Persistent Bluetooth Control Between OS's #13

Open crogers2287 opened 7 years ago

crogers2287 commented 7 years ago

Would it be possible to retain bluetooth pairing when switching OS's? Pairing in Recalbox then just using the controller in Rasplex once you boot into it?

Hi crogers2287,

Unfortunately I do not have the trick to copy bluetooth parameters from Rasplex to Recalbox. But, if you find it, I will be pleased to implement the solution into the next distribution.

Best regards, Laurent

No solution for the moment.

hey @LaurentMarchelli ;)

Sorry to necro the issue, I thought I could be of some help.

Regarding this issue, this mostly depends on bluez version. No idea of which version rasplex uses, but it will be tricky with recalbox :

Both bluez versions store data differently and are not compatible nor can be [up|down]graded Both are resotred using the S12share init script.

Sidenote : Recalbox is officially available in NOOBS through net install ;) It will always be the latest stable update available

Hi @substring, Thank you to have dig up this issues with this valuable information, I need to check Rasplex now, to identify where and how it stores bluetooth information. Yes I saw Recalbox in the NOOBS install, you've made an amazing work, however recalbox-rasplex also allows the installation of unstable and and upcoming version for both Recalbox and Rasplex, as the automatic configuration of the switch between both. I hope to have time in September to work on it. Best regards.
