Automatic switch between HDMI and Bluetooth - and7ey - 2019-08-19

I am running Kodi on OpenELEC (Raspberry Pi).

Currently if I would like to change audio channel from bluetooth to HDMI and vice versa, I have to do it thru Menu.
Is there any way to have automatic switch? If bluetooth headset is switched on and connected, then audio should go thru bluetooth, if not - thru HDMI.

OpenELEC is a dead project and has not been developed for more than 2.5 years, so don't expect any support on that. You could have a look at LibreELEC which is uptodate.

Kodi has no such auto-switch built-in yet. I guess it could be a generic feature request, it doesn't have to be limited to a Raspberry Pi.

Maybe this will help:

Edit: Just remembered - there is (or was) a bluetooth audio switcher add-on in the LibreELEC repo.
It didn't work well for me and I didn't investigate as I already had a working method.  Worth a look though.
