persistent bluetooth keyboard pairing

  • Hi

    I am trying to troubleshoot why the bluetooth keyboard connection to Kodi on Libreelec on my Raspberry Pi Zero W (ver 2) with bluetooth dongle is not persistent after reboot.

    Using the GUI, the bluetooth keyboard is discovered and I can select 'Trust and connect' which gives a gold star next to the device in the 'Bluetooth' section of the Libreelec menu. The keyboard works until reboot. On reboot the connection is not automatically restored.

    After some googling, I am trying to follow the guide here to make the connection / re-pairing automatic but I get stuck at step 3 'run bluetooth ctl in the console' (by which I assume they mean 'terminal').

    Code
    LibreELEC2:~ # bluetooth ctl
    -sh: bluetooth: not found
    LibreELEC2:~ #

    Very much hoping I can resolve this issue - any assistance from the forum greatly welcomed,

    Many thanks!
