Hi. I'm currently using the latest OSMC media center (successor of raspbmc) on the raspberry pi 2. It uses the bluez packages (5.12 AFAIR) for handling the bluetooth connections. Connecting and using the ps3 remote (1st gen) works quite ok with that. The problem I have is, that the remote doesn't seem to go to standby and batteries drain very quickly (2-3 weeks). Before OSMC, I used raspbmc. It had the same problems initially. But a user named "kitlaan" applied patches to the original bluez packages to get standby working. After replacing the original bluez packages with the patched ones, standby worked and batteries lasted at least 6 months. One could easily recognize the standby when hitting a button on the remote. It lagged a second before the button press went through to kodi. After it had woken up, pressing a button worked instantly - without a delay. Back then, the patch used the 4.98 version of bluez. Now I can see that the latest official bluez version is 5.36. Now I'm wondering, whether the patches have made it somehow into the official bluez version. Testing with 5.12 showed, that standby didn't work as expected. Also when using a IdleTimeout of 1 minute within the input.conf. Basically one can get it to work with that (there are the patches mentioned): https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Sony_PS3_BD_Remote Does anybody have a clue whether the patches - or some parts of them - have made it into bluez?
