Ah ok, never mind ;-) -

result of 'sudo service bluetoothd status':

sudo service bluetooth status
(my mistake, the 'd' at the end was wrong)

The really really weird thing is that somehow the Pi/OSMC is seeing the PS3 controller as I am currently watching the News streaming on OSMC and when I push the PS button on the PS3 controller after about 7 seconds it makes the stream temporarily freeze for a couple of seconds indicating that the pi is seeing it as this is repeatable every time I push the PS button!! V strange!
-
@luetzel ermmm...I'm confused.Is this what should happen when I apply the patch?

@Wolfman100
I think it is related to the connection attempts, it fails to pair and disconnects again. You should
be able to follow this process with 'sudo bluetoothctl'. After a failed connection attempt you should
see a 'disconnected' message for the controller. -
@Wolfman100
Bluetooth daemon 5.38Version should be at 5.39 not 5.38! Did you forget to 'make install' or to reboot your Pi?
-
@luetzel no I definetly did 'make install' but haven't rebooted.
Also,all the patches haven't been applied yet as I was awaiting your response as to whether this was correct:

When attempting to apply the patches I get this output:
root@osmc:/bluez-5.39# patch -p1 < patches/bluez-01_add-obexd-policy.patch
patch: **** Only garbage was found in the patch input. -

Sorry, the link that you provided was broken.
Awww, I see you did not download the patches in 'raw-mode'. Make sure that you don't have html tags in your files.
Press the 'Raw' button, before you download the patch files from github!
-
@luetzel OK will do now.Somethings definetly amiss now though as my Bluetooth option has dissapeared from within OSMC
-
I was downloading the patches by right-click 'save link address' and pasting it after wget

Ah ok, that's why it didn't work for you. Make sure that your link has a 'raw' in front, when downloading with wget:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/luetzel/bluez/master/patch/bluez-01_add-obexd-policy.patch
-
@luetzel Thanks again.Will try again
-
@luetzel Shall I download from your github?

Well thats up to you, at least it would simplify the procedure to a:
git clone https://github.com/luetzel/bluez
cd bluez
./configure --prefix=/usr --mandir=/usr/share/man --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var --enable-sixaxis
make -j3
sudo make installNote, that you probably have to do 'sudo apt-get install git' first.
-
@luetzel said in SHANWAN / PS3 CONTROLLER Pi3 RETROPIE 3.6 BLUETOOTH SETUP:
sudo make install
Ha..well that seems a lot easier!So I'm presuming this is with all the patches already applied?
-
This is now what I get when I run sixpair:
root@osmc:/# sudo sixpair
Current Bluetooth master: ff:00:03:c6:9e:66
Unable to retrieve local bd_addr fromhcitool dev.
Please enable Bluetooth or specify an address manually. -
@Wolfman100
yes they are already included. -
@luetzel This is what I get as my bluetooth service output,which now indicates the correct version 5.39:

Please enable Bluetooth or specify an address manually.When you tried sixpair before, it seemed to work:
I have now installed QtSixA and have run Sixpair:

Setting master bd_addr to b8:27:eb:a1:9b:7fI don't understand what's going on ..
