          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.

            Bluetooth daemon 5.38

            Version 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!

                      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:

                            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 install

                            Note, that you probably have to do 'sudo apt-get install git' first.

                              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:

                                    @luetzel This is what I get as my bluetooth service output,which now indicates the correct version 5.39:

                                      When you tried sixpair before, it seemed to work:

                                      I have now installed QtSixA and have run Sixpair:

                                      I don't understand what's going on ..

                                          And why it is no running anymore? Try
                                          sudo systemctl daemon-reload
                                          sudo service bluetooth restart

                                          and lets see if it helps.
