Audio Streaming

Hi all,

I'm hearing impaired and have been using wireless headphones on my pi3. Unfortunately they broke and I had an ideal/brainfart wondering if it's possible to stream the audio from kodi to my android phone. I'd like to keep the original HDMI output, so my wife can still hear it.

I know it's probably a long shot, but all help appreciated regardless.

Thank you so much awiouy! I will give this a shot.

Hi again

Unfortunately I've hit a snag. I installed snapserver, rebooted, selected pulse:default in system settings. The sound on the HDMI is gone, but worse still nothing streams. If I select HDMI in system settings and reboot everything works again. With pulse selected the buffering wheel appears and gets stuck on 100%

I've tried to get this running a few times, not sure what the issue is, this is the error thrown after a fresh install and only youtube addon and snapserver installed:

I do note in the instructions, there should be a "pulse: snapserver" option in system->audio, I'm not seeing this. My only pulse option is "pulse: default bluetooth". After a reboot this is what I've been selecting, once selected there's a "pulse: null" option that appears.

Hi,

All good, appreciate the help! To be honest I kind of expected I was doing something obviously wrong and someone else would chime in.

Libreelec (official) 8.2.5

RPi2.arm (pi is a RPi 3 model B v 1.2, if that matters)

Unfortunately I have neither an iOS device or Spotify premium, but believe I can sign up for a 30 day Spotify premium trial if that helps. Thanks

Hey awiouy, i think I'll give up and just buy another set of WiFi headphones. Thanks for the suggestion, unfortunately it just doesn't work. Cheers

All good, thanks for the assistance.
