Hello,

I am trying to use the new "input" service.

When I use new Service interface, all works fine :
~ # dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest='org.bluez' /org/bluez
org.bluez.Manager.ListServices
method return sender=:1.48 -> dest=:1.55

     array [
        string "/org/bluez/service_input"
     ]

~ # dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest='org.bluez'
/org/bluez/service_input org.bluez.Service.GetName
method return sender=:1.48 -> dest=:1.54
string "Input service"

But, I can not access to the input service :
~ # dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest='org.bluez.input'
/org/bluez/input org.bluez.input.Manager.ListDevices
Error org.freedesktop.DBus.Error.ServiceUnknown: The name
org.bluez.input was not provided by any .service files

~ # dbus-send --system --print-reply --dest='org.bluez'
/org/bluez/input org.bluez.input.Manager.ListDevices
Error org.bluez.Error.UnknownMethod: Method "ListDevices" with
signature "" on interface "org.bluez.input.Manager" doesn't exist

Did I made a mistake ?

Thanks

Fred

Hi Frederic,

Services don' t have a well known name, you can' t send a message to 'org.bluez.input'. You have to call ActivateService to get the Bus id and send the message to that address.

'org.bluez' doesn't implement input paths or interfaces. I will try update the BlueZ wiki to explain how the input service works. Give me some hours.
http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/Input

btw, the network service has a similar behavior and its documentation is more complete. Check the wiki: http://wiki.bluez.org/wiki/Network

BR,
