Beomaster 5: Networkinfo

6 replies
In the "settings menu" on the screen of the BS5 I see: (translated into Enlish from Dutch) Hostname: BeoMaster Location: empty IP-address: 192.168.1.119 customers connected: 0 Networkconnection: No Bonjour-status: registration accomplished Status Musicserver: busy Name shared map: BM-SHARE$ Username: BM-User My questions:
  1. "Why is the networkconnection indicated as "no"?
  2. Why is the status of the Musicserver on "busy"? Already for 2 months....
Thanks for replying if you are familiar with these settings. Joris

Hi Joris, my fully working and connected BS/BM5 also shows a NO at NETWORK CONNECTION. The 'Installation guide' does have a section for 'Testing the network connection'. For the MUSIC SERVER status: maybe you can switch off (disable) the MUSIC SERVER, and see if the system still says that it is busy? In case you have it switched on, it could mean that the system is busy (or stuck) rebuilding the server, or just busy executing its server duty? Mine says DISABLED. Regards, Johan

How about MOTS? with large collections it will take a long time to complete! so I would first switch of MOTS (if applicable) and see what happens. And changes in the music collection or every restart interrupt the completion of MOTS.
Hi Carolpa, On your advice I disabled MOTS. (Don't use it anyway). I try and see. I will let you know and thanks foor replying. greetz, Jos

Hi Johan and Carolpa, I've disabled MOTS, but uptil now there is no change. I've indeed restarted the BM5 several times, so lets have some patience. Another problem many of the BM5 users, included myself is SOLVED: It's about the impossibility to make connection / drivemapping to the shared map "Music".  After a security update from Microsoft it was not possible anymore to connect in this way. Now, with the newly released update this is FIXED. See the reaction from Q&A from Microsoft: "Ik ben Sumit, hier om te helpen met je vraag. Excuses voor het ongemak - ik help je graag vandaag. Er is één doorlopend probleem met betrekking tot netwerkshares. Microsoft heeft het opgelost met een optionele update die gisteren is uitgebracht.https://support.microsoft.com/topic/september-29-2025-kb5065789-os-build-26100-6725-preview-fa03ce47-cec5-4d1c-87d0-cac4195b4b4e Installeer hetzelfde via Instellingen > Windows-update en laat het me weten.
