Hello
I have just installed the last max2play 249 version on mi RPI 3 hardware.
The bluetooth add-on seems correctly installed with inboard RPI3 bluetooth hardware and the bluetooth connection seems to work : smartphone name in green in the M2P bluetooth devices and max2play speaker activated on my smartphone (samsung note 8 with android).
My wish is to use the lms integration via favorite bluetooth which is correctly configured on lms of the max2play.
The issue is when I try to lunch a playback of the blutouth favorite on lms, the playback time is increasing but there is no sound (the other favorites playback are working well) .

I have also tested to use the bluetouth entry of the M2P players: the behaviour is differents although also neither not working : I can hear the sound about 25% of my tries and it last less than one minute and I have to restart to maybe hear again a short sound.

Does somebody knows how to fix this issue of bluetooth playback via lms ? Do i need to install an external bluetooth dongle on my RPI3 ?
Thanks by advance for any advise …

Hi jap,

If you are using WiFi, a BT dongle might help stabilize your BT output as both share the same antenna.

Thanks Heiner
I indeed use the wifi.
I tried with a „Avantree DG40S“ BT dongle.
A second controler „max2play“ #1″ is displayed on my devices and both samsung A5 and Note 8 can pair to it.
Unfortunately, they can not connect: both smartphones devices stay in red and in the yellow box displays „Failed to connect: org.bluez.Error.Failed“ (whatever the request is made on the M2P or on the Samsung side)…
