Omg this is happening to me right now what should I do?

[44667788]

Are there any cases for this problem?

[pablo19892018]

This is an error when having many bluetooth devices linked, disconnect the other devices and only leave the one you want connected, after that it will work without problems.

In my case the cause was a missing scheme.

Checkout if your URI have a scheme. Don't use URLs without https:// or pathes without file://!
