I operate my BS 9000 integrated in the ML – NL network via BLC. I can join its music / sources on my Emerge, BS 2, Essence or BV Eclipse. It is working flawlessly and for the first two units it is working wirelessly. And it’s such a beautiful sight to see – I am never getting tired of its look on the wall and the smooth operation of its functions.

Kind regards,

Rolf

@HAWK

I am not using chromecast, though it shows as „enabled“. My sw version is 1.28.102057, so, far behind what seems to be the latest version. I cannot help here, sorry.

Kind regards,

Rolf

Hi,

I am operating some BLC and had a similar issue once with one of the units. I had to reset it and after that it was working fine again. Maybe this could be worth a try?

Kind regards,

Rolf

Hi Johan,

that is great, good news. Reading your post, I went straight trying it with my Beo 4, but was not successful, still. No numbers nor up-and-down buttons release a switch.

I will check my Essence settings at the weekend, if there may be time. Might be a difference to the core. I keep my fingers crossed. And thank you for the information!

Hallo John,

das freut mich für Dich. Viel Spaß mit diesen wirklich gut klingenden und unglaublich schön designten Beolab!

Herzliche Grüße,

Rolf

[Rolf2]

Hallo John,

sieh Dir doch mal die Angebote auf ebay und -Kleinanzeigen für die BL 3000 / 4500 an. Dann könntest Du den Wert der angebotenen Beolab für Dich einschätzen und überlegen, ob und wie das zu Deiner Preisvorstellung für Dein Angebot paßt.

Zu der kaputten Dustcap kann ich leider keine Unterstützung geben. Ich habe 3 Paar BL 3000 / 4500 bei mir, die waren alle in einem guten und technisch einwandfreien Zustand.

Viel Erfolg,

Rolf

Just to complete the information about B&O Radio and the BeoSound Moment, may be some will find it useful.

Customer Service informed me that the Moment is not and will not be upgradable to B&O Radio.

Although TuneIn will be swept from all other devices, it will remain for the Moment to be used with. So, in a way, I think it can be a positive aspect, if using a Moment in the network, it is possible to access both B&O Radio and TuneIn, still.

Kind regards,

Rolf

Go and grab one and enjoy your ML products working together with NL products!

Kind regards,

Hello Xavier,

Johan has mentioned what is to my knowledge the final sw version. Last year, I had to order a repair of one of my BLC ´ s and they needed to exchange the electronics completely. So, more or less a new unit, and it says sw is on 1.4.3.19864. You should be careful indeed, and buy only a BLC with the latest sw version. If it is on a lower level sw version, it may be so because of faulty electronics.

The sw versions of the BLC are, from latest to older:

1.4.3.19864 – Final version

1.4.3.19816

1.4.2.19611

1.4.1.19522

Those are the ones I know about.

Kind regards,

Rolf

It’s that time of year again for us to watch Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ character lament the complete destruction of her beloved Beosystem 4500.

Absolute lovely movie, I slow-mo´d this scene several times, truely great! And heartbreaking. In German TV it has several different titles, this year it is „Schöne Bescherung“ (which I do not know how to translate, it describes the time of Christmas Day in Germany, when the young and old kids receive their Christmas presents).

From tomorrow until 26th it will be broadcasted seven times over TV.

Thanks Rolf. Maybe it is the Core that needs a bit of software work then. I am afraid I cannot help you with the Moment [edit] issue. Best of luck!

Johan,

I was too quick with my conclusion. The Beo 4 still does not switch the radio station when starting the Essence. Using the app and then the Beo 4 – like before – enables the remote to switch the station.

Concerning the Moment, I made a follow up request to customer service.

So, after returning to my home, I tried the migration I did trigger during the week in the app, et voilá, it proved to be working – almost.

All devices are working, except my BS Moment. It shows B&O radio surface as well as TuneIn, but is still fixed on TuneIn. Even if I set it in radio services on B&O Radio (which I had to do by ticking the circled box manually), it plays TuneIn. A manual switch to B&O radio brings up the “not supported” message.

In the menu of the connected BLC I also am able to only select TuneIn. it does not show B&O radio as my other BLC does.

Anyone here who has done the migration with the Moment?

Strangely, the afore mentioned second BLC, connected to my BS Essence MK II, says in the app menu, that it is integrated with the Moment, which it definitely is not.

@Johan:

After having set all devices to B&O Radio, it seems that I am able to switch radio stations with Beo4 and BR1 in IR mode, if I start the Essence with my remotes. Still, I am not sure yet, if I did something with the app before using the remotes, so I will keep testing.

Rolf

[Rolf2]

I received very quick feedback from B&O customer support, great service! Stating, my app not being on the newest sw level. That proved to be true, although I do not know why it did not update automatically. First, there was no possibility to update, but checking several times in the app shop, eventually it said „update“ and I did. My app is now at sw version 4.4.2.22112852170. Could anybody confirm, please?

I am traveling at the moment, so I will check when I am home at the weekend.

@Johan:

B&O told me to try, if the problem with the Beo 4 persists after the update. If so, I will go back to customer service again.

Rolf

[Rolf2]

@Tignum:

My Essence MK II received the same update. It is connected as primary to a BLC, set up as A.Master. I use in one part of this ML network a BL Active with two BL 4500. TuneIn is mapped to Radio on a Beo 4. I cannot switch radio stations with my remote after starting Radio, though it is possible to start it with my Beo 4.

I also have opened a ticket at customer service for this issue, and also for the non functional B&O Radio migration.

Rolf

My Eclipse 1st Gen updated automatically. The latest sw version is indeed what you see in your BV.

Have you set updates to auto or manually?

Kind regards,

Rolf

Christian today posted a bunch of articles / links on the Discord server, explaining all the changes to functionality (explains change in my Buttons, alarms, one touch operation etc etc) Here are a few of them, though its probably easier to read his long Discord post. https://support.bang-olufsen.com/hc/en-us/articles/8716445177745 https://support.bang-olufsen.com/hc/en-us/articles/9940012232081 https://support.bang-olufsen.com/hc/en-us/articles/9940005580689 https://support.bang-olufsen.com/hc/en-us/articles/10855168034833 https://support.bang-olufsen.com/hc/en-us/articles/10275507993489

Thanks for pointing towards the explanation, that helps to understand. Unfortunately I cannot operate according to the hints how to toggle between radio services, because it is not available in my app.

Rolf

[Rolf2]

Could it be the case that some of the disfunctional behavior of the migration is due to the connection of the respective device with a BLC?

So far there has been no one with a proper working migration in the Eclipse. The Essence seems to migrate but not mine. It is connected with a BLC, same with my Moment. So maybe this causes a stop to the migration process somehow. Anybody else with migration trouble and in a similar set up?

@Rolf2 Could you post the exact number of the sw version…..or just say, if it is identical with the one I posted here? MM

MM, I would say, they are identical. Here are my sw versions:

Essence MK II: 2.1.50867

Beosound 2: 2.1.50871

Moment: 2.2.31594

Eclipse 1st Gen: 5.3.51126

I also have a BLGW which is already integrated in my network but not yet in use. In summer I started programming – but did not progress in the last 3 month – and thus have some sources active. As ebnrob wrote, I can see B&O Radio in the sources, though I get a mixed result:

Eclipse shows TuneIn + B&O Radio.

Essence shows TuneIn + B&O Radio.

Moment only shows TuneIn.

Selecting B&O Radio in the BLGW does not trigger playing it through the source („waiting for product“).

I hope they will get it fixed soon, would be nice having „B&O Radio“ listed in my BR1ˋs ?.

Kind regards,

Rolf
