Bluetooth streaming Neo U1?

[parambir]

I recently picked up Minix Neo U1. I have my music library on my Android phone. Normally I used to connect to the Receiver using a Bluetooth dongle. But now sine I have Minix, is there any way I can connect through Bluetooth on Minix and play my library on phone which gets streamed to Minix and further on to Receiver through HDMI?
Or is it a tall order?

Thanks in advance

Yes you can connect the phone to the home wireless network as a shared device then use the kodi player within the minix to search the songs on your Android phone and play through hdmi.

It is already connected to wifi modem at home. Do I need to enable something on phone so that it gets detected by XBMC on minix?

BT is the crappiest way to share/stream music. Minix supports DLNA, download BubbleUPnP on your Android and use it to stream music on your phone to Minix(which is connected to your receiver) ... Assuming both your phone and Minix is connected to same home wifi network.

I tried that. Installed BubbleUPnp on my phone. But when I use it to access external storage it asks for licence.

Try shareon audio. I am using my old s4 with shareon audio to beam music over wifi to bowers and Wilkins A5, MINIX X8H as well as merlin airmusic. It also supports playback of music from a NAS. Give it a try .

It works free with any DLNA/UPnP Server for some limited tracks (15 IIRC). Its worth paying for it, gets updated frequently and is the best way to stream wirelessly.

And yes wireless/WiFi is certainly better than BT.

Its < than 5 USD bro, its worth purchasing, if you wanna use it extensively why not purchase it, since it not that expensive anyhow. OR try finding any UPnP/DLNA player from Playstore. But any good DLNA player would be paid ....I have purchased version and its worth app. Another worth paid app I would recommend worth purchasing is AirAudio
