Using OSMC on RP3 as a Bkuetooth Speaker

[skeeter]

Hi and yes I’ve gone through the WIKI and done some searching here. Most posts are for going the other direction ie: OSMC to Bluetooth speakers,

Use a bluetooth speaker and bluetooth keyboard simultaneously?

Hi, I have a raspberry Pi Zero and I’d like to know if the bluetooth dongle that is sold here on OSMC (Bluetooth dongle - OSMC) can be used to connect to a bluetooth speaker and a bluetooth keyboard at the same time. Of course I would need 2 bluetooth dongles - one for the speaker and one for the keybard. Thanks.

Stream audio from osmc KODI to bluetooth audio device

you must trust it from the rasp via bluetoothctl for autoreconnection in my remember and for the audio source option , you should test pactl load-module module-switch-on-connect. from marcopi answer , i have not test that command, but i think if it work that would simplify your configuration. And for your audioheadphone, no solution, maybe some drm or something like that ? Glad to see that my post is usefull for some other people

Both are about :Stream audio from osmc KODI to bluetooth audio device using bluez pulseaudio pulseaudio-module-bluetooth

The closest that I find to what I’d like to do is just the opposite, Stream from mobile to OSMC (my speakers are connected to the analog out on the PI3.
In this direction a two year old article: [Deprecated] [TESTING] Bluetooth audio streaming (A2DP)
seems to be talking about what it is I’m trying to do.
If I understand it correctly then , I’d use WinSCP to log in and then change the session over to PuTTY and then copy and paste:

@sam_nazarko

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

Is this more or less all that one needs to do.
I’m running KODI 17.1 on a Pi3 (have no wish to update KODI, except for the Bluetooth thing it is running great and does all that I want)

Thanks in adance for your time and help.
PS Forgot to mention that in OSMC and on my Moble they both show as being paired.
However in OSMC the mobil has a red symbol and doesn’t re-connect.
The moblil shows OSMC as a paired device but has a question mark in front of it and not the headphone symbol I’m trying for.

Yes.
