I will not argue the proposed settings, but.....

the main reason one doesn't see the covers is the BM5 it self. As with MOTS it takes time. It must make aditional covers (small and middle format) of the given covers. This takes a while.

When I installed the sw for the Beo6, I hadn't had a significant update of my music collection for some time. This week I changed the complete Beatles collection from 16 to 24 bit (total of approx 8Gb). Afterward the Beo6 didn't shown the big covers anymore. After a while the original functionallity came back though.

Hi this is summery for 2way-fuction.

1. BS5 AUDIO MASTER / MUSIC SERVER / OPTION : NO SPECIFIC SET UP

2. Beo6 Configuration

1) PC : microsoft NET Framework 3.5 ver installed. (I have no information about MAC)

2) If PC already installed low version such as CTtool 5.11, low version software should be delete completely.

-> C:/bang and olufsen folder should be delete completely after remove low ver cttool S/W on the control panel.

3) If you can see "SERVER IP" button came up on the wifi set up menu, that means upgrade is done correctly. (No Gohost button)

"SERVER IP" button will be come up on the top of "MANUAL" button

4) Laguage : still serching the specific set up. but might be no need to specific language.

3. Etc

1) Resoluton of album art : 600 x 600 max, no specific resolution need

2) Two "N,MUSIC" buttons : There are two "N.MUSIC" buttons will come out. One is same as old fuction (color, MOST,etc...) (red), the other button(white) is shows album arts of current song. You can edit thease buttons in the configuration tool. For example, put the new N.MUSIC" button on the old "N.MUSIC"button.

So now I am solved album art problem. Please refer to thease conditions. I hope it will be help for new customers in the future.

Thank you so much Erik, Brgds Invar, Keith, Stefan, Frankmj !!!!

Hi again

Just to be clear from my side. I did not update the configtool at all. I used the one found on internet and I got the Beo6 to work - even the ghost buttons are now visible.

How can you get the credentials from dealer?

Is it same like ID and Password for online connection?

If it is, not easy to solve by myself.

Thank you.

No, I didn't deleted completely.

But I tried new install the S/W another PC and upgraded.

I thought this is same thing deleted completely. Because my another PC didn't installed CTtool S/W before.

I'm gonna try again after work. Let you know.

Thank you so much Erik.

My problems were exactly the same, inlogging in the tool and it updated itself and after that it was solved. Perhaps I reinstalled between but i dont remember.

The inlogging, is that to Beowise or what can it be? I just borrowed the credentials shortly from my dealer.

Hi Erik.

Thank you for your advice.

Yes, I read that post already. But it doesn't work for BIG single album art. (3 little album arts are no problem)

I tried re-install CTtool5.12 and re-set up WIFI connection also.

My feeling that nobody doesn't know well "standard" condition about use 2 way fuction.

Currect posts seems like just posted as they tried before.

So I'm just make sure which is correct.

Jack.

It doesn't matter how big the album artwork is. BS5 converts them automatically. If I paste a 600x600 artwork on the BS5 it is blurry. I think it is because of the Beo6.

The version of the CT5.12 that I downloaded from Rapidfileshare made some update of it self via Internet when I logged on with credentials that I got from my dealer. After that the same problem as you have were solved and disappered. Some ghost buttons appeared with the right text and all covers in different sizes now work fine.

My album art is mixed with small pictures and large which are scanned.

Audio master yes, music server yes, the others i haven´t checked.
