Problem with wireshark 2.3.0 with ble_sniffer

[mr_jj]

I have followed the instructions for sniffing ble packets with wireshark. Errors would occur when using 2.2.5 so I switched to the latest development version. See this question

Wireshark 2.3.0 starts correctly now when I press 'w' in the sniffer. However, it appears to capture packets but not display them. Is this a problem with wireshark 2.3.0 being incompatible with ble_sniffer or a configuration problem in wireshark?

Only Wireshark 1.x is compatible with Nordic Sniffer, it's in the documentation...

Wirehsark 1.x is End Of Life for over a year (latest release 3 years ago wireshark roadmap). This answer is correct but not acceptable for me. When will there be an update of BLE_Sniffer ?

Hi Julien,

At this moment there is no update to the nRF-Sniffer planned. However, it may change in the coming months. Sorry for any inconvenience.

You can use version 2.4.0 now wich is official.

You just forgot to do this step from the link :

• go to edit->preferences->protocols->DLT_USER
• edit the encapsulation table and add "user10 (DLT=157)" with "nordic_ble" in payload protocol field.

After that it should display and dissect all packets
