Rasbperry PI 3 OSMC A2DP install failed

[Peter_H]

Hi,

I have a problem, and I am using the recommended way to report it as follows:

The issue you are currently experiencing with OSMC: tried to update my Raspberry PI 3 running OSMC with the A2DAP as described here:

[Deprecated] [TESTING] Bluetooth audio streaming (A2DP)

Hi, We’d like to add Bluetooth audio streaming to the App Store shortly, but first we’d like to get some feedback and testing done. Make sure your system is fully up to date, and then run the following commands: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install a2dp-app-osmc Note: Pairing is sometimes problematic. This is being worked on. If you experience stutters or dropouts, it may be your dongle. I personally experienced this with a couple of Bluetooth dongles and had better luck with other one…

I accessed the CLI locally as described here:

Navigate to the power icon in Kodi
Select Exit/Quit
Wait for the OSMC splash screen to appear
Press ESC on your keyboard
Login to your device using osmc for the username and password.

I typed the following:

echo “deb http://apt.osmc.tv jessie-devel main” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/a2dp.list
sudo apt-get update

I received error message after “sudo apt-get update”, saying that it was unable to do the update. Then I typed:

sudo apt-get upgrade

It did not ran (of course, but I forgot that it will not run.)

Then I tried to manually update OSMC via GUI, and I received the following error message:

OSMC Update Error
Error installing:
Please report this to the OSMC forum.
[OK]

and a few seconds later:

OSMC updater
There are no updates available.
[OK]

What you were doing when this issue occurred: nothing else

Whether you can replicate this issue on demand. If you can, then please provide some steps on how an OSMC developer can reproduce the same issue: Yes. Do the same.

The device you are currently running OSMC on: Raspberry PI 3

What peripherals are attached to the device? Wireless keyboard Logitech K400r, Maxtor external USB HDD

Has this issue been introduced by a new version of OSMC? When did the issue first appear and can you recall a time when it was not present? No, I think I have the 2017.10.0 version. I updated to this version previously, many weeks ago, using the GUI without any problems.

Please help.

Thanks: Peter

@Peter_H

echo “deb http://apt.osmc.tv jessie-devel main” | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/a2dp.list

sudo apt-get update

Currently the a2dp testing would not work as the team is currently preparing the Debian change from Jessie to Stretch.

My recommendation:
sudo rm /etc/apt/sources.list.d/a2dp.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get dist-upgrade

and report the situation

[Peter_H]

Situation is normal, both update and upgrade successful, thank you for your quick help.
Regarding the Bluetooth streaming, what shall I do now? My idea is streaming music from my Android smart phone to OSMC/Kodi, and then listen to it on my TV and amplifier (wired connection).

The BT package needs some work to make it support stretch. As stretch is about to be released, I think you will have to wait a bit for that functionality.

Sam did say it was experimental, but it’s clear there’s demand for it.

[Peter_H]

OK, thanks, I will wait.
