How can I prevent automatic advertising after disconnection?

[sivar2311]

I send out an advertisement with service data for 5 seconds. (pBleAdvertisement->start(5)).
Within this time, it is possible for other devices to establish a connection and read out the characteristics.

If no device establishes a connection, the advertisement stops (as expected) after about 5 seconds.

But if a device establishes a connection and then disconnects, the advertisement starts again - this time of unlimited duration.
How can I prevent this?

Edit:
I also noticed that after a device was connected and I start advertising manufacturer data (see #371) - which is sent out for 1 second (pBleAdvertisement->start(1)), the duration is completely ignored. The advertisement runs forever.

The function you're looking for is here:

Strange, I'll check it out.

Thank you very much!
That's what i was looking for!
NimBLEServer::advertiseOnDisconnect(false) fixed also the endless advertising!
