Anyone succesfully wrangled bluetoothctl to get a headless setup to auto-find and pair to a bluetooth speaker? It seems straightforward enough, and I have discovered and trusted my headphones as a test, but they won't connect after that and "scan on" doesn't pick them up most of the time now.
It will allow me to fire up my invader.fm player when others are in the lounge and listen anywhere within headphone range. Yes I could do this via my phone/tablet/chromebook directly, or install the gui OS on th pi zero and connect manually each time via vnc as I used to before the rebuild, but where would we all be without pointless* projects to get lost in?
'*Once done for this, I could look to pair it with a minirig or similar and do a mini bike sound system for a noisy commute, but even then an old skool ghetto blaster in a carrier bag still seems to be the Manchester crowd chosen method for this.
