Im wondering how long i can go without updating any of my software (i.e itunes, BV8, BM LINK).......

I have a nice working setup with a projector, a 90 inch screen, a Mac Mini, an eyeTV, a BeoPort, and a BeoLab3500, all hooked to the home MasterLink.

Guess what: the Mac is set to never update, and Itunes is set to never update. They way I see it, the Mac Mini is dedicated to the MasterLink just as much as any other ML component.

I may go 10 years without updating an ML component, right, so why would I update the Mac Mini unless strictly necessary, or advised by Phil to do so?

Currently running OS X 10.6.4 on the Mac Mini, iTunes 9.something, and the latest LinkPlayer version. Works beautifully.

I had the same issue this morning when upgrading to Itunes 10, it said the BeoSound plugin made Itunes unable to launch.

I had to go in the Itunes library & remove the plugin, then Itunes opened and I could use BMLink again.

Not sure which s/w used that plug-in ...

I once installed the beoPlayerPlugin as an iTunes plugin thus having access to my Beosound 2 via iTunes.

well LinkPlayer is working ... but I know you use BMLInk and I suspect that is broken by iTunes 10, if I find a work around I will let you know

Oh Dear..... only in another post re software issues on BV8 40 yesterday did I flag a similar issue

When upgrading to itunes 8.2 from 8 I had similar issues. Ive left itunes at 9 for now, not game to upgrade and loose functionality with beoport again! It seems we are at the mercy of kind individuals like Anders Odlund and Philippe continuing to update software.

Im wondering how long i can go without updating any of my software (i.e itunes, BV8, BM LINK)........ When i ranted about this several months ago to B&O the initial response was my system was complicated and not many people go to this level of integration- RUBBISH! I have one link room only and a beoport/mac/bc2 hooked up to my BV8

I had the same problem
Just came on to warn others
Thanks you for your suggested fix
Not sure which s/w used that plug-in ... BMLink or LInkPlayer ... I guess I will soon find out
LinkPlayer's LinkMusic function still worked, as did FrontRow, as did PLEX's iTunes music plugin
So I guess it must be a BMLink function/requirement/dependency

Owning an iMac 24" 2.8 GHz of 2009 I just upgraded iTunes from 9.x to 10 and tried to start it. But due to the BeoPlaerPlugin it failed producing an error code.

I deleted the BeoPlayerPlugin and everything goes well.

Did anybody try the plugin with better success?
