Connect a record player on Bluetooth

Hello,

I have a Roku Streambar Pro  and a record player with a Bluetooth transmitter. I would like to be able to play records with the soundbar, but when I go to Bluetooth settings on the Roku, it seems to only want to connect to phones or tablets. When I search, it doesn't detect the record player's transmitter. My portable Bluetooth speaker connects no problem, but I would prefer to be able to use the Roku bar. Is there another way to pair a Bluetooth device.

Thanks in advance!

    I have had my sony turntable comnected for many months and worked great.  But recently the bluetooth setting on the roku have changed and I can no longer get them to connect.  Have you figured anything out?

      No, I haven't found a workaround yet. I thought maybe I could connect my phone to the transmitter and somehow "pass-through" from the phone to the soundbar, but no such luck. Very frustrating limitation to only be able to connect a phone, and not some other Bluetooth device.

        I just got mine working perfect again with the phone&tablet option.  I had to factory reset my soundbar first.

    You can connect the turn table as "headphones".

      Thanks, but no dice for me. Had tried before and just tried again. Doesn't detect it. It seems to me that pairing a phone would be the soundbar as the receiver, which is what we'd want for this, and pairing headphones would be the soundbar as the transmitter.
