Hi

I am considering adding a ML Gateway to control my BS5 using iPhone. I can get one really cheap.

But. What app is used for that today - I am confused about the B&O apps there are.

And is it the same app used if you have the Beolink Gateway?

Thanks for your input.

You can use Beolink app, Beolink2 app or Beoliving app with ML-/BLGW.

I`m using Beolink2 app, because Beoliving app doesn`t work properly with BS5 (bugs with browsing content...)

Beolink2 app works nicely with all ML devices, homeautomation and NL devices using ML/NL converter. I have upgraded from MLGW to BLGW - simpler und more fun to program... Beolink - and Beolink2 app still work properly with newest IOS.

Well, I got my MLGW in place, and I can activate my different sources in all rooms using Beolink 2.

But....how do I browse over my Beosound 5 content? I only have BS5 as Master, and I have selected CD as source for my albums in all rooms, but I dont seem to be able to browse my content on the Beolink2 app. I can only select next and previous and adjust volume.

What did I miss out here?

Set ui type to N.MUSIC.

Interface - CD (your source) - UI Type - N.MUSIC.

should do the trick...

Det er fint!

Maybe you are willing to try the Beoliving app, too (?)

As I wrote before, I have problems with the Beoliving app browsing Albums, Artists, Tracks on BS5 .. app is just searching.

I told Khimo about that issue on several occasions, but they apparently won`t solve that bug.

If you have the same problem, I know, I´m not alone  ....
