Hi,
In case someone is interested in this,
Bluetooth tethering/reverse bluetooth tethering is working  :)
1- Bluetooth tethering (sharing your smart phone internet with MLD via bluetooth)
- Pair your smart phone with MLD
- Start Bluetooth tethering from your phone settings

On MLD run Blueman then click on Network Access Point.



Code: [Select]
MLD daemon.info bluetoothd[1448]: bnep%d connected
MLD daemon.info avahi-daemon[1402]: Joining mDNS multicast group on interface bnep0.IPv6 with address fe80::20c:76ff:fe71:99e0.
MLD daemon.info avahi-daemon[1402]: New relevant interface bnep0.IPv6 for mDNS.
MLD daemon.info avahi-daemon[1402]: Registering new address record for fe80::20c:76ff:fe71:99e0 on bnep0.*.
MLD daemon.info avahi-daemon[1402]: Joining mDNS multicast group on interface bnep0.IPv4 with address 192.168.44.108.
MLD daemon.info avahi-daemon[1402]: New relevant interface bnep0.IPv4 for mDNS.
MLD daemon.info avahi-daemon[1402]: Registering new address record for 192.168.44.108 on bnep0.IPv4.
MLD daemon.info dnsmasq[20457]: reading /etc/resolv.conf
MLD daemon.info dnsmasq[20457]: using nameserver 192.168.44.1#53

2- Reverse bluetooth tethering (sharing MLD internet with your smart phone via bluetooth)
- Go to paired devices menu on your smart phone
- Click on MLD settings/services then start internet sharing

Code: [Select]
MLD daemon.info bluetoothd[1448]: bnep: bridge pan1: interface bnep0 added
MLD user.info kernel: [ 9012.666383] pan1: port 1(bnep0) entered blocking state

Hello Claus.

I understand that MLD is a media center for the majority of MLD users but not for me.
I don't spend much time using Ubuntu therefore what MLD users normally do on their Linux system i do on MLD.
That's why i always do more than one task at a time like watching tv, browsing the internet and chatting on Whatsapp at the same time  :)

Anyway, you can use MLD as a bluetooth speaker for your Notebook without installing Blueman.
Blueman allows you to pair/connect your MLD from your Notebook, without it you have to pair/connect your Notebook from MLD by using bluetoothctl then you can switch sound in pavucontrol like in screenshot.

Best Regards.

I forgot to mention that in the above screenshots i'm using MLD as a bluetooth speaker for RPI4

You can also do the opposite, send MLD sound to bluetooth headset/speaker  :)

Hello Claus,
I can't use MLD without pulseaudio because it has many advantages over Alsa.
One of them is i can watch 2 channels simultaneously with my dual tuner card and sound is working for both channels.

This topic has added another adavange for Pulseaudio that you can send/receive sound via bluetooth.

I remember that you decided to release Pulseaudio for MLD after i posted ICQ sound problem a while ago.
However, i don't know why you decided to remove it, is there some specific reason?

Note: I installed Blueman v2.3 because newer versions depends on Python3.8 which isn't installed on my MLD system.

Hi,

I was interested to use my MLD system as a bluetooth speaker for my phone or transmit audio from my MLD system to bluetooth devices.
I have succeeded in doing that by installing Blueman, it also has other features like using your phone as a bluetooth modem for your pc, creating bluetooth networks, sending/receiving files ... etc

Then while searching on Github i found the following repo

https://github.com/EHfive/pulseaudio-modules-bt

It allows you to add  LDAC, aptX, aptX HD, AAC codecs support to pulseaudio bluetooth modules.
I compiled/installed it and it works great  :)

I have added screenshots to show the difference before/after installing it.

Best Regards.

 Hi barny,

Code: [Select]
Jul 29 14:38:39 MLD-rpi4 user.err kernel: [20855.662196] Out of memory: Killed process 1260 (mediasrv) total-vm:82728kB, anon-rss:6636kB, file-rss:2176kB, shmem-rss:3672kB, UID:0 pgtables:96kB oom_score_adj:0
As Claus wrote, the above error looks strange coz you have RPI 8GB version, have you installed too many VDR plugins?
Do you use VDR Skindesigner Plugin?

/dev/dvb/adapter0/frontend0: No such device or address means the dvb driver wasn't loaded.

Since you're using RPI4, have you installed a heatsink/fan to lower the CPU temperature?

Edit: Are you using an original RPI4 power adapter?

Hi barny,
You forgot to mention if you get these erros with some specific channel or all channels?

Hi,
There is temperature alert as well.
I set the alert @ 40°C just for demonstration.

Hi,
I always wanted to have a way to display date/time, CPU temp, volume control when using MLD.

I found that nice application called Polybar, i compiled, installed it and it works great.
The only drawback it will displayed on top of other applications if you click on the maximize button of that application however it will be hidden in fullscreen mode.

Hi,

Run
Code: [Select]
apt --fix-broken installThe system will ask you that some packages will be removed and whether you agree or not.
Select
Code: [Select]
NoThen copy/paste what was suggested by the system here because i'm interested to know what caused that issue.

Hi LincolnTC,

Beobachtung 1:
Do as it says, run "apt --fix-broken install"  then see what it suggests.
Beobachtung 2:
I don't have nOpacity skin installed so i don't know what does "WarEagle icons" mean .. sorry.
