MacBook – Bluetooth audio streaming from Android to Mac

androidbluetoothmacbook pro

Is there any way I can Stream Audio from my Android device via Bluetooth to my Macbook Pro?

I'm using OS X 10.9.1 and Android 4.4.2.

The AUX-Port on my Android device has stopped working. Is there a way to stream audio to my Mac so that I can play audio on my Android device through my Mac's speakers?

After 6 years, I finally found a solution. Use sndcpy with ADB over TCP.

Ensure that you have USB Debugging on and Install via USB on.

If vlc is not found even though you installed VLC Media Player, then you can set an environment variable in your ~/.zshrc or ~/.bashrc by adding a new line:

export VLC="/Applications/VLC.app/Contents/MacOS/VLC"

If you encounter this exception:

java.lang.SecurityException: You need the android.permission.INSTALL_GRANT_RUNTIME_PERMISSIONS permission to use the PackageManager.INSTALL_GRANT_RUNTIME_PERMISSIONS flag

then open sndcpy bash script in a code editor and remove the -g flag from the two adb install commands.
