To use your Bluetooth speakers with the audio applications in Max2Play, switch over to the audio player menu and set „Bluetoothspeaker“ or „Pulse“ in the advanced setting of the Squeezelite Player. The same goes for the audio settings within Kodi.

Step 8

Disconnect and reconnect Bluetooth speakers upt to your needs. Make sure to enable the Bluetooth speakers after the Max2Play device. Delete those from the list of know devices you don’t need anymore.

New with version 2.52: Switch the player on/off automatically depending on the connection status of the Bluetooth speaker with „-B“ at the end of the command line options of Squeezelite. (Does not work with „-C“ parameter). Runs great with Multisqueeze!
