Hello. Can I listen to the b2 through my iPhone? I use a Sonos play so it seems like it should work. Phone is a bit old ((iPhone SE). Thanks

You can listen on your phone via your WiFi network. I don’t see why the Brennan mobile apps wouldn’t work on an older iPhone but if not use the web Ui.

I use the app to control the b2 but don’t see where I can choose my phone as listening device

I think that this is possible, Look at this link on the forum (the last 2 entries from gps...@gmail.com).

Hi Craig

Yes you can easily listen to the B2 via NAS on any smart phone or tablet. Install the VLC Media player, which is the app featured on the left, it works on all early Apple devices with the older iOS which y I will have on the iPhone SE.

It's recently been updated to scan networks better and supports the latest NAS Samba protocol too.

If you're running an apple device with the more recent iOS - 11.2 or above, then you can download the VLC media media streamer on the right which offers a very similar browsing and user experience to the B2's own Apple app.

Both apps allow you to cast the stream to a smart device such as a Smart TV , Chromecast, Amazon Firestick and a lot of other devices. I've not yet tried it with Sonos but I will do as soon as I acquire one.

Good luck and happy listening
