Actually the decision should be based on the presence of RegisterApplication method, if that exists then endpoint switching should be supported as well, so has nothing to do the GetManagedObjects API of the bluetoothd. That said RegisterApplication was not made experimental which kind makes 5.51 broken because it would appear that it endpoint objects would be exposed but when in fact there are not, anyway lets finally have the code to use this interface and then we can remove the experimental flag from MediaEndpoint. > > > > > You can also have a look at how our gdbus internal library (uses > > > > > libdbus) utilize it: > > > > > > > > > > https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/bluetooth/bluez.git/tree/gdbus/client.c#n1269 > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > -- > > > Pali Rohár > > > pali.rohar@xxxxxxxxx > > > > > > > > -- > Pali Rohár > pali.rohar@xxxxxxxxx -- Luiz Augusto von Dentz
