What bluetooth dongle is recommended? I couldn’t find suggestions. The current dongle has an antenna attached and I would like it to be a bit neater. I will try the 7811 and see how that works.
#EMBED JIVELITE IN WEBPAGE DRIVERS#
I found that the Edimax dongle that I had would require some work with the drivers so I will not follow that route at the moment. I connected and disconnected many times without any issues. The configuration has been very stable and was running for 3 days without reboot.
I will run the pi in this mode for a few days to see how stable it is. I will probably examine further when I get a replacement dongle as it is 5 years old. Is the problem as difficult as you think? I would need to do more testing to check. Certainly part of the problem is Jivelite but does having a separate dongle help. It does raise the question as to what is causing the problem. The health checker is showing Internet connected but it definitely isn’t. I have noticed that what is being reported in the m2p web pages is slightly strange. I cannot be sure if it is the dongle or the reset that makes the difference (or both). I had to do a reset of Jivelite again and the entire configuration started working. I thought I would try reactivating Accesspoint to see if there was any improvement with the dongle. As part of the reconfiguration, I found that resetting Jivelite helped when the server/player could not be found. I had some problems when streaming from a server over the inbuilt wifi and I thought I would try an old dongle that I had. There have been some further developments. The only internet connection will be via a mifi and I would rather not have to switch that on just to get the player to work. This particular server is intended to be used in a vehicle. I note that I get the message 3 times in the Audioplayer tab. I do get the message that „Device is started in Automatic Accesspoint Mode.“
