All 3:rd party ir is in the list. Same as recent PUClist. BUT only soft keys.

No 3:rd party hardware ir support

When will they learn....

Is there anything good about the update? 

The key points of this update are:-

It has been tested on a Windows Vista PC with Service Pack 1 installed only. Only the 32 bit versions of Windows Vista and XP are supported.

New features

1. Windows Vista compatible  
2. Lutron and Busch-Jaeger remotes moved into 3rd party accessories  
3. 239 new Peripheral Unit Control (PUC/STB) products added 
4. Logo template updates making previous templates useless 
5. Pre-defined Logo templates for selected markets which are not that helpful
6. Updated Help function

Problems resolved 

1. Cannot name a DVD2 as "DVD" when a DTV module is selected 
2. Command /CD2/ is missing
3. The chosen Logo is not shown

New firmware 1.30a
The Beo5 Configuration Tool version 1.30 comes with Beo5 firmware version 1.30a.

It is not recommended to use configurations made with the Configuration Tool version 1.00, 1.02 and 1.10 on Beo5 remote controls which have not been updated to firmware 1.30a, as the firmware introduces changes to the way logos are handled in the firmware.
Binary files made on earlier versions will not run on firmware 1.30a and will result in "No valid configuration" on the Beo5.

The Tool automatically updates the Beo5 firmware when you download, so this message only appears, if the user prevents the firmware from being updated.

The major negative is that all the logo templates produce by dealers for the previous version will not work with this version unless certain variables in the XML file are manually modified as below:-

If you try and use an existing template then it will hang the tool because it cannot find the variable

The following variables have been changed

• nPreferedRow= is now nRowFinal=
• nPreferedColumn= is now nColumnFinal=
• nPage= has been introduced to define the page for the logo
• nPriority= is no longer used
• <root stVersion="1.0"> root version number has been introduced

I strongly suggest that you DO NOT un-install the previous version and instead run both versions in different directories.

In the coming days I will be updating the Beo5 Resource and Information web page with updated logo files which will work with teh new version. The Beo5 Information & Resource pages are HERE

Keith,

Which size does a logo have to have to get it visible if "created" with sw 1.30a?

I tried to add a Apple and PlayStation logo to a button, it is shown by the configtool, but not after updating the Beo5! Tried different sizes, but it won't work....

Extracted from Here 

 Each logo must be no larger than 100 X 44 pixels with 16.7 million colour setting and is normally in BMP format.

Regards

Quim,

Thanks for that.

Think a created logo's larger than 100x44.......

Will have it another try!

If you create logos greater than 100 x 44 they will not download correctly because of the way the firmware handles them to save memory space in the Beo5

Sounds logical!

Thanks.

 

 

Last time I updated, the DTV (Samsung H360R) wasn't responing to the Beo5....?!

Known bug?

 

No, I do not think so..

Hey,

I only have the old v1.0 so if anybody have the new 1.30a and are willing to share it, please send me a private message or contact me at:
