Hi,
I’m trying to play the music from a USB key attached to the Pi via OSMC + Bluetooth Dongle + Bluetooth Speaker.
What I have so far: USB Dongle paired and connected. “Ding sound” played on Speaker and bluetoothtcl shows that everyting is OK.
In the Systems/Audio settings I’ve selected the “Pulse Audio Server” option, however when I start the music the Pi just hangs, and is unable to play the music. This is what I get when I list the sinks:
Could anyone give me some pointers what I should look into/fix/do to get it play music from the Pi? (Please note, that I don’t care about streaming music to the Pi via my phone, I just want the Pi to output music to the bluetooth speaker via the USB key. Any help would be appreciated.
