Update to OS2 and a “remote”

[alandbush]

My system is a semi-old Silver (Bluetooth yes, AirPlay no), a Dialog (to get AirPlay), and a remote control. I’m pondering the OS2 update. I only play on it via AirPlay, so I’m mostly on-board, but the migration talks about remotes thusly:

You can indeed add a remote of the same Devialet OS.

Add a Remote V2 if you update your Phantom/Dialog to DOS2.

Add a Remote V1 if you keep your Phantom/Dialog in DOS1.

What do they mean by “v1” and “v2”? Are they talking software or the physical remote? Nothing in their OS2 upgrade documentation mentions the remote.

(and trying to sign into their help page is crashing ZenDesk so that’s not working)

Hmm, I’ve just progressed through the flowchart questions and had no mention of different remote versions.

As an aside, in your instance

Advantage - no need for Dialog
Con - new software with ‘different’ Airplay implementation with unproven track record PLUS no recovery to DOS1

Personally, I’d wait for sometime before committing to the migration.

The old adage, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.
Nb - of course, that assumes nothing is broke!
