Hello,
I’m looking desperately to use volumio which is installed on a raspberry 3 in bluetooth. I browsed the forum but I did not find a simple method to install and or activate it. Is there a tutorial that will explain how to do it?
Or should I use a player other than volumio? If so which one?
Thanks in advance for reading me

I want to be able to control volumio in bluetooth from my android phone, not to connect a bluetooth device like speakers.
Volumio has bluetooth audio playback. This feature is available in a simple way if you enable MyVolumio
i have activated the free myVolumio trial and the bluetooth input playback on one device.
I can not see my volumio as bluetooth device either on ios (13) or on Android (8.1).
Hardware is a Raspberry pi 3b with hifiberry Amp, without external bluetooth reciever.
Software is a fresh install of volumio 2.692 from 19.12.2019.
Do i have to activate bluetooth over ssh?
Is theire anyway to restart the bluetooth service or to analyse any logs?
best regards,
midrag
I have the same problem.
Can anyone help me??
Can you explane the “simpel” way.
I have just register nut can’t Find settings how to activate Bluetooth
I have the same issue: I have activated Bluetooth after a subscription to myvolumio but i dont understand how i can pair my phone to volumio… Can anyone help?
Thanks
Guillaume
Restart your volumio instance. From your phone scan for Bluetooth devices, you should find your volumio as an endpoint
I possibly missunderstood this feature… i am searching for a solution to connect a bluetooth speaker! Is this possible?
Same here, just installed Volumio v 2.882 (comes with jessie) on a RasPi and would like to use an external BT speaker in place of the speaker connected to the 3.5mm jack currently with a short 10 cm cable. It works great with the wired speaker and I can control it from my Android phone. I’d like use a BT speaker and allow me to stream the music to it. Nothing more fancy than that.
If this is not possible, can anyone recommend a free service that will allow this? I’m only streaming radio and podcasts, no album, local music etc.
well it’s possible with rPi’s hardware, but you need to do a lot of customizations to the audio path. Pretty sure it will break other things.
Just google on “pi as BT transmitter”.
i just bought a long range bt transmitter from ali express
works great and hooked it on the 3.5 mm jack output (on my dac)
Could you share a link to what you got, this sounds interesting, thanks!
Thanks, that’s one search I haven’t done, most of my have contained “volumio bluetooth”, I will give this a try.
I think I have the BT device set up (e.g., paired), but I don’t know how to select and connect the given BT headphones from the command line with jessie - that will be my next thing to look up.
Super, thanks for sharing.
no problem it’s better than the 10 meter you normal get…
not sure if it will be available as output device in Volumio? should I expect. And you can always hook-up a BT TX-RX device, which will work for sure.
Thanks, never even considered this as an option (honestly, didn’t even know this was available, I’m using a BT dongle). One more thing to investigate. I appreciate the lead.
