You can then decide whether you want to play the Bluetooth stream directly to your local Max2Play device’s sound card or whether you want to set up a separate stream in the local Squeezebox Server of the Max2Play device. By streaming to the Squeezebox Server, all Squeezelite players can directly receive the Bluetooth stream from your smartphone or tablet. Another advantage is, that you don’t need to change the audio player settings. All that’s needed to be done for this solution is clicking the button under „Stream to Squeezebox Server“ in the Bluetooth plugin and a channel for the Bluetooth playback will automatically be set up in your local Squeezebox Server.

If you want to stream directly to only your device’s sound card, just follow the three easy steps neatly detailed in the Bluetooth plugin’s description below. Simply deactivate the integrated audio of the Raspberry Pi 3, set the players‘ sound card to „Pulse“ and delete their command line parameters. Afterwards, the paired Bluetooth device can immediately start playing whatever it selects.
