Bluetooth cuts out after working, requires restarting app.

[edencorbin 4]

I'm using emby to stream my music library, and I connect to a JBL Extreme via bluetooth (I get the same issue connecting bluetooth in my Honda Odyssey). Everything works the first time I play a song/album/playlist (including all the items in the album/playlist). However when I switch song/album/playlist from one to another it will stop playing through bluetooth. I can see in the emby app the song is playing, my bluetooth still shows connected, the song progress bar moves and the EQ style bars also move, however no sound comes out. To get sound again I have to quit emby (not minimize), disconnect from bluetooth, reconnect to emby and choose another song/album/playlist. Importantly to note, I do not have this issue in my built in android music player (Google Play via S9+), I also don't have this issue with emby through a web browser and non bluetooth source (like PC audio). This makes it difficult to use dynamically, which otherwise is a nearly perfect interface for playing my library. Look forward to any troubleshooting steps.

Hi, we're looking into this, thanks.

[edencorbin 4]

Any progress on this? Has the issue been replicated. This is a real show stopper for my intended use, which is usually driven from Android, and often to play my music library. Can I provide any useful debugging information?

[Luke 42077]

Yes it has. We hope to have a resolution soon. Thanks.

7 years later, I have this problem...

Device is samsung s24 ultra. (I'm a premiere member)

Emby Version 4.8.11.0

I connect to my bluetooth device, cardo packtalk bold (motorcyclehelmet) as device for listening music.

After start shuffle/playing a music playlist with 46 tracks it's running fine.

After the first music track is done, the music stops playing.

I'm forced to put my motorcycle to the side from the road to enter my mobile phone. If I push the play or shuffle button, nothing happens.

This is happened multiple times. Emby is good working for me for the movie and tv-show things. Not as a replacement for spotify.

@RoadrunnerSrwhere you on wifi before going on the road ?

If thats the case turn off wifi before starting Emby app or restart Emby app after turning off wifi.

I start my motorcycle @home where wifi is. So yes thats correct. I try the next time.

Can't this be solved by the developer? With spotify, I don't have this problem...

Already thanks for your reply

Yes I don't this is has something to do with BT.

Its Emby not handling network switch right, wifi to mobil or vise versa.

Since you think its BT related, which I don't think it is.

Your helmet is connected all the way, other wise it was still at home

Look funny for 10 min, and walk away from home with you helmet on.

And see the issue.
