Bluetooth audio output switching for Kodi 18 on Linux Switches audio output between current device and Bluealsa.
PREREQUISITES
- Bluealsa up and running
- Bluetooth device connected to system (obviously, it has to be trusted to connect automatically)
- "Allow remote control via HTTP" in Kodi settings turned on
It stores current audio device before switch to Bluealsa and restores it after Bluealsa switch off.
USING
- Input Your port number and credencials from Kodi's "Web server" settings page (Settings -> Control -> Web server)
- If port number isn't inputted, addon falls back to standard HTTP port 80 which is probably not what You want
- If username or password isn't inputted, addon omits authorization, so minimalistic setting is port number only; one should use username/password fields only if it used in Kodi itself.
- If You select Bluetooth play multiple times by mistake, it doesn't lead to errors - right non-BT device will be restored anyway
P.S. I can't remember where I found icon for that addon, so my apologies to that person in copyright meaning.
