Bluetooth issues after March update

let me reset harmony hub
also when i restore setting via osmc, does it not copy previous bluetooth pairings?

No. These are not stored by Kodi.

same problem - not available

Whats info C8:DB:26:03:89:E1 giving?

[bluetooth]# info C8:DB:26:03:89:E1
Device C8:DB:26:03:89:E1 not available

I have noticed in myosmc, there is no button to turn bluetooth on/off whereas there is for discovery. Dunno if relevant?

Suggest to delete the config.
sudo rm -R /var/lib/bluetooth/*
than reboot

osmc@HTPC:~$ sudo rm -R /var/lib/bluetooth/*
rm: cannot remove ‘/var/lib/bluetooth/*’: No such file or directory

This is odd.
Whats sudo ls /var/lib/ giving.

osmc@HTPC:~$ sudo ls /var/lib/
apt connman dbus dpkg misc ntp polkit-1 samba sudo ucf
bluetooth containerd docker git nfs pam python sonarr systemd

Ok, so it should work, maybe the * confused it.

Try sudo rm -R /var/lib/bluetooth

Yep. Let me reboot and retry

Looks all good.

and it works fine using the mobile app but the remote has the functions greyed out and requests me to pair device using Harmony app :confused:

do I need to change the default remote type via myosmc too?

No, that area is only for IR remotes.
I don’t have a Harmony so can not comment further. Guess have to wait for one of the other boys to comment.

@chillbo is your man. But I’m guessing to pair from Harmony to Vero, in bluetoothctl remove the Harmony, type discoverable on then do whatever they suggest from the Harmony app.
