This Kodi addon provides a manager that allows to pair, connect, disconnect and remove bluetooth devices from within a linux based Kodi. This is useful for headless systems.
This addon communicates with bluez via the dbus interface, bluez and dbus must be up and running. In case of bluetooth audio devices, the module "pulseaudio-module-bluetooth" needs to be installed.
sudo apt install pulseaudio-module-bluetooth
systemctl --user restart pulseaudio
This addon is included into the Linux Addon Repository. It is recommended to use the repository for the installation of the addon. This will ease version upgrades.
