How to add bluetooth speaker

[jonas.andero]

I have a bluetooth speaker that I want to use. I can find it and pair it if I activate bluetooth. However, connecting seems impossible, so I tried using the bluetoothctl command line util:

Code:

OpenELEC:/etc # bluetoothctl
[NEW] Controller 00:10:60:EB:12:CB openelec [default]
[NEW] Device FC:58:FA:F7:42:5A Crossbeat

Googled a bit and it seems like the problem is that there is no /etc/bluetooth/audio.conf file, but I am not sure, since I am far from a Linux wiz (that's why I am using Openelec :whistle: ). The following bug report mentions a solution: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=827692#c3

How do one fix this with openelec? I have never figured out how to do changes in read only file system... And if this really is a bug, shouldn't it be fixed in openelec? I mean, using a BT-speaker is a solid usecase that many users should be interested in...

bluetooth audio devices are not supported

[jonas.andero]

Any plans to support it?

[chewitt]

Nope. Google "chewitt openelec bluetooth audio" and you'll find a few threads that explain why.

Thankfully, I don't have issues with my current speakers

For me, the sound is very important when it comes to films watching. That's why I decided to click here to read about the best satellite speakers. I am going to buy it and I want to be sure that the sounds will be perfect and bright. This is necessary for me to enjoy the film

Wireless speaker kits make regular speakers wireless by sending the audio signal via an RF (radio-frequency) signal. Link : https://www.audioreputation.com/how-to-m...-wireless/

Press the Bluetooth or Bluetooth Disconnect button on your speaker to clear any current connections. The speaker will make a sound and/or you will notice the "paired" light or Bluetooth symbol on the display disappear when a device is disconnected. This will restart the pairing process automatically so you can try to connect your phone/tablet again.
