Roger:On December 21st B&O released Version 1.00.2485. Roger
Hi,
No - this update did not make any difference to me. B&O says it solves issues related to connecting to the nearest access point and other minor bugs.
I'm also experiencing wifi issues with 1.00.2196. That's a pity because the playmaker is a very nice piece of equipment from a functional perspective. Just installed update 1.00.2485. I will post my results.
BeoVision 11-55, BeoLab 8000, BeoRemote One BT, AppleTV 4, 2x BeoPlay A2, BeoPlay A1
I will install it in the next couple of days.
I too think it's a good effort by B&O. Unfortunately the one thing that would make it outstanding is out of their hands. The ability to Airplay to multiple Airplay Speakers from an iOS or ATV would make this a really great product. I know it can be done from a Mac, but I don't like having to fiddle with my computer to listen to music around the house. Let's hope Apple gets this done. I had my whole house on ML until I moved recently, so I'm spoiled!
Like I said in my original post: The aesthetics are completely off, but I can live with it.
peria:Does any one know the current software build?
Since I don't have WiFi issues I can't report anything about this - but with the new version we've got balance adjustment as well as tone control via "Speaker" and "A.Setup"
I'm running 1.00.2485 for a couple of days now. To me the software update makes a world of a difference. I've not had one single connection dropped since the install. I'm enjoying it very much now, really much much better.
re Joost
My PM runs on the original software without any problems.
I will not update at the moment - espescially because the updateprocedure is a pain in the ar..
Grrr! Millemissen
There is a tv - and there is a BV

Guys,
I try to update the software to the latest, and did as instructed to hook up the ethernet cable, but it did not promt me to next step and only showing the current software (old version)
Anyone ?

Not that I don't know how to do it...
....but my PM is hid away,
To get the networkcable connected you have to remove the other cables.
Opening and closing the PM wasn't that easy either.
Some people even complain that the updating-process is not smooth at all.
My BM runs perfect at the moment.
These things all together tell me NOT to do the update at the moment. So why should I?
Grrr! millemissen

Sure, it´s up to everyone do decide on upgrade or not.
Since you wrote that the "update procedure" was a pain, I thought there was a problem.
Agree that its tricky to open the PM, and if it´s tucked away that adds to it.
But the update procedure as such is quite easy I must say.

Thanks Hiort,
I did follow all the steps, but the last step "app will guide me part" is not happening......
Weird thing is that if I connect PM to ethernet cable first and switch on the power, my iPhone would not find PM at all, but when disconnected from ethernet cable, iPhone would find PM.
I'll give it a try again, hopefully it works !!
Having to plug it into the base station seems a bit old fashion to me. I understand why they feel it should be done this way, but there are lots of devices that don't need a wired connection to be updated. For example, ATV, Ipod Touch, Iphone, Ipad, etc.
I'm the first one to admit that wifi can be flaky, but surely having to uninstall your system to update is not the best way.
mickhoog:I will do the firmware update. Presently my PM is connected to the network so I don't see why I need to connect to Ethernet. But if its the way then so be it. Perhaps there might be a firmware update that fixes this lol. I'm not having any issues with my PM. I love it! And the aesthetics.
