How to Update Internet Explorer on Beomedia 1 to IE7 (official Microsoft instructions)

Stoobietoo — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 16:05:36 GMT

I have a posting in the general forum here.

Basically I have discovered that Microsoft have a work around to install Internet Explorer IE7 onto windows XPe which is on the Beomedia. It is the official Microsoft site and the links telling you how to do it are in that posting.

Unfortunately although I know a fair amount about PCs, the instructions are not in lay man's terms and I cannot really understand what I need to do. Can anyone who knows a little about windows & maybe programming help?

Please take a look at the link and answer there if you can help, thank you!

Beomedia 1. A few questions before mine arrives.

Stoobietoo — Thu, 19 Jan 2012 15:54:32 GMT

I have just purchased a "new" unused BM1 from a B&O dealer. I have read extensively on here about the issues with installing it with Vista and getting the network running etc. I have also read up on its capabilities as far as music and photos go. I see that it can play videos as well but that depends on installing codecs etc.

I currently have an ATV-1 which does everything I want, music, photos, video & simple web surfing (you tube, google, facebook). I know I need to install Beoplayer. I already use that on my PC and have the current version. What will I need to do when I get the BM1?

I have a non HD Beovision 5 and Beosound 9000 (N.Music capable) masterlinked in the main room and 4 Beolab Pentas (2 in the main room & 2 in a wireless link room), a wired Beolab3500 in another room and 2 wireless Beolab 2000's in a futher 2 rooms.

So my questions are :-

1. Where do I install Beoplayer? On the BM1? On my PC? Both places?

2. If I play audio/video on the BM1 will I still have the delay in the sound in the other link rooms? I currently get a delay in link rooms when using my ATV-1 for music/video due to the known issues with audio sync and flat screen TVs..

3. Can I install VLC player on the BM1? (the reason being VLC has almost every codec needed for the files I use) A posting on here suggests you can by logging onto the "PC part" of the BM1 (ie not the B&O layer if that makes sense?) If so, do you make VLC the default player for those file types? the posting dealing with VLC doesn't actuall say what to do.

4. Would I benefit from running the B&O Configuration Guide for the optioning of everything or will it be straight forward/common sense? (I cannot get the giude to run on my PC and have started a thread on that). If so i can borrow a laptop to put it on.

5. Will I be able to acces external drives connected to my PC which will be wired (not wireless) to the BM1, or am I better of transferring all the files onto the BM1.

6. Will I be able to mute the TV picture once I start playing music files on my BV5 (at the moment I cannot mute the picture when playing my ATV-1).

7. Would I be able to install Skype & a webcam and use that in the "PC part" of the BM1 (or better still in the B&O layer.

Please excuse all the questions and I'm sure I'll have more once it arrives early next week.

Thanks for any help in advance

Beoport & CD-Ripping

BeoIce — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 12:34:39 GMT

After setting up my beoport for the DIY Beomedia project today I tried to rip a CD to the computer.

Is it normal, that the ripping process takes as much time as listening to the full CD it self ?

Did I do something wrong when ripping ?

I've got more than 300 CDs. I do not have the time to listen to all CDs to have them ripped. Anyone know a faster way to do it and to get the right mp3-Tag info and covers for Beoport ?

Any help would be fine.

Regards

How to setup external IR receiver

guidovangool — Sat, 19 Nov 2011 16:25:04 GMT

Hello All,

I have a Beomedia connected to a Beovision 6-22 using a Scart connection.

The Beovision 6 obviously has no PC option.

I have connected an old style IR-receiver to the Beomedia (one from an old MCL-AV kit). Connected the 5V / ground / data to a 3.5mm plug.

If I use a Beo4 the IR-receiver blinks shortly, so I think it receives and transmits signals.

It seems the beomedia does not do anything with the signal.

I tried to setup the beomedia to be able to listen to the V.AUX or V.TAPE2 commands in the setup menu. (Red - 9 - 0 - 0 - Go using a keyboard). However everytime I connect back, the options for VM and source are greyed out and set to default PC. Even when using the PC command on a Beo4, the Beomedia seems not to respond.

(By the way, when the beomedia is connected to a BV7 with a ML cable, it works using a Beo4, but that's not my television... unfortunately)

Any suggestions on settings?

Beoport and Beocenter 2

sergi0 — Tue, 04 Oct 2011 17:21:42 GMT

Hi Folks,

I have installed a Beoport between my Beocenter 2 and my PC, but at first there was no sound... I use a jack between the PC and the Beoport and it's work!

BUT... I was thinking that the Masterlink was the only cable I have to plug as it was able to transport sound. It seems not, but I may have miss something...

By the way, in case I get a Beomedia 1, do I need to use Masterlink and Audio jack cable?

thanks in advance,

cheers,

sergio

Beoport and Windows 2003 Server

BeoIce — Mon, 12 Sep 2011 02:34:17 GMT

Hi all,

as I'm getting a beosound 9000 MK III soon, I would like to know if it is possible to use a Windows 2003 server with beoport instead of a normal pc. The server is already running 24h, so there would be no need to keep a second machine running.

As far as I understand Beoport streams music over masterlink to a compatible audio system.

How does everything else work ? Does it work like streaming videos/music from a nas ? I currently have this windows 2003 server and a playstation 3 to stream movies from the server to my tv. Beoport should do the same but to the beosound 9000.

Is my understanding of beoport right and will it work as I want it to work ?

Bluetooth & Beocenter 2300/2500 strange behaviour

AT — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 02:03:38 GMT

Dear all,

I had a very strange expreience yesterday.

I was an idea to add a Belkin Bluetooth receiver (http://www.belkin.com/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id=508754) to my Beocenter 2500+Beolab4500 system via the AUX connector, but it had the most strange behaviour I've ever seen. The sound turns on, but it sounds like DIGITALLY JAMMED, just like if You try to listen to a very badly scratched CD, or an extraim wrong digital connection, some data is missing, some frequency are missing, and it's sounds totally fake! Unfortunately, I was not able to record it, but imagine the sound like this (noisy!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dzvvk9BBC30 with some bad quality music in the background.

Of course, my first thought was, that the digital link or the receiver is wrong, so I tried to use the receiver and the dongle in just inches away, but there was no difference. After this, I started to test the items, and:

- The receiver works absolutely fine with my notebook, so there is no problem neither with the receiver, nor the transmission,

- I replaced the music source with a different bluetooth source (mobile phone -> PC), but there was no change, the behaviour remained the same,

- I changed the source and the destination computer - the system worked just perfect.

There was only one strange thing: The 5 pin connection to the Beocenter seemed a little bit grounding problem (there was the usual deep growling sound), but as I was used a brand new 5 pic connector, it can't be the problem, so I thought, maybe the connector is wrong inside the Beocenter 2500. So to check it, I was tried the bluetooth system in my other Beosystem 2300, and...

... IT WAS ACTED THE SAME WAY!

So, the only part I was not replaced was the 3.5 jack-5 pin connector, BUT the problem seems totally different, as the sound is not bad - with for example a huge noise in the bacground - but JAMMED, just like a real bad digital sound!! How can it be, as an audio connection can not act this way?

OR, is it possible, that BEOCENTERS use DIFFERENT connectors, as all the other 5 pin DIN connectors?!

Have You ever had an experience like this? Do You have any idea on what else can I try?

Thank You for reading, and in advance!

And suddently the connection between my computer and my Beovision 7-32 does not work anymore

Francois1er — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 17:03:34 GMT

Hello everybody,

I was quite proud of having linked my computer to my BV7-32 Mk1 to my computer and use is as a great computer screen. It was quite some work, but with enough trying, I made it.

The problem is that it does not work anymore. I thought I just had to start the TV first and then the computer ( with the right resulution), but suddently this is not the right thing anymore. I have the same problem in both linux and windows, I tried every possible start sequence. I set the computer on PC or PC-AV when it is present, the connection are on AV4...

Does anybody who really master this have an idea?

Be seing you

François

Beoport / Beoplayer is making me crazy!

stampfki — Sun, 31 Jul 2011 13:00:25 GMT

Hi,

trying to install the newest Beoplayer. Unfortunately after installation it is not asking to plug in the USB of the Beoport. When I put it in Windows XP asks for the driver and does not install it automatically.

Beomedia 1 I updated the Internet Explorer myself (and feel very stupid doing so)

Capture — Sat, 12 Mar 2011 09:22:39 GMT

Dear fellow members,

I have a BM1 for several years and use it every day with much pleasure.

I started noticing when surfing the web that more and more pages could not be viewed anymore due to using IE 6. so i thought: let's upgrade!

now i have installed IE 8 on the BM 1 and gues what: no web browsing is possible anymore :-(

so my message is: do not do this!!

my question: any thoughts or ideas how to browse the web again with BM 1?

and yes, i know it is my own mistake....

many thanks in advance,

Ton

N.RADIO on Beomedia1 not working-Please help

DrDimitris — Sat, 12 Mar 2011 03:51:35 GMT

My Beomedia1 hooked up to my BV7-32 was working as should for some time now. It seems that something happened and now i can access all menu normally, but when i press N.RADIO it says ..<<Not registered!>. My PC on the other end of the network has the Beoport programm running normally. Is there an issue with the server? I tried all kind of resets and even reinstalled Beoport on the PC, with no luck. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Sound from PC to Beomaster 7000

lenhi — Sun, 03 Jul 2011 03:40:11 GMT

I connected to the soundcard in the pc, and then to the TV/AUX in the 7000 back panel, and I just get a tiny crackle when I connect and disconnect the plug. I have tried Foobar, VLC; nothing works, though the salesman said it would. Is there a setting I am missing?

Getting unaltered digital out from PC to AE

js — Mon, 21 Feb 2011 06:41:37 GMT

The Beo-Mac section of the forum very well explains how to get unaltered digital signal out of a Mac playing iTunes (directly from the Mac or via the Airport Express optical digital out) by by-passing the internal audio handling of the Mac (as any internal sound processor will alter the sound). The unaltered digital signal is then fed to an external DAC for uncompromised quality.

Could someone explain how to do the same result with a PC playing iTunes via Airport Express: how does one by-pass the PC audio handling and get unaltered digital signal from the Airport Express?

Thanks, js

MPEG=4 Files

Craig — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 05:29:03 GMT

Just discovered that the Windows Media Player 11 and 12 will play MPEG=4 files. Just transferred some files onto the PC. However I cannot get Beoplayer to find them. Is there a way around this? Or will I neeed to convert them to either MP3 off WMA files first?

Beosystem 2 Wireless to PC

DJSmith — Wed, 29 Dec 2010 04:31:24 GMT

I hope you can help. I have a beosystem 2 connected to my PC wirlessly through the BS2 aux and a Squeezebox. It works fantastically but is annoying in that it takes up the only aux available on the PS2 and requires two remotes to operate. I would like to use N.Radio and N.Music through a beoport but have not worked out how to connect the beoport wirlessly to the PC. I have no way of getting a long masterlink cable from the beoport to the PS2 or long ethernet and audio cable from the PC to the beoport.

Has anyone come up with a solution?

Thanks very much for your consideration.

As an aside the squeezebox is a good solution and way better than the airport express which a friend has and is pretty hopeless.

Cheers.

Can Multiple BeoPlayers access one BeoMedia?

Hildebrand — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 14:51:53 GMT

Can multiple computers with BeoPlayer installed access the same BeoMedia1?

Was trying to setup a second notebook with BeoPlayer thus no matter what computer I am using I can access my music on the BeoMedia 1. Yet even though I can see the BeoMedia in the Network, it either isn't accepting the password when requested or it just isn't seeing the BM1. ANyone have similar issue?

I reset the password on the BM1 already to make sure I knew what it was, but still no lucking getting the 2nd notebook to connect.

Beomedia 1 Connection / IR

Hildebrand — Wed, 01 Dec 2010 07:51:17 GMT

Greetings everyone...

So I final got around to setting up the BeoMedia 1 that I acquired a while back. My current setup is both a BeoSystem 1, BV4-50 and BeoSound 9000 in the same room with all speakers connected to the BS1 (Beolab 1 & Beolab 6000). To my knowledge the BS1 is set to Option 2 and the BeoSound 9000 is set to Option 0.

1) Does it really matter which of the rear connection (DVD, V.TAPE, etc) I connect the S-Video, Video, L & R Audio, COAX to?

2) Notice in the BM1 Setup Guide it say "IR receiver (only required in some setups)" is that referring to where in the BM Installation Guide 'BeoLink Media Installation Guide' it states "used if the TV in question has an application software installed which do not support a full integrated BeoLink Media setup and then I am assuming in that case I would be required to also setup a Beoport/BeoLink PC2 or be required to connect a seperate link eye directly to the BM1?

Beomedia 1

Hildebrand — Mon, 23 Nov 2009 04:49:01 GMT

Grettings all... Just recently acquired a used BeoMedia 1 at a resonable price to add to my setup ( BV4-50, BS1, BL1, BL4000, BL6000). I have tried looking through the post after jk1002 pointed out that this forum existed, thanks by the way jk1002 !

After looking at the installation guide for software version 3.0, I noticed that it shows the BeoMedia being connected directly to the BeoVision. Shouldn't I be connecting the S-Video and Audio outs into the BS1 under say V.Aux inputs along with the Masterlink going between my BS1 and BM1? Also, is it necessary to have the VGA cable connected at all times? Or is that only necessary when you want to access the service side of the BeoMedia 1, accessing the Windows interface itself to do configuration stuff?

Also curious does anyone know in regards to the USB and Firewire connection on the unit, I assume that an extrenal HD can be connected via them in order to hold all the data files (music, photo, video)? Or can the BeoMedia be configured to access a Network Storage Drive? The default 250GB is rather small and seeing that the largest ATA Ultra-133 HD available seems to be 500GB there's really not much room for upgrading in order to expand the internal storage.

Regards,

Hiller
