLNA server, and apparently, I’m not alone in this case. I tried to play some music files on my server to my Essence mk1 from others app (like Creation 5 for example), and it works (even FLAC) ! Hence, the problem is coming from the B&O app... I’m not recorded as a tester, so could you please act for this issue to be taken into account in a future release? Thanks a lot.
