Tested at my dealer with my laptop running th latest software: works just fine, alto the color keys. Frontrow not quite, it opens when "PC" is pressed but that's it.

Color keys yes, Frontrow I don't know. I don't use it. Never been a big fan of it.

I'm running Leopard, iTunes 7.6, and BM Link 1.5 and it works perfectly.

So,

is Maarten the only one who has no problems while running Leopard and iTunes 7.6? I'd like to buy the BeoPC/Beolink but am hesitant due to these reported problems. What is the current situation?

With iTunes 7.6 (and BM-link 1.5) everything is back to normal, even the YBRG buttons work again.

Great News!!! I will test it this evening ... and sent some feedback

It's not work, at all!!! I try everything, restart all Link Devices, Install BM-Link again, update BeoPort ..... Nothing worked.

You are shure that Leopard and BM-Link work together?

@wv02447:

BM-Link version 1.5 starts Front Row using the command 'tell application "Front Row" to activate'.
But this doesn't work for Front Row version 2.x.x. This only works for Front Row version 1.x.x.
You have to write your own script to start Front Row.
For example Beo4VRC does it like this:
tell application "System Events"
     tell process “Front Row”
         key code 53 using {command down}
     end tell
end tell

How about controlling Frontrow?

Have you made the changes? it would be nice if you could publish/send us the new applescripts...

Re: Leopard and BM-Link 1.5

You can easily create your own Apple Scripts and use them with BM-Link and control in basicly any appliction on your Mac with your BEO4.

With a small change to the existing Frontrow script in BM-Link, you can control Frontrow again under Leopard.

wtlc2zpx:
I think it is really a shame now that the guy behing BM-Link has not yet updated the software for leopard and the latest version of itunes. it has been several months now.
it is a shame as well that B&O are not supporting the mac themselves, but rely on the goodwill of independent developers.
p.

I am agree ... I wrote him a EMail and also offer to pay for his outstanding work. I got as answer, that he is looking for the right test environment ... but after months no new Update. What could we do ... as a Mac User.
