Hi All,
It's been a while since I've been on here, but I didn't want to exclude you guys. Pretty soon, but no exact date set yet, I'll be having a chat with Mr Anderson about the direction and state of the B&O app. I currently don't really see the vision and with so many revisions in beta it leaves me a bit befuddled about where it's going. So I was going to ask him about that and publish it on my YouTube channel. Since I can only do and ask so much from my own experience, I wanted to reach out to you guys and see if you had any questions and or suggestions you'd like me to ask the B&O App Team. Feel free to leave them here and I'll do my best to get a satisfying answer to it :)
Kind regards,
Michael / Mikipedi4

Questions and or suggestions for the B&O app team

Bring back "_StreamURL" as a choice in the "Sources" menu. It was visible in some versions of the Balance firmware (perhaps by mistake). Or a user interface alternate, make [Triple-Dot] or [Gear] / Music/”Open Stream URL…” become standard in the B&O App, alongside Deezer, Spotify, etc.
See the user's request for some Radio France streams at the top of https://forum.beoworld.org/forums/topic/how-to-add-stations-to-bo-radio/ Trying to be nice to B&O, it doesn't need a whole user interface to add the station to B&O Radio, unless that's easy or on the roadmap. But *absolutely* one should be able to play a stream proffered by a content provider, without having to use some web browser and then divert its audio output using Airplay or Chromecast. P.S. And save the string so one could then put it onto a MyButton!
E.g. from command line with cURL. Replace the IP with the one of your speaker and string with a URL to a radio station.curl --request POST \ --url https://0.0.0.0/api/v1/playback/uri \ --header 'Accept: application/json' \ --header 'Content-Type: application/json' \ --data '{ "location": "string" }'

I think the trend here is the missing internet sources missing from the menu at the top.
Some people also seem to hate the new Multiroom and volume interface.
Personally my main concern with the app is generally navigating between speakers. An iOS widget would also be a blessing.

The other thread is so much that I don't fully know what's up to date any more or not and which issues have been solved or made worse. I have been slightly out of the loop as I was moving internationally and am remodelling a house, but I am getting up to speed again. So if there are any current outstanding questions and or suggestions, I would appreciate it if people would collect them here.
Please and thank you!
I’ be grateful if the Android B&O app would let itself work while in landscape mode.
Whereas the iPad B&O app works in landscape, the Android one does not.
Now that Mr Andersen and the app team - or whoever did it - has decided to honor us with a new redesigned app, why didn’t they think of adding the 4 MyButtons to the Now Playing screen?
We find these MyButtons on the new B&O Mozart devices, on the Beoremote Halo and - not to forget - on the Beoremote One.
Would have been a cool and usefull feature.
Maybe Mikipedi4 could ask that question!
