Hello Lemmy,
This release contains some major bugfixes, which include:
- Correctly resolving adapter-device relationships (👀)
- Fixing OBEX transfers
- Properly syncing media player with the connected device during playback
And much more.
For Windows/MacOS users, libhbluetooth needs to be installed. Follow the download instructions and place the libhbluetooth dynamic library file next to the bluetuith binary, and then launch bluetuith.
Bluetuith is a TUI based bluetooth manager, that aims to be an alternative to most bluetooth managers, and can perform bluetooth based operations like:
-
Connection to and general management of bluetooth devices, with device information like battery percentage, RSSI etc. displayed, if the information is available. More detailed information about a device can be viewed by selecting the ‘Info’ option in the menu or by clicking the ‘i’ key.
-
Bluetooth adapter management, with toggleable power, discoverability, pairablilty and scanning modes.
-
Transfer and receive files via the OBEX protocol, with an interactive file picker to choose and select multiple files.
-
Handle both PANU and DUN based networking for each bluetooth device (Linux only)
-
Control media playback on the currently connected device, with a media player popup that displays playback information and controls. (Linux only)
I hope you enjoy this release, and any feedback is appreciated.
For which use cases it is better than
bluetoothctllinux utility?Will update as soon as I’m back on my desktop. Thanks for the good work, love bluetuith!
