If backwards compatibility is with API, this you can test. If you mean
S2 backwards capability on DVB-S receiving backwards compatibility
mode transmission, this will be very difficult. To my knowledge no
such transmission exists. All users sofar seem to be going to full S2
usage.
I did provide a parsed TS output on the same a while back on a Backward
Compatible stream. It is there somewhere in the huge thread.
Anyway , what Johannes asked was not the BC mode, but the backward
compatibility to the API. For this we need to have at least an
agreement on the basic API change such that it can be considered stable
, so that relevant changes can be based on that. As i said on my earlier
mail, some changes have been there on my local machine which hasn't been
updated for the DVB-S2 driver as i did not find an "official" agreement
on the patch.
Waiting on that ACK from Johannes on multiproto7a, as he said it looks
OK, to his eyes. Maybe he is having his last round of checks.
