How to determine DVB-S2 capability in S2API?
I'm currently adopting the patch that makes VDR use S2API, but I can't figure out how an application is supposed to find out whether a DVB device is DVB-S or DVB-S2.
Clearly I must be missing something, since S2API is said to be "technically superior" than the "multiproto" API (where, BTW, this was no problem at all ;-).

This bit is missing in current api.
Will be added soon, i guess asa someone provides a patch :) A that time, i solve that with a user toggleable "S2 capable device" ui option.

Klaus,
I have the same problem with diseqc version. There is no request we can do to determine which version is supported by te device. This was allready missing in V3 of the API.
Michel.

Considering that the "multiproto" API did think of handling this, I really don't understand why the "technologically superior" *S2*API didn't even think of this.
Requiring the user to configure this is a workaround that even more disqualifies the decision to go S2API.
But anyway, it looks like we're stuck with this inferior API, so I've posted a patch that adds this capability. Let's hope it gets adopted - VDR 1.7.2 will require it, anyway.

FE_DISEQC_RECV_SLAVE_REPLY sets errno to EOPNOTSUPP if DiSEqC 2.x is not supported by the device driver. Set slave_reply->timeout to 0 to avoid blocking.
Have you ever seen a switch, LNB, motor or other satellite equipment which actually provides useful data via DiSEqC 2.x?

Andreas
