Official moOde 8 support thread

Anyone tried Bluetooth functionality. Running 8.01 on RPI3B+ and getting following screen after scan. Same behaviour from terminal. Not the same behaviour that I had with 7.6.1 which worked as expected.

I can confirm.

The information returned by bluetoothctl scan on seem to have changed between buster and bullseye. Sigh.

I get this which seems pretty normal. IIRC sometimes the scan has to be run multiple times before names start appearing in the list.

Code:

Argh. I forgot 1) I'd turned off my usual BT devices and 2) moOde now detects BLE as well as Classic devices. So, when I scanned I detected a ton of BLE sensors I have salted around the house but no audio-related devices. A number of the BLE devices don't transmit an identifier so they show up only as MAC addresses, which is what led to my confusion.

Turning on my usual BT speaker and several moOde players' pairing agents, I now see them in the output but they're kind of "lost in the noise" of all the BLE devices.

This leads me to suggest one might want to make detection of BLE devices optional. I remember (now!) the circumstance which lead to BLE scanning being added, but I'd argue that most audio-related devices use Classic Bluetooth.

[NOTE to self: don't try to do a quick test just you are rushing out the door. Bound to go badly when you overlook details.]
