For those of you who use Raspberry Pi’s in your home environment, I’m curious as to what you use them for. What applications are you running on them? Do you have your Pi’s setup in a cluster?
Yep that’s also how I set it up, it boots up in RetroPi and then you can start Kodi from there, but now I mostly boot up on the MPD SD card instead. I have also configured it to be a Bluetooth speaker, so I can attach the phone.
I couldn’t find a simple plug and play solution, so it took several tries to find the right guides, especially because raspbian have changed their Bluetooth/audio setup, so the old guides don’t work.
The solution I found uses a script/daemon that sets up the speaker and waits for Bluetooth connections.

I have RetroPi that can run Kodi inside of it.

What did you do/use to turn it into a Bluetooth receiver/speaker?

I’ll look for the script…

I added a systemd service running as root.
