Re: Option to disable filtering of duplicate LE ADV

Hi Brennan,

Right now in all of the le_scan functions filter_dup is set to
LE_SCAN_FILTER_DUP_ENABLE.  This is not always desired with beacons as
the content may change.  I can force this by sending the HCI commands
to enable scanning without this filter, but then the mgmt api (and
DBUS) cannot be used for scanning.

I was wondering if people had thoughts on making this configurable?

Check out the SetDiscoveryFilter:

https://git.kernel.org/cgit/bluetooth/bluez.git/tree/doc/adapter-api.txt

When that is used it will not enable duplicated filter and in fact is
the only way to discover beacons which don't have discoverable flags
sets e.g. broadcaster.
