Sony Android TV Bluetooth headset issue a2dp

From what I understand after investigating this issue, this happens with multiple TV types from Sony.

I got a new TV, Sony BRAVIA, 49XG8096, 4K Ultra HD.
The TV is cool, no issues with it at all.

My plan was to connect it with a Bluetooth headset too, so I can watch a movie without wires, even if my wife is sleeping next to me.

I first bought a JBL Tune 500 headset, just because that was on stock, and could not lose time searching for anything else. The headset was working fine, connecting with anything, but I couldn't get it to connect to the TV at all.
I looked up this issue and saw that there is a list of headphones that are on an Official list from Sony. I can't say I was happy, but I went back to the store, and changed the headphones to a Sony this time, model WH-CH500B.

According to the list, it should have worked.
Well, it didn't.

I investigated some more, and I found out that this is might be a software issue, with a very easy fix.
I went to the TV's Play Store, searched for Bluetooth, and installed the first 3rd party app that I found. The app connected the Sony Headset to the Sony TV in less then 5 seconds.

After this, I can just go to the TV settings, and the WH-CH500B is listed as paired, I can easily turn it on or off.

I am thinking that the JBL might have been working too if I used an app like this.

I am not sure why Sony cannot do this themselves, but I don't care anymore.

Find position of object in the screen

Tested it, it works pretty nice in FF, Chrome, IE, Safari too.
function resetPosition(object, args) {
/* find the textbox object */
var tb = object._element;
/* measure textbox height */
var tbheight = tb.offsetHeight;
/* find textbox in the page */
var rect = tb.getBoundingClientRect();
var divleft = Math.floor(rect.left);
var divtop = Math.floor(rect.top + tbheight);
/* find the auto complete extender div in the page */
var ex = object._completionListElement;
/* move the ace to the right position */
if (ex)
$common.setLocation(ex, new Sys.UI.Point(divleft, divtop));
}

Wix heat command exited with code 319 (-out parameter must specify a file path)


  • The '-out' or '-o' parameter must specify a file path. File: heat.exe
  • The command " "C:\Program Files (x86)\WiX Toolset v3.7\bin\heat.exe" project "..\Web \" -gg -g1 -cg PACKAGEFILES sreg -dr DEPLOYFOLDER -out "C:\Users(...)\Server\Wix\Frags.wxs" " exited with code 319. File: C:\Users(...)\Server\Wix\Wix.wixproj


This was really not a lot of information for me to use.
What I fount out, is that Wix is throwing this error on anything. I will explain.

So this was my code:

"$(WIX)bin\heat.exe" dir "$(vm4heat)" -cg vm4heat -gg -scom -sreg -sfrag -srd -out "$(ProjectDir)\FilesFragment.wxs"

And as you can see, I have 3 different paths in my code.
The error message says that the issue is on the "out".
Well, the actual error was on the "dir".

So in case you ever get this error, don't look for wrong doing in the "out" parameter only. Check EVERY path, one by one. In my case it was an extra backslash at the end of the "dir" parameter.

Hope this helps.
