Exact same problem here on a Zotac ID41. Tried the 5.0-RC3 yesterday. I have to manualy use the "trust & connect" to reconnect my wiimote.

Here's my workaround as autoconnect stopped working from version 4.2 (and is still broken in 5.0 RC3)

1. make sure that cron is activated in the Openelec settings addon.
2. Pair the wiimote by using "trust & connect". Note the mac address.
   Mine is 00:26:59:62:70:33
3. Create 2 files in the /storage/.config folder:
   autostart.sh which contains:
   #!/bin/bash
   #to be put in /storage/.config
   #then launch it every minute with a cron task
   for i in {1..7}
   do
   /usr/bin/bluetoothctl </storage/.config/commands.list> /storage/.config/dummy.out
   wait
   sleep 1
   done

a commands.list file with (adapt to your own mac address):
connect 00:26:59:62:70:33

Then crontab -e
enter a line with * * * * * /storage/.config/autostart.sh > /storage/.config/cron-out 2>&1

exit and confirm that you want to save the files.
4) change the permissions by
chmod 0777 /storage/.config/autostart.sh
chmod 0777 /storage/.config/commands.list

I'm not sure of the correct number of loops to perform to cover 1 minute.
It has to be tested more, but it seems to do the job.

Here is a procedure that worked for me with OpenELEC 5.0.5 :

• The key is not to use 1+2 to connect but to use the sync button on the remote the first time for pairing it.
• Then just press the connect button in the OpenElec Bluetooth options.
• After that first pairing with the sync button my Wiimote just connects with OpenELEC by pressing any button, not 1+2.

Still broken on a Pi3 and the 6.0.3 OpenElec image (the latest, I believe).

The script also needs updating (possibly for newer OpenElec / bluetoothctl ?)

#!/bin/bash
#to be put in /storage/.config
#then launch it every minute with a cron task
for i in 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 7 8 9 10 11 12  
do
/usr/bin/bluetoothctl < /storage/.config/commands.list
wait
sleep 4
done

Adjust the number of numbers on the for line and the pause after sleep so that

time ./autostart.sh

takes just under one minute on your Pi.

Bluetooth keyboard needs to be in discovery mode (rather than just powered on), and must be paired normally via the settings to being with)
