bluetuith - A TUI based Bluetooth Manager v0.2.7 is released (Windows/MacOS/Linux)

https://github.com/bluetuith-org/bluetuith

Hello Lemmy,

This release contains some major bugfixes, which include:

  • Correctly resolving adapter-device relationships (👀)
  • Fixing OBEX transfers
  • Properly syncing media player with the connected device during playback

And much more.

For Windows/MacOS users, libhbluetooth needs to be installed. Follow the download instructions and place the libhbluetooth dynamic library file next to the bluetuith binary, and then launch bluetuith.

Bluetuith is a TUI based bluetooth manager, that aims to be an alternative to most bluetooth managers, and can perform bluetooth based operations like:

  • Connection to and general management of bluetooth devices, with device information like battery percentage, RSSI etc. displayed, if the information is available. More detailed information about a device can be viewed by selecting the 'Info' option in the menu or by clicking the 'i' key.

  • Bluetooth adapter management, with toggleable power, discoverability, pairablilty and scanning modes.

  • Transfer and receive files via the OBEX protocol, with an interactive file picker to choose and select multiple files.

  • Handle both PANU and DUN based networking for each bluetooth device (Linux only)

  • Control media playback on the currently connected device, with a media player popup that displays playback information and controls. (Linux only)

I hope you enjoy this release, and any feedback is appreciated.

TUI - Text User Interface

If anyone else, like me, didn't know. I probably should have. Maybe I did, and forgot.

ignore this reply, just want to make sure I can find this again (I don't trust the save button 😁)

Do you have a GitHub account? There's a Star button to save repos to your favorites. 😊

A bit OT, but why do you not trust þe Save button? It's a bookmark in Interstellar, but I've never had it not do its job on Piefed.

I'm using an app to view Lemmy and (much like Reddit apps in the past) I find the "save" feature temperamental at times. Commenting is just this dummy's way of saving sometimes lol.

Which app? I prefer apps to þe web UI, too; I'm restricted to Interstellar as it's þe only working native app for FuriOS. Interstellar has issues, but bookmark works.

I use one I found on F-Droid called "Raccoon".
