hello,

 

The IR Receiver might be just fine. I once bought the special version for the PC2 and noticed that while the lettering was missing it had the full functionality. It is more a matter of the cable and connector. See attachment. Regards Harald

EDIT: doesn´t my beoport use the ir port of my 3200? so frontrow must work?

Try it with your keyboard and press APPLE + ESC. Then Front Row should start.

And enable it in the system registry BM-Link tab.

If this works, you only have to get an IR eye like me.

thanks for your reply.

Does anyone know any kind of IR-repeating hardware to get signal of my Beo4 in others rooms sent to the IR eye in the office?

(It's not possible connect 2 IR-Eye in the same socket of beoport.)

Yesterday I bought a universal Ir-repeating, but it doesn't work with beo4.

Luis,

What is the reason you cannot connect multiple infrareds on the beoport? Is it because an interference will occur? Maybe a simple solution is to put a diode between the signal leads of each infrared? If you would add a lot of infrareds I think it will drain to much power from the beoport. But you can ask a dealer or a technician to work out a small diagram.

I thought use a minijack (headphone) splitter (stereo), but the technician said it's would cause same error o conflict.

Anders recommended a IR-repeating, but i don't know any IR-repeating B&O-compatible.

frontrow works, but not with my beo 4. so i have to buy an ir eye. i thought i could use frontrow over my ir eye in my beosound 3200 :(

how much is the ir eye!?

I use now 2 IR sensors from Lintronic.

Coolskin:

I use now 2 IR sensors from Lintronic.

d: 1 simple IR sensor for the window screens

e: 1 expensive IR sensor for Beoport. (This IR sensor was connected to the screens till today)

d: TT-IR-1455 is a miniature thumbnail (B&O) 455 KHz infrared receiver. (very limited IR range)

e: TT-IR-8087030 is a plasma-protected (B&O designed) 455 KHz infrared receiver.

Yes Domini, you need an IR sensor.

Anders Odlund,

Pressing 2 on the remote will show 22 on the BS3200.

Coolskin:

Pressing 2 on the remote will show 22 on the BS3200.

It must be that the IR sensor and the BV7 pick up the same signal.

How can I undo that?

 

Really amazing job Mr. BM-Link :D

I have a question ! If I include an elgato solution to my mac setup,elgato will normally add a new symbol to the front-row intreface for recording tv-signals. Can I use this with the Beo4 over Infra-red Eye ?

Should be OK as long as they stick to the same commands that the Apple Remote is using which I think is the case with the elgato solution. All BM link does is sending the up down right left go menu signals to the software in the same way the Apple Remote would do ..... Everything is done via these keys ... shouldnt matter if you have 4 apps or 5 apps in front row ... that is the brialliance they have in that navigation model that they have chosen .....

JK thanks for your explanation it sounds logical.

Let me explain how my Elgato DVB-S integrates into Front-Row. If I press the MENU button on my Apple front-row remote for 2 seconds the full-screen elgato menu appears. So with BM-Link software I have to press the PC button on my Beo4 to call frontrow menu, does the bm-link realize that I'm pressing the PC button for 2-3 seconds ?

Hi Luis,

I've now got the correct IR eye connected to my Beoport, and it works fine! Quite amazing really.

 
The G4 iMac is a bit slow to respond sometimes and the sound can cut out for a second when I make menu selection with Beo4. I might use this as an excuse to justify an upgrade to a Mac Mini, Macbook or Macbook Pro!

Thanks again for your help.
 

Update on BM-Link 1.5 + FrontRow + (old) Mac Mini:

> If I press the MENU button on my Apple front-row remote for 2 seconds the full-screen elgato menu appear<<

I have a Power PC and I used Enabler program and I was able to Install Front Row using the Enabler program (Thanks A.E.).  Front Row is currently work fine but I can not use my Beo4 remote to control it.  Because I get an message when I try the to check the box in BM-Link 1.50.1 for "Front Row Integration"   -   [ ] Activate Front Row using PC/L-PC

At first I was able to patch the files and then installed MacOSXUpdCombo10.4.9PPC.dmg.  Now I can not patch the files again :(.  I think I need to uninstallMacOSXUpdCombo10.4.9PPC.dmg.  But how do I uninstall that or should I try something else first? I have a Power PC Mac Mini with OS 10.4.9 and on the Beoport firmware 1.31. 

 
What I have tried:

I have launched Front Row hoping BM-LINK would register it - not use if this work

Uninstall BM-Link 1.50  and Downloaded an installed the new version 1.50.1 - not working

 
I have the : TT-IR-8087030 is a plasma-protected (B&O designed) 455 KHz infrared receiver connected to my Beoport

What am I missing... Please Help...

 
Thanks

Didn't know there was an update for BM-link frontrow enabling version 1.50.1... If I can find the latest version, I can try it again. I now have deinstalled 1.5 and installed 1.0

Your sensor couldn't be the problem. I have the same and it performs o.k.

What I experienced was that (even in L-PC) the sensor AND the BS3200 react on the BEO4. That will cause errors on the BS3200 (i.e. 2 will change in 22 on the BS3200)

>>"Front Row Integration"   -   [ ] Activate Front Row using PC/L-PC<<

I found the problem like 10 minutes after my post. LOL    In the System Perfrences, under Universal Access I had to check the box to "Enable Access of assistive devices".  Once I checked the box I used the P-PC button on my Beo4 remote and it worked great. Controls Front Row with no problems expect fast scrolling.  Has anyone documented Key to use on the Beo4 for Front Row or is it just the buttons around the GO button. 

Coolskin did you have that box checked?

Thanks for the quick responses...

Brendon
