    I’m trying to setup Max2Play on a RaspberryPi Zero as a Bluetooth receiver for my Echo Dot. I want to stream the Bluetooth audio to the Squeezebox server running on the same device. When I install Bluetooth Streaming for Squeezebox Server I get a message that no Bluetooth Device is connected. The full output is below as is the output of hciconfig -a showing the Bluetooth address for the onboard device. Is there a step I’m missing for Max2Play to detect the onboard Bluetooth? I have already run apt-get update and upgrade.

    Install Bluetooth support for Squeezebox Server
    
    start X-Server
    
    Install Waveinput Plugin

    No Bluetooth-Device is connected! Make sure to connect this first!
    
    Now: Choose Bluetooth from favorites in Squeezebox Server and click play OR enable Autostart Bluetooth-Streaming in Squeezebox Server on this page. After this, you can stream audio from your smartphone to your Squeezebox Server and multiple players.
    Restarting logitechmediaserver (via systemctl): logitechmediaserver.service.

    Hi ghoover,

    Bluetooth pairing should work from the first boot with Max2Play. What output do you get when searching for nearby devices? If you find your device and click connect, what’s the output?

    17. Dezember 2017 at 4:24 #32992

    The max2play device does not appear when searching for nearby devices.

    Hi ghoover,

    If you are looking for BT input, please make sure your input device is in open pairing mode, then search for devices in the Max2Play web interface, click „connect“ on your device of choice and afterwards it should turn from red to green in the list.

    I want to stream from my Echo to Squeezebox (ie. Squeeze box acts as the receiver). Typically pairing is initiated from the sender but I cannot see the RPi as a Bluetooth receiver. If I run sudo hciconfig hci0 piscan then the RPi shows up but it doesn’t successfully pair. Can you point me to a step by step on how pairing should work?

    Hi ghoover,

    With M2P’s BT plugin, pairing is initiated in Max2Play’s web interface. In BT menu, you should see the device after making a first scan. Then, as mentioned before, you need to click „Connect“ which should prompt the pairing process.

    I post here because in my topic i have a never response after 6 days.

    I have exactly the same speaker as the one used in the tutorial:

    3 Audio Players in 1 Raspberry Pi With Bluetooth & Max2Play

    I would like to know if when i install Bluetooth Add-on does the speaker go to sleep alone?
    If yes, would you have a solution to avoid this?
    Because it would be compelling to have to turn it on again each time.

    I hope finally have a response 😉

    Hi medapayne,

    As mentioned before, I was out of office during the holidays. Here is my response in your topic: https://www.max2play.com/en/forums/topic/bluetooth-speaker/#post-33179
