      @luetzel ermmm...I'm confused.Is this what should happen when I apply the patch

      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:

            https://raw.githubusercontent.com/luetzel/bluez/master/patch/bluez-01_add-obexd-policy.patch

                  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:

                      root@osmc:/# sudo sixpair
                      Current Bluetooth master: ff:00:03:c6:9e:66
                      Unable to retrieve local bd_addr from hcitool dev.
                      Please enable Bluetooth or specify an address manually.

                          @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:
                            root@osmc:/# sudo ./sixpair

                            Setting master bd_addr to b8:27:eb:a1:9b:7f

                            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.

                                      did you try:
                                      hcitool dev

                                      here it shows:
                                      Devices:
                                      hci0 00:1B:10:00:2A:EC

                                      which is the hardware address of my BT dongle. Perhaps you have to unplug/replug it to be recognized.
                                      IMHO the linux kernel should be responsible to register hci0, not bluez. Perhaps you have to shutdown/power off
                                      and reboot your pi.
