Fix playback device on multipoint - #57
Conversation

Thanks for the PR. I did not expect one to arrive before the refactor to completely land but oh well, new features are always welcome :D What's also surprising is this feature itself - took me a while to find in the offical app here:
...So by 'fixing' it's a literal translation, likely from Japanese. This is quite confusing without context, maybe we don't have to follow their naming for the export here as this API. IMO And sorry about the CI. f64c810 renamed a few names which you should change to reflect. See also f64c810#diff-5df8f943c57ef06245f1073e0a7d9d78665ded5d1bc134309a2847075b957d77L138 Linking to related protocol structs: SonyHeadphonesClient/libmdr/include/mdr/ProtocolV2T2.hpp Lines 1825 to 1859 in f64c810 I'll be getting back to you once I got the time to fully review this PR. |

That's the review on my part. The changes are small enough, too - if you don't have too much time to make the changes let me know and I'll handle it for you. Cheers and thanks again for the output. |
Sound Connect's "Fixing playback device" pins audio to the current playback device so the headphones stop handing it over to the other multipoint device. SOURCE_SWITCH_CONTROL's param byte carries this, inverted against the feature: the wire value is 1 while switching is free and 0 once the device is fixed. Verified on WF-1000XM5 (fw 6.1.0) by toggling the setting in Sound Connect and reading the byte back, then driving it the other way and confirming the padlock appears in the official app. SourceSwitchControlResult is surfaced too - the headphones refuse to fix while a call is in progress or the voice assistant holds priority, which Sound Connect reports as a dialog and would otherwise look like a dead button. The added rx packets are a real capture of the not-fixed state and of a FAIL_CALLING refusal. mdrHeadphonesGetFeature's upper bound was pinned to the last feature id, so any newly added MDR_FEATURE_* read back as invalid.

…rsion Rebased onto the current MDRProperty API (pending()/override() replace submittedDirty()/commitOneShot(), renamed underneath this branch), and renamed the public surface as requested in review: MDR_FEATURE_PLAYBACK_DEVICE_FIX becomes MDR_FEATURE_SOURCE_SWITCH_CONTROL, mdrHeadphonesGet/SetPlaybackDeviceFixed becomes mdrHeadphonesGet/SetSourceSwitchControl, MDRPlaybackFixResult becomes MDRSourceSwitchControlResult - matching SOURCE_SWITCH_CONTROL and the packet debugger instead of translating Sound Connect's Japanese-derived label. libmdr now tracks the wire value directly (1 = switching free) instead of mangling it into a "fixed" flag; the one inversion left lives in Client.cpp, where "Fixing playback device" is a UI concept. Also dropped two MDR_LOG_DEBUG calls in the SOURCE_SWITCH_CONTROL notify/param handlers, matching the other protocol handlers, which don't log there either.

Sorry for the silence - took the offer and pushed the changes myself instead. Rebased onto This is a public ABI rename - CI on the push is stuck on Capture for the new test packets is still outstanding - recording a full session on the WF-1000XM5 and will push it separately once I have the hardware in front of me, replacing the two loose files currently in |

LGTM. Thanks a lot! |

Adds Sound Connect's "Fixing playback device" to the multipoint device list: it pins audio to the current playback device so the headphones stop handing it over to the other connected device. Switching the playback device already worked on this branch; fixing it did not.
Protocol
SOURCE_SWITCH_CONTROL's param byte carries the state, and it is inverted against the user-facing feature: the wire value is1while switching is free and0once the device is fixed. I would have guessed the opposite from the naming, so it is worth flagging for review.Established on a WF-1000XM5 (fw 6.1.0):
101No
Protocol*.hpportooling/ida/changes — every struct needed already existed.Failure reporting
SourceSwitchControlResultis surfaced through a newmdrHeadphonesGetPlaybackDeviceFixResult. The headphones refuse to fix while a call is in progress or while the voice assistant holds priority (MULTIPOINT_FIXATION_FAILED_CALL/_VAin the app), and without this the button silently does nothing. Caught live: the refusal in the added capture is a realFAIL_CALLINGfrom a phone call.Drive-by fix
mdrHeadphonesGetFeaturepinned its upper bound toMDR_FEATURE_SAFE_LISTENING, so any newly addedMDR_FEATURE_*read back asMDR_RESULT_ERROR_INVALID_ARGUMENT. This silently hid the new button until I tested the built client.ABI
Additive only — new feature id, new enum, two new functions, no struct layout change — so
MDR_ABI_VERSIONis left at 1. Happy to bump it if you would rather every version change be visible.Tests
Two rx packets added to
tests/WF-1000XM5-6.1.0/(same model and firmware as the existing capture): the not-fixed param and theFAIL_CALLINGrefusal. Neither carries an address or device name. Note there is no captured frame for the fixed state — every fix attempt during the capture session was refused because a call was active.Not covered
MUSIC_HAND_OVER_SETTINGis left alone; WF-1000XM5 does not advertise it, so I had no way to test it.Malformed payloadright after the Sound Connect app releases the link. It reproduces on unmodified receive-path code, so it is not from this change — I can open an issue with logs if useful.Disclosure
Written with Claude Code (Claude Fable 5); see the
Co-Authored-Bytrailer on the commit. I have reviewed the change and am responsible for it. Draft because the three-button row layout still needs a look on a smaller window.
