Bluetooth disconnects

[Nachteule]

In the day, this is for me a hack of the worst kind

For me there is the problem that I just do not understand what all this is supposed to have a meaning

If I run PA in system mode - which the man-page already advises against - the only consequence for me is that no user instance is started and therefore Kodi does not offer any PA devices.

Only if I manual before Kodi start PA as user xbian, Kodi sees again the PA Devices

Also the sentence

Quote:Please note, only headphones work with PA no PA itself. I switch back to PI:HDMI. Sometimes PA works as it must be some boot sequence issue. Anyhow, PA hasn't been stable with xbian nor RpiOS Lite as I end up with no sound after about 10 channel changes. I just use the BT HP when I want to and then switch back to PI:HDMI to avoid this.

sounds completely confused to me and is totally incomprehensible to me

The command

Code:

sudo -u xbian /usr/bin/pactl load-module module-bluetooth-discover

does not work at any time, because PA is not available for the user xbian.

By the way, rc.local is run as root, so a sudo is not required, a su -c xbian would be quite enough

Also it is not a good idea to modify the bluetooth.conf file, because it might be overwritten.

It would make much more sense to create an override file bluetooth.override with the following content

Code:

start on (started rpi-bluetooth or started imx-bluetooth or bluetooth) and started pulseaudio

But these are basically only minor details

I'm sorry I can't help you with this problem, as I obviously don't understand it somehow and understand the hack even less
