So I tried the Bluetooth speaker support. Quirky but it works, and most importantly it auto-magically reconnects if you cycle the power on your bluetooth device
Quirks; Built-in Wifi and Bluetooth cannot be on at the same time, YET it allows you to proceed with 'trying' to use Bluetooth without warning or any built-in messages to prevent the inevitable failure. This can and probably will lead to frustrations as people think something is wrong, but just don't happen to check the WiFi tab to turn the internal bluetooth on....only at that moment will you get a message that wifi and bluetooth can not be on at the same time. Suggestion: Give a message that tells users BTHeadset can not be used when enternal WiFi is enabled...As Soon As they select BTHeadset [if wifi is enabled] don't have to get so smart as to do it only when internal wifi is on. A user will read the message and either stop if they have the enternal wifi on or proceed if they don't. So next step, get a bluetooth dongle to connect...nope, ain't happening as the RPi won't power it on. So next next step, get a wifi dongle to connect to wifi and use the internal bluetooth. Great it works! Wifi connected and Bluetooth on. Now power up the bluetooth headset and hit scan. First run, nothing...okay second attempt and it shows up. Select 'pair' and wait, it paired and for some reason disconnected the pairing. Okay, second run, scan again....sees the headset and select pair...boom, done! Works great from that point. Powered off the headset and back on to test, reconnected without a hitch. Something else I noticed. When/If I return back to USB or some other output, everything resets to factory settings. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ edwardthern's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66099 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=108852 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
