Get AVRCP and BlueZ to work for controlling phone

not sure if I got everything right so please be a bit patient with me ;-)

I setup my RPi with BlueZ + pulse (on Rasbian) audio working as A2DP receiver and it works like charm with my iPhone and iPad. For my project I would like to implement AVRCP to control the audio player over bluetooth.

In the current stable version or Raspian BlueZ is implemented in version 4.99, the last v4 version is 4.101 and BlueZ 5 is already out.

Did anybody get AVRCP to work and control at least the major functions play/pause, prev and next? I would be so happy to implement that as well!

Cheers!

how far have you been going on this task? am doing almost the same,(PandaBoard-ES + iPhone) and am using Bluez4.98-2ubuntu7. so far you can get the port of the iPhone responsible for the AV remote Control, create a L2CAP socket and connect your RPi to the device at this port.

until this point you should be able to transfer the music via bluetooth(somehow weird because for this should be used a A2DProfile), any chance, this is working on your Rpi???

Cheers!
