Bluetooth Audio streaming - 01/29/21 12:52 PM

Hi,

I have 2 japhar sims, 1 to dm500hd the other one on dm800se.
My question: Is it possible to stream the audio from a box to a bt headset or hifi bt receiver using a bt dongle installed on the box?

I read somewhere that Toysoft already try it, with any success?

Code:
root@dm800se:~# opkg list | grep bluetooth
kernel-module-bluetooth-3.2-dm800se - 3.2-.1 - bluetooth kernel module
 bluetooth kernel module; Bluetooth Core ver 2.16
packagegroup-base-bluetooth - 1.0-r83 - Bluetooth support
packagegroup-base-bluetooth-dbg - 1.0-r83 - Merge machine and distro options to create a basic machine task/package
packagegroup-base-bluetooth-dev - 1.0-r83 - Merge machine and distro options to create a basic machine task/package
root@dm800se:~#


Code:
root@dm800se:~# opkg list | grep bluez

The important would be to have the driver compatible with your BT, that will be for sure installed on the USB Port... same logic as the Wifi Dongles, DVB-T etc.

The DM800HDse/DM500HD images are Kernel 3.2, and DM800HD Kernel 2.6, and the driver must be compiled with the image to suit the communication with the kernel modules.

Probably the best option would be to use a SCART connector (for Audio) to an external BT device connected to your headset. In this way you have no extra software and drivers to install (As with the Vonets that connected to the RJ45 and does the Wifi idependently from the software installed as communication goes to RJ45).
