I'm so surprised that, from all PC based solutions, BeoMedia is the one that has almost never been updated, although it is the most expensive solution:
BeoPlayer & BeoPort can show CD art covers, BeoMedia can't
Nor can it play video files (any PC can do that)
Nor can it play Dolby Digital sound (although it has a digital output)!
I had BeoPort & considered buying BeoMedia to have more features, but apart from remote controlling photos, what does it do??NMUSIC & NRADIO are remote controlled with BeoPort, and since you always need a PC, it is much easier & cheaper to connect your PC with BeoPort to your BeoVision ; besides, the video connections on your PC are probably more up to date than the ones on BeoMedia.
Eventually I even sold my BeoPort that caused a lot of bugs on my PC soundcard, and now only use BeoPlayer with a PC software to remote control the application by Beo4.
I would like BeoMedia to act as a real PC (I don't need 2 PCs in my home!) where you can setup the B&O application like on BeoPort, and operate like BeoCenter 2 (as an audio master with one video source) with access to NMUSIC and NRADIO by simply pressing RADIO or AMEM, then pressing PC would access a true PC mode, and if you want PHOTO you would select one of the beo4 coloured keys..and a VMEM feature would be nice to playback your VOB or DVIX files, since BeoMedia is sold as a video product.
This product could have been so great, and yet B&O uses 10% of its potential; I don't understand..
