Still broken.
You have to StopBroadcast(), wait a frame, modify broadcastData, and StartAsServer() again.

Having similar issue, try to send broadcast of empty slots, but broadcast data can't be changed while broadcast is running.
Do we have other options rather then stop and start broadcast again?
Do we change broadcast data from directly NetworkTransport at runtime?

I also would really like this feature. I want to use broadcast data in my server list so that it can display dynamic server info such as available slots.

This is really affecting a chat system I'm making. It really should be fixed.

I am also having this issue on 5.3.5f1.
There are also still numerous issues with discovery broadcasts not working after restarting the discovery service multiple (typically 3 or more) times.

I am still having this issue. When was it fixed, and which version of Unity is the fix included in? Also how do we update the broadcasting message?

How can the broadcast data be changed while service is running? I currently restart broadcastdiscovery in order to change the data being send.
