I have an old laptop hooked up to the TV as HTPC. It is not being able to play BT audio if XBMC is already running. Following are a couple of scenarios:
1) Normal case:
Boot up -> launch BT Manager(Ubuntu repo package: "btman") -> Connect Phone -> Play audio :: WORKS
2) Problem:
Boot up -> launch BT Manager(Ubuntu repo package: "btman") -> launch Kodi -> Connect Phone -> Play audio :: BT sound not routed
3) Recovery:
Boot up -> launch BT Manager(Ubuntu repo package: "btman") -> launch Kodi -> Connect Phone -> Play audio -> Exit Kodi :: Sound starts
^ After the sound is started, Kodi may be re-launched to have both working.
^^ After this if I disconnect my phone and connect again, the audio won't play. I'll have to go through all the steps all over again.
My relevant configuration is:
Acer 4738z, some Broadcom BT chip(couldn't get the name in lsusb), linux-3.13.0.43-generic on Kubuntu 14.04.1 LTS(updated till morning today)
The issue is reproducible on the last stable version of XBMC as well as 14.0-RC3 of Kodi (Last - As of 16th of December)
I'm a newbie here, so if I've posted this in the wrong forum, kindly point me in the right direction to move this post to.
Thanks!
