Version 0.0.1 BETA
A Raspberry Pi GUI Bluetooth audio player Copyright (c) 2021, Douglas Otwell Distributed under the MIT license http://opensource.org/licenses/MIT
Bluetunes is a GUI application, written in Python and Tkinter. It is not a media player. It will connect to the BlueZ MediaPlayer, listen for D-Bus signals, and keep the screen synced to the player. It also allows you to pause the stream, skip to the next track, and adjust the volume from your desktop.
This is a BETA version of the software.
BlueTunes tries to access a remote service: performance depends in part on that service. In my experience, and using my Android phone, Amazon Music works perfectly, Spotify is (sadly) less capable. Please try your favorite media streamer.
Built and tested on a Raspberry Pi. But, I can't think why it shouldn't run on any flavor of Linux with BlueZ.
- BlueZ 5 (tested with BlueZ 5.50)
- PulsaAudio (tested with PulseAudio 12.2)
- The ability to stream audio from a Bluetooth source to the Pi (PulseAudio is all that's really needed here; configuration required on the Pi)
