Beosound 5 Encore & DNLA server

2 replies
Hi everyone ! I am mostly writing this post to help people, or future me, to address a problem with BS5E and shuting down the device. I recently move back my DNLA server from a dedicated Synology to a twonky server running on one of my machine (I had a perpetual licence I got with a LOEWE TV). Each time I turned off the BS5E, it auto wake up a couple of minutes later. I tried everything I could think of in term of configuration on the BS5E and finally ask ChatGPT who was able to give me the correct hint : it was probably wakeup by the DNLA broadcast, or something like that. I did verify that when Twonky was shutdown, the BS5E was also correctly shuting down. I tried several configuration on the server side, but with no luck. I did upgrade the Twonky Server to 8.5.1 and some new option makes it possible to limit the broadcast responsible for the BS5E waking up. Note to BS5E owner : I tried a couple of DNLA server only to realize that this protocol is so flex that implementation varies a lot, meaning that depending on the DNLA server, the BS5E won't be able to access the data. Twonky works for sure, and that was the case with what was used by my Synology NAS, but not all will work. I hope this helps someone ! S.
Twonky works om a BS5e, the same said for Minimserver (I prefer this one, especial when used with the newer NL devices).
