Re: [slim] Is Bluetooth streaming to Squeezebox possible?
Hi afriend, - Our current solution either allows for direct playback of Bluetooth to the audio player or a creation of a channel in the LMS for Bluetooth streaming which is created on the device where the server is installed. It can then we streamed and synchronized with any and all players in on the server. Check out our video on the feature: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mt96_jnxnnU Max2Play's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66120 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103741 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
Re: [slim] Is Bluetooth streaming to Squeezebox possible?
Hi. I've only just discovered this thread. My idea was to have a new PiZero (with built-in Bluetooth and WiFi) and to use to it to occasionally stream Bluetooth audio from my/some friend's phone to any player connected to the server. So the zero would just be some kind of intermediate input device for feeding the bluetooth stream to the server that forwards it to the player I choose. I'm a bit confused as to how I can achieve this. - Is the Max2Play Bluetooth channel the only way to do this right now? I just want the Bluetooth input channel thingy, nothing else. The Max2Play image has so many other features which seems like overkill for what I want. - Which Bluetooth codec does the Bluetooth channel use? AAC as would be required for good quality streaming from an iPhone? - If I have to buy a Max2Play license (only for the Bluetooth channel function), does it have to be a subscription or can it be a one-time price (life-time license like with Erland's plugins)? I didn't see that option. Thank you for your answers.

Re: [slim] Is Bluetooth streaming to Squeezebox possible?
Hi rederikus, I am sorry to hear that. As you might have found out from the documentation, Max2Play is controlled wholly from any other browser in your network (smartphone, PC, tablet, etc.) from the web interface by entering "max2play/" in the URL bar. All features and options are easy accessible there and we do not recommend using any other form access if you are not already familiar with the system. The root password is max2play, however, we also do not recommend accessing via SSH from root but instead using sudo for specific changes you might want to make. You also start Kodi from the web interface and shut it down there.

The last time I tried (about a month ago) I downloaded three of your images and only one booted. The one that booted did not start LMS. I asked on your forum and after a few posts, your moderator just stopped replying https://www.max2play.com/en/forums/topic/which-download-file-for-rpi-3-hifiberry-dac-standard/ I just gave up. Max2Play has (as I understand it) some kind of visual front end to it that I do not want or need. My LMS just sits in a closet, in the dark, headless and just works. If your product can do that successfully and provide bluetooth then, I'll use it. I have now moved the HiFiBerry to another RPi player so I just need LMS and bluetooth.

Re: [slim] Is Bluetooth streaming to Squeezebox possible?
Hi guys, Our BT plugin, when used for LMS, creates a specific channel for your smartphone/tablet in the LMS interface that you can use to feed any all of your Squeezeplayers. I made a little video on how to set it up 'on Youtube' (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mt96_jnxnnU). The other option, if you want to feed the input directly to your local player on the Pi (Squeezelite or Shairport) is to select "Pulse" in one of them. The stream is then directly fed to the respective player. I hope this helps.

[slim] Is Bluetooth streaming to Squeezebox possible?
I see Bluetooth speakers are becoming very popular, and it make a lot of sense to me. It seems really convenient to just be able to stream whatever sound is playing on my phone or tablet on a larger speaker. So I was wondering if i could do the same through my Squeezebox setup? I mean if my Squeezebox server has Bluetooth, could I set it up like Bluetooth speaker and play the sound coming from my phone, tablet or other devices? I doesn't really have to be Bluetooth actually, any way to play the sound from other devices on squeezebox would be fine. I know about the Shairplay (or is it just called airplay?) plugin, and this would allow me to what I want at least from Apple devices. The problem is 1) I am not sure if this would work with Android 2) I tried the plugin and it seemed to make my server really unstable, so I disabled it again.

Not from the SB hardware itself as these have no BT transmitters. You could buy additional gear to get BT from SB player headphone out jack via a 3.5mm BT Transmitter device. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=9SIA1PK12T9685cm_re=bluetooth_transmitter-_-0D8-00GD-1-_-Product toby10's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=12553 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=103741 ___ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss

Maybe: Waveinput plugin, and a bluetooth receiver dongle, plugged into the server's line in. Or, if you have/obtain a Boom, bluetooth receiver plugged into Boom's line in.

Hi Castalla, I have not tried it, but for example on a Cubietruck, where is the problem? Connect the speakers via bluetooth, ok you have to do it by hand, but it should be possible. Then connect the output of squeezelite to the analog output device and it should work, as far as I can think. I don't quite understand the use of it. If you use a small device like raspi or cubie, you can put it close to the speakers and you will have a way better sound using a decent cable.

In practice it's quite a task to get bluetooth working on a debian raspi - then figuring out the appropriate output for squeezelite - creating a script to allow the connection to cleanly exit when you switch the speakers off, etc. Believe me, it takes a lot of low-level kludging. I wrote a couple of guides - but it's so long ago that I just couldn't face digging out the details! There's a thread here somewhere with an account of my travails. I personally think it's more work than it's worth!

Ok, you have done it, so I am sure you are right. And I agree completely, I don't think it's worth either.
