No. This would require a My OSMC change and we have stopped developing My OSMC in its current state

Thatā€™s amazing guys. You made my day o/

Great work Sam!

Is there anyway to blacklist the onboard WiFi so you could use a USB dongel instead?

24

Sure. See Search results for 'blacklist wifi' - OSMC Forums.

Great work! Canā€™t wait for this update :slight_smile:

Will this driver support A2DP streaming?

26

Rockin!

I have a bluetooth dongle in my Pi3 now as a workaround but itā€™ll be damn nice to use the native Bluetooth for my PS3 controller.

This is about getting the driver for the dongle. The functions will still be along the lines of this thread [Deprecated] [TESTING] Bluetooth audio streaming (A2DP)

HI
Iā€™ve just installed OSMC on my Raspberry Pi 3 but cannot see the blue tooth function on it.

Please helpā€¦

I too am wondering what is going on here with the inbuilt Bluetooth on Pi3 and OSMC.

It has now been stated as fixed,but I am confused as to whether it is possible to integrate this fix now or whether I have to wait for a consequential update?

Itching to get this PS3 controller setup!

Not sure what you consider as ā€œstated as fixedā€. Sam said he found a solution and it will be integrated in the next update.
So yes you will have to wait for the next update that most likely will come out on Sunday (keeping fingers crossed)

As I say,I was just wondering whether it was possible to install something to update it nowā€¦or hae to wait for an update.Iā€™ve got plenty to keep me occupied in the meantime trying to get fake PS3 controller to work with RetroPi

A post was merged into an existing topic: Raspberry Pi 3 - Wifi Mega Thread

Bluetooth support is now available in our April update. You can learn more about this update here: OSMC's April update is here with Kodi 16.1 - OSMC.

For me nothing is fixed.
Discovery service finds BT devices (Headphone and Samsung Soundbar).
After pairing with PIN or wthout PIN, connect/re-connect always fails.

Tested on pure OSMC install and existing OSMC.

bluetoothctl > info gives all details.
trust and pair commands work but connect always fail for both BT devices.

Am I still missing something?

Dear Sirs,
Is there any plan, to support OBEX file transfer by Bluetooth in OSMC? I just simply would liket to push photos from my phone to the RPi.

After the April update for pi3 should it be possible to use a bluetooth mouse? Osmc recognises the mouse as a device and allows me to pair with it and seems to be connected to it but there is no mouse function happening on the screen. Have not yet tried a bluetooth keyboard but am I likely to have the same lack of success? The mouse was one that I used with my Apple imac and it still functions on the imac.

38

Check if you have mouse input enabled under input devices

39

Yes mouse input is enabled and I can successfully use a usb mouse and keyboard. Was going to try the bluetooth mouse and though My Osmc recognises it and allows it to be paired and sets it up in the left hand box no arrow appears on screen and no action can be initiated by the mouse.

It seems to be working after ā€œwget http://paste.osmc.io/raw/qiyekuvafe -O- | sudo shā€ only for SoundBar.
Headphone is paired but immediately disconnects.

Headphone works with other devices like tablet and phone so how can I debug the issue with this specific device on OSMC.
