Bluetooth start/stop discovery (osmc interface) does not work

[vmartinvega]

Hi all

I was trying to pair my cell phone to the osmc but when I try to start the devices discovery from the interface it does not work and it permanently states as disabled, that is, I cannot discover any device

Any help would be appreciated?

Hi,

Sounds like the on board bluetooth may be disabled, logs would helps identify the issue:

Also you could try pairing from the Command Line :

Enabling bluetooth

We are currently working on some bluetooth pairing issues and have already fixed one similar problem that might be the issue you’re seeing, in the meantime you could try pairing with ‘bluetoothctl’ from the command line using SSH. Launch bluetoothctl then: scan on Then put your device into pairing mode, you should then see it’s name scroll by with a mac address, if not, after a few seconds type: devices copy the mac address into your clipboard and issue the following commands: pair mac trus…

Thanks Tom.

If you are pairing a phone for audio, you need to install the A2DP package first. Did you do this?
