🚀 | Bluetooth with the Spotify Version
Feature Description
Spotify is very common - so it would be awesome if the phoniebox can be used with bluetooth headphones or speaker.
What functionality would you like to see in your phoniebox?
Easy way to use bluetooth headphones and toggle between speaker and bluetooth
Is there anywhere an explanation how to get it to work with the Spotify version (with or without a toggle option?)
Please have a look at https://github.com/MiczFlor/RPi-Jukebox-RFID/tree/develop/components/bluetooth-sink-switch
i think this could cover you use case. It’s available since 2.3
Unfortunately not - they all only work with the „Classic“ Version ans not with the Spotify edition. I’m looking for a solution for the Spotify version.
@ChisSoc, any hints how to make the BT toggle feature work with Spotify/mopidy?
Bluetooth speaker / headphone is not a problem with Spotify. It works based on Alsa. There is an excellent Wiki article.
The toggle option however depends on MPD functionality. I have looked into implementing it for Mopidy some time ago, but did not have an idea how to do it.
The howto did not work for me in the newest version. And the excellent Wiki starts with „this howto was tested on the Phoniebox Classic meaning: no Spotify, version 1.1.7“
How far did you get? Are you able to play something with aplay?
If no, it is your Alsa Config that is not working.
If yes, configure your Alsa to use the bluetooth sink as default. Check that also with aplay by omitting the -D option. Or, alternatively, try to install the Alsa plugin for Mopidy.
