Hi all,
I noticed today that virtually all my multiroom products (old and new) had pending updates. The result is quite wonderful, and I gather that B&O have been hard at work.
There is no longer any latency when activating BeoLink for Airplay sources!
This means that B&O products can be activated for Airplay 2 and Multiroom and be used in a mixed Airplay setting (with speakers by other manufacturers) in perfect sync.
What it also means is that I can now stream to one B&O product via Airplay 2 and JOIN five or six B&= individual products by touch to join, while adding third-party Airplay 2-enabled speakers in other rooms without losing sync.
Such a great and pleasant surprise, and a great leap forward.
... And it works with video, too. Perfect sync of sound and image. Bliss!

Lately, I feel the same way with you. They have been working more on the software department. I appreciate their hard work to deliver the software updates that improve our experience.

encouraging feedback - I think they have to catch up on beolink to keep it competitive.
Fornthe BeoSound Stage I would love to see the possibility to distribute line-in in a delayed way as you have it on the M3.
Or even better to have distribution of HDMI audio track (even if with delay.. am aware of the technical limitations). Have placed the request one year ago witg B&O.. so far no luck.
Both Sonos and Denon offer this feature..
anyway, I hope this positive trend continues

Razlaw:The last update to my Core was in March. It is 1.7.37078.117816679
I have been less than happy in the past about B&O's multiroom SW quality for different easons, now it is fair to say there is a massive improvement and the credit needs to be given to whomever in B&O took leadership to drive it.
The app here and there is still perhaps not the best in class UI example, but as for the multiroom experience it is in my view in many aspects really really good and I'm actually glad that you started this thread StKong.
nico vercammen:it plays on itself but no way to connect it to others in the network.
Razlaw:What is a daily restart? I have not noticed that on my Core. Also, I have not had any problems with it joining or being joined. What do you mean by a manual restart?
mbolo01:Daily restart: Go to the Core configuration pages, check About, Diagnostics, Critical Events (or equivalent, I’m translating from French menu items). You may see regular daily Network State = DownManual restart: Go to the Core settings, Product parameters, Troubleshooting, Restart or equivalentBS Moment, BS Core, BG 4002, BC 4500, BS1, BL18, BL19, BL8000 + RCV1, A6, M5, M3, A1, P6 (tks Botty), H5, TR1
Razlaw:They appear to be around midnight, assuming the times indicated are local.
Razlaw:Very similar to what mine shows. However, your appears to show it every day. With my Core it does not occur daily, it is much more sporadic and never needs a manual restart/reboot.
Interesting, thanks. I wonder why it's different. When looking at my Core logs, at the time the restart occurs, the process schedules the next day one. I'll ask B&O, will see if I get an answer.

Sandyb:Am I missing something? Someone enlighten me
Someone enlighten me
First, I think a lot of people never knew about the Beolink feature, maybe because they didn't had enough capable B&O devices to make use of it, or, as I wrote earlier, because vendors don't promote this feature as it should. For me it was the main reason to acquire more B&O products.
Second, the recent software updates, Core excepted, seem to have improved AP2/Beolink cohabitation with other non-B&O AP2 devices, i.e. a B&O device receiving AP2 stream and having other B&O products joined to it via Beolink, are now all playing in perfect sync with other non-B&O AP2 devices, this is my understanding.
Thanks.
So no overhaul then?
not trying to be difficult, just asking, as even my stuff seems more or less well in sync, and generally always has (combining AP and NL)

Mine too has always been in sync airplaying video sound to my essence 2, even when also joined to my legacy masterlink speakers through the converter. Maybe to do with cooperation with other brand AP2 speakers as mentioned.
