Hi,

As far as I can tell, calling bt_advertise_service() with a 'False' flag should stop advertising a service. But if I run the snippet below, it will start advertising the service, but the service does not get removed after the last call to bt_advertise_service(). (So, if I run this code a few times, it advertises duplicate services with the same name and channel.)

Do other people have this problem? I am running PyS60 1.3.1 final. I am not sure whether this is a problem on other versions.

Thanks very much,
B.

import socket

SERVICE_NAME = u"My Service"

s = socket.socket(socket.AF_BT, socket.SOCK_STREAM)
p = socket.bt_rfcomm_get_available_server_channel(s)

s.bind(("", p))
socket.set_security(s, socket.AUTH)

print "Advertising service '%s'" % SERVICE_NAME
socket.bt_advertise_service(SERVICE_NAME, s, True, socket.OBEX)

print "Stopping service"
socket.bt_advertise_service(SERVICE_NAME, s, False, socket.OBEX)

print "Closing socket"
s.close()

Your code should work. Please file a bug about this.

I can confirm this bug for 1.3.13 final.
