Pi 4 librelec & bluetooth

1st Official Post

    I am thinking of buying a 2nd Pi 4 amd running librelec with Kodi on it. The Pi4 has on board bluetooth. If all install is libreELEC can I use a bluetooth controller or keyboard with it or do I need to do further modifications

    This will be attached to a Roku tv. If the bluetooth mouse is not an option can I use the CEC option on my tv?

    It *should* all work "out of the box".

    However, be aware, the internal BT is not the best in the world, nor does it have a large antenna. So if your RPi is encased and behind - say - a TV then the reception may be limited.

    I use a cheap eBay BT dongle on an extension lead (to get the best reception) without issues on my Harmony One.

    The box containing the Pi will be on the entertainment center with nothing blocking it, however the pi itself will be in 2mm thick plastic.

    I have a wireless air mouse that works on windows. I wonder if it will work on the Pi. Also, wondering if the CEC is an option.
