[RPi4] Bluetooth Pairing Error

pm33 · September 18, 2024 at 9:22 AM

Hello

I try to connect a LG sound bar called SP2 (78) to my kodi/libreelec 12.0.0 on a raspberry pi 4 .

When I do a connection action in Libreelec GUI I've got a "Br connection unknown"

Even I try i CLI I have the messages "type BR/EDR disconnected with reason 2"

All pairing dialog is below

Code

Update to LE 12.0.1. Older versions have an audio channel bug.

Please check /storage/.cache/services/bluez.conf.

The file /storage/.cache/services/bluez.conf exists but is empty

Do i try to update to a nigtly build ?

The bluez.conf file is intentionally empty. If you want to start bluez with either BLUEZ_ARGS or BLUEZ_DEBUG variables defined; the variables go in that file. If the bluez.conf file is missing the bluez service doesn't start (as per the systemd service config). The sole purpose of it being created is to enable the service starting (same as for sshd, avahi, samba, etc.)

No idea what the issue with the soundbar is, but for the sake of creating a half-meaningful comparison; install RaspiOS on a spare SD card and see if that works. If it also fails at least things are consistent and that probably hints at something odd with how the soundbar responds to bluez. If it succeeds, it probably hints at software versions of bluez since I'd guess that LE is using a newer version than a general purpose distro. I might be wrong on that but it's often the case.

So I need to find another solution

thank for your replies

RE: [RPi5] Bluetooth Dongle on LE12

Ubuntu for RPi4 was even worse result. The dongle shows up but won't connect to anything. I found an interesting resource on the subject regarding BLE dongles and kernel patches: gist.github.com/nevack/6b36b82d715dc025163d9e9124840a07

And some good news: I downloaded and tried out the latest nightly on RPi4 (LibreELEC (community): nightly-20240811-266cfd7 (RPi4.aarch64) ), and it does not seem to have any problems with audio quality. The Sena UD100 dongle is plug and play after adding the…
