Have to re-connect to bluetooth speakers after each reboot

david_a · March 29, 2020 at 7:46 PM

Bluetooth speakers work; however, each time I reboot, I have to go to Add-ons -> LibElec Configuration -> Bluetooth -> <select my speakers> -> Connect.

Is there a way to have this setting persist? I'd like it to always connect to these speakers.

Rrun "bluetoothctl show | grep Controller" and note the MAC addres, then reboot and run again. Did the MAC change?

The MAC address stays the same...

Code

Kodi:~ # bluetoothctl show | grep Controller
Controller DC:A6:32:29:FA:CD (public)

<reboot through UI>

Kodi:~ # bluetoothctl show | grep Controller
Controller DC:A6:32:29:FA:CD (public)

edit to add: here is the full output of bluetoothctl show:

If the MAC is stable, it's likely an issue with the speakers. I forget the explanation for what's going on, but it's more frequently observed with Headphones; at least in numbers of reports we've seen here. Google against headphones and you'll find the explanation.
