Same problem here with the LE 12 nightlies.

I tried editing /etc/hostname, but it reverts back to LibreELEC after a boot.

I have three LibreELEC installations, and this makes it a little more difficult to administer them, although I can address them separately by IP address.

Ideally LE would give priority to an external usb BT dongle, over the built-in Rpi adapter. If a user has installed an external BT dongle, that's probably the one he or she wants to utilize. But that may not be technically feasible.

Why don't you try disabling the internal BT with a dtoverlay?

Thanks for the suggestion!! That seems to have fixed the problem. I added

dtoverlay=disable-bt

...to config.txt. I had to re-pair my BT speaker, but now the BT audio works properly -- and the light on the BT dongle flickers as it should. So it is definitely using the external dongle.

However, I never needed to do this with LE 9.x and earlier.

So looks like the device was detected - when you enter LE settings & the bt menu the light does not start to steadily flicker/light up? Does some devices show up at all?

No, the light does not come on at all. I even tried a new identical dongle, with the same results.

BT devices do show up in the LE settings, but I believe they're being accessed through the Rpi4's built-in Bluetooth adapter, instead of the outboard CSR dongle. I'm getting considerable breaking up of the audio on a BT speaker in a nearby room. That didn't happen when the CSR dongle was working properly (with LE 9.x and earlier).

When I run lsusb I get this output:

Bus 007 Device 002: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)

and dmesg | grep CSR states:

[ 1.463995] usb 7-1: Product: CSR8510 A10

So does your Pi detect the BT dongle? Please upload the logs as chewitt mentioned

Apparently it does detect the device, so I'm not sure why it's not working.

I posted the urls for the logs as chewitt requested. Do I need to upload them also?

CSR should be "Cambridge silicon radio", I use the same bt dongle at my RockPro64. So it should work, if it doesn't some driver is probably missing.

The led only lights up when you're looking for devices & if you've enabled Bluetooth in LE settings. You did this?

Yes, Bluetooth is enabled. It's working with the Rpi4's built-in Bluetooth adapter, but I want to extend the range with the external dongle (attached to a USB cable). With LE9.x, the LED flashed when Bluetooth was in use.

I've been using a cheap "CSR V4.0" Bluetooth dongle with my Rpi4 to increase the signal range. It worked great with LibreELEC 9.x, but does not with LE10. The LED on the dongle does not light up, so it appears that the driver is not being loaded, or that the device isn't being recognized for some reason.

Is there something I can do to fix this?

Or, can the devs re-add the appropriate driver?

Thanks for any help with this!

I'm using this on a RPi4 with LibreELEC 9.2 final. It works sometimes -- but usually doesn't work.

What's really strange is that when the Bluetooth device is turned on, the audio device is actually changed to the Pulse Bluetooth setting. In Kodi Settings / System / Audio it shows as Bluetooth audio. But the actual sound stays on the HDMI-connected device (stereo receiver, in my case) and doesn't switch to the Bluetooth speaker.

Any ideas??

I just upgraded to LibreELEC 9.0.2, and this fix for this seems to have disappeared. EPG downloading broke for me.

After some investigation, I found the underlying problem. The tv_grab_file script doesn't "unescape" the URL from settings.xml before using it in the wget command to fetch the XMLTV listings. I.e. it doesn't change "&" to simply "&", so the URL doesn't properly pass the login credentials to the server.

I changed the line:

wget -qO - "$XMLTV_LOCATION_WEB"

to:

wget -qO - $(xml unesc $XMLTV_LOCATION_WEB)

I'm not a Linux guru, so I don't know if this is the best way to fix the problem, or if it might break something for other users. But my listings are now downloading properly.

I won't rule out that the script might be broken, but I have sadly no url to something that I could test it at all.

Is there a way I can privately send you the actual URL, with the username and password? I wouldn't mind doing that if it would help you diagnose the problem, and (of course) if you wouldn't share it.

Since I upgraded to 8.90.007 from 8.2.5 (Generic), TVheadend hasn't been able to download guide data from my IPTV provider. It worked fine on 8.2.5.

The URL (as it appears in settings.xml is

http://my-provider.tv:2095/xmltv.php?amp;username=my-usernamee&password=my-password&type=m3u_plus&output=ts

The addon adds the "amp" following each "&", when the settings are saved.

In the log, I see

2018-11-21 16:05:52.000 [   INFO] xmltv: /storage/.kodi/addons/service.tvheadend42/bin/tv_grab_file: grab /storage/.kodi/addons/service.tvheadend42/bin/tv_grab_file

The username and password are correct, since they were working before I upgraded, and the URL works when pasted into a browser.

Is this a bug, or am I doing something wrong? Any help would be much appreciated.
