Play music from phone to computer speakers via bluetooth
 

Hello, it's simple. I use kubuntu and want to connect my droid incredible 2 via bluetooth (done) but I want to play music on my droid and hear it on my computer's speakers. I have my computer setup as a mythtv media server and it'd be great to play from my phone and hear it on my sound system.

I have sending/receiving files down via bluetooth, though super slow and would probably never use it (40k/sec).

So, on the computer, when I run lsusb, I see the bluetooth controller as:
Bus 002 Device 005: ID 0a12:0001 Cambridge Silicon Radio, Ltd Bluetooth Dongle (HCI mode)

What do I need to do to push sound over bluetooth?

-Thanks for the help

is dlna an option ?

What's dlna? Is that the sony thing?

probably you can give it a try

i think most newer fones support dlna so i dont think it is exclusively a sony thing.

dlna is a transparent way to play media from one device to another that is on the same wifi network (its kinda' like a slingbox for your home).

xbmc remote app allows sharing media; not sure about myth-tv.

Ok I will check out dlna, any good apps you know of for android that send the media? Most seem to be able to browse another dlna server, or act as a dlna server.

If my phone is the dlna server, seems to me that i'd need to go to my computer to play the media stored on my phone/dlna server.

Any idea which setup I need?

This would be better than bluetooth as the range would be much greater.

my galaxy s2 came with allshare pre-installed. i am able to play movies on my fone hosted on my pc; as well as play videos which are saved on my fone on my tv (thru my xbmc pc).

most newer tv's have this functionality built-in (tv's are basically pc's now).
