I’m trying to setup Max2Play on a RaspberryPi Zero as a Bluetooth receiver for my Echo Dot. I want to stream the Bluetooth audio to the Squeezebox server running on the same device. When I install Bluetooth Streaming for Squeezebox Server I get a message that no Bluetooth Device is connected. The full output is below as is the output of hciconfig -a showing the Bluetooth address for the onboard device. Is there a step I’m missing for Max2Play to detect the onboard Bluetooth? I have already run apt-get update and upgrade.

12. Dezember 2017 at 12:45 #32889Hi ghoover,
Bluetooth pairing should work from the first boot with Max2Play. What output do you get when searching for nearby devices? If you find your device and click connect, what’s the output?
17. Dezember 2017 at 4:24 #32992The max2play device does not appear when searching for nearby devices.
18. Dezember 2017 at 11:19 #33007Hi ghoover,
If you are looking for BT input, please make sure your input device is in open pairing mode, then search for devices in the Max2Play web interface, click „connect“ on your device of choice and afterwards it should turn from red to green in the list.
24. Dezember 2017 at 10:35 #33099I want to stream from my Echo to Squeezebox (ie. Squeeze box acts as the receiver). Typically pairing is initiated from the sender but I cannot see the RPi as a Bluetooth receiver. If I run
sudo hciconfig hci0 piscan
then the RPi shows up but it doesn’t successfully pair. Can you point me to a step by step on how pairing should work?2. Januar 2018 at 10:55 #33174Hi ghoover,
With M2P’s BT plugin, pairing is initiated in Max2Play’s web interface. In BT menu, you should see the device after making a first scan. Then, as mentioned before, you need to click „Connect“ which should prompt the pairing process.
2. Januar 2018 at 11:00 #33177I post here because in my topic i have a never response after 6 days.
I have exactly the same speaker as the one used in the tutorial:
I would like to know if when i install Bluetooth Add-on does the speaker go to sleep alone?
If yes, would you have a solution to avoid this?
Because it would be compelling to have to turn it on again each time.I hope finally have a response 😉
