Hello again,

Our hypothesis has been confirmed. I captured the packets from the BIS gateway and I could see that the broadcast name was updated when I changed it during runtime.

You should use a packet analyzer to inspect the packets from your broadcaster to find out if your implementation works as you expect.

Edit: Note that you should configure the same name for BT_DEVICE_NAME and BROADCAST_NAME. It is not a strict requirement, but it is strongly recommended.

Best regards,

Maria

Hello,

I got some insight internally, and the current hypothesis is that the nRF Connect for mobile application does not see the broadcast name, but the device name. I will do a test later today and report back with my findings.

Best regards,

Maria

Thanks for the details.

I've looked into it thoroughly, and at the bottom of it - the name is set with bt_le_ext_adv_set_data(), exactly as it is done in NCS v2.6.0.

Furthermore, my project is in its final development stage, so changing the SDK at this point feels like an unnecessary step.

Actually, I'll be surprised if similar code modifications in NCS v2.7.0 for setting the broadcast name will do the trick (since in the background it's similar to v2.6.0).

I would appreciate specific support for NCS v2.6.0. I feel like I'm missing something here and believe it won't be complicated for the engineers that created the relevant modules.

Thanks

Hello,

The method for setting up advertisingin the audio application has been improved since NCS v2.6.0 and I recommend that you switch to NCS v2.7.0 to make use of the update. For reference, please see broadcast_source.c from NCS v2.7.0 and the commit which introduced the update.

Best regards,

Maria

Hello,

I am missing some information to be able to support you.

Which nRF Connect SDK are you using?

Best regards.

Apologies, but I have not had time to look at this today. I will return to this on Monday.

Thank you for your continued patience.
