bluetoothctl-transport - Media Transport Submenu

bluetoothctl [--options] [transport.commands]

List available transports.

# list

Show transport information.

# show [transport]

Acquire transport.

# acquire <transport> [transport1...]

Note:

If running the setup with an audio server that has LE Audio support (such as PipeWire) it will automatically acquire transports according to the configured roles.

Select transport. For transports created on a Broadcast Sink device only. This moves the transport to the "broadcasting" state, pending acquire.

# select <transport> [transport1...]

Note: If running the setup with an audio server that has LE Audio support (such as PipeWire), it will prompt it to automatically acquire the transport.

Unelect transport. For transports created on a Broadcast Sink device only. This moves the transport to the "idle" state, pending release by the audio server. If the transport was acquired by bluetoothctl it can be released straight away, without having to be unselected.

# unselect <transport> [transport1...]

Note: If running the setup with an audio server that has LE Audio support (such as PipeWire), it will prompt it to automatically release the transport.

Release transport.

# release <transport> [transport1...]

Note:

Transports acquired by an audio server, can only be released by said audio server.

Send contents of a file.

# send <transport> <filename>

Get/Set file to receive.

# receive <transport> [filename]

Get/Set transport volume.

# volume <transport> [value]
