Hello Heiner,

I don’t know whether to start another thread here or not. Let me describe my planned system set up and ask if it is possible.

I have 2 Raspi with HiFiberry Amp 2 in both of them connected to my home network via ethernet.

One is configured as a squeezebox server and it works very well. It is named „Porchserver“. I can stream via bluetooth, and control via my laptop or mobile phone.

My other raspi is called „masterbath“. If I set it up as an audioplayer, I can control it from Porchserver, no problem. My primary interest for „masterbath“ is to be able to stream bluetooth sound from the TV in the master bath to „masterbath“.

My question is:

Can I stream via bluetooth directly to „masterbath“? I can’t see how this is possible with it set up as a squeezelite audio player or as an MPD player. With my mobile phone, I can see „masterbath“ as a bluetooth device, but I cannot connect to it. I don’t think I can get a reliable bluetooth connection from my TV to Porchserver (due to the distance between them), assuming I can figure out how to do a pairing and connection, which was the subject of my previous post in this thread. I can switch the Raspi so that masterbath is the squeezebox server and porchserver becomes a squeezelite player, but then I just have the opposite problem if I want to stream bluetooth to porchserver.

Thanks again for all your previous help.

Best regards,

Andy

Hi Andy,

Unfortunately, this is a natural limitation of the Bluetooth integration.

However, you can use the Bluetooth speaker player in the Bluetooth plugin to stream directly from your BT device to your Max2Play device. Then you have to add „-C 5“ to your Squeezelite player to make sure the audio card is not blocked by it when you play through Bluetooth.

Hallo,
leider findet mein Echo Dot der 3. Generation meine MAX2PLAY Instanz auf einem Pi Zero nicht, umgekehrt aber schon.

Kann mir jemand helfen?

Besten Dank

Hello!

Brand new HiFiBerry DAC+ bundle.
I hope to stream bluetooth from phone to squeezebox server for home distribution.

Version 2.48 – Raspberry PI 3

I cannot get my phone paired properly.

My process;

1. Install Bluetooth.
2. Scan for devices.
3. Connect to iPhone
4. Phone says connected to max2play
5. Max2Play (yellow box says waiting for bluetoothd…)
6. Hangs indefinitely. Never turns green.

For anyone still affected by connection issues (version 2.47 and older), please do the following to fix your bluetooth:

– Head to Settings/Reboot and click the Update Button
– When the update is finished, head to Bluetooth and „Uninstall Bluetooth“
– Refresh the Bluetooth menu if necessary and „Install Bluetooth“
– Reboot after the installation is finished

Your system should now be able to connect to any Bluetooth device again.

Hello max,

Do you mean the bug fix does not work? Have you tried it yet and if so what was the error then, same installation problem?

Which version of Max2Play do you have? In Settings/Reboot you can find „stretch“ „jessie“ oder „wheezy“ in the debug info window.
Brian premium

6. Mai 2019 at 16:18 #45291

Hello Heiner.

From my message above (5. Mai 2019 at 20:22 #45264)

I’m at 2.48
I tried an update but it said „Max2Play is up to date – no update required“
I am still unable to complete my bluetooth connection.

Is there anything else I can try to correct my connection issue?

Thanks,
Brian

***UPDATE***

I did a force update to Version Beta-190502
I uninstalled bluetooth.
I reinstalled bluetooth.
I rebooted.

Issue remains the same.

Hello Brian,

Have you tried another bluetooth device yet?

Also, how old is your image of Max2Play?

Brian premium

7. Mai 2019 at 14:38 #45312

Hi Heiner,

My Max2Play in less than one month old.

I have tried with with another iPhone with the same result.

But I just now tried with a Galaxy Tablet and it worked!

An issue with two iPhones?

Thank you!
Brian

Heiner premium

8. Mai 2019 at 15:19 #45323

Which iPhone model do you have? Perhaps we can try to recreate the issue here. However, as I have to mention with any issue in this thread, Bluetooth is a complicated beast, each issue is different and can have different causes. Factors like WiFi, distance, bluetooth protocol number, overall wireless connection, or even a human standing between the devices can vastly change the quality and output performance.

Brian premium

8. Mai 2019 at 16:04 #45324

Thanks Heiner.

I understand complications with bluetooth.
Sometimes the magic just doesn’t work.
I appreciate the help.

There are two iPhones I have attempted to connect.
One is an old iPhone 3, the other is an iPhone 8.

For what it’s worth, I have tried connecting both within one meter of the RaspberryPi.

Hello max,

You have an older version of Max2Play based on jessie. You can try burning the new image based on Stretch. Make sure you create a backup of your existing install before.

Heiner premium

16. Mai 2019 at 12:10 #45440

You can use our plugin image burner to create an .img file and save it somewhere. You can also use any other software that can read images and back them up as an .img file. You can then use this .img file to newly burn your old image on any card.

Hi Alex,

Are you using an older image/version of Max2Play? If so, you should try updating to the latest version 2.48. This should fix the problem.

Hi Alex,

This should be no problem since you can synchronize your Players in the Squeezebox Server.

You can do this from the web interface in the upper right corner or from a Squeezebox App like Squeezer or iPeng.

Hello

My pi2 can’t connect to a Bluetooth CSR 4.0 dongle. Package info mentions different windows flavours as OS – do I need a special dongle for linux? I installed a fresh image last week. (M2P opt. for touch display) – version 2.50.

I would like to stream music from my phone to squeezebox.

Hi lektoren,

Sorry about the confusion, our touchscreen image is much older than our current ones (2.32 instead of 2.49/2.50). Therefore, the bluetooth solution is also an older one since we switched from pulse audio to bluealsa in between those versions. Unfortunately, that’s a change that cannot be made with update since the underlying Linux structures had to be changed for new Raspberry Pi models. You can use the default image and install the rpi display plugin manually.

Then it might be connected to the BT dongle’s driver requirements. Have you googled the exact device’s name and „raspbian driver“ yet?

29. Juli 2019 at 10:02 #46516

Hi Heiner,
No, I haven’t. It is just a cheap bluetooth-dongle with no brand name.
I think I will wait a while for further development 🙂
