Currently, it were tested only with ISDB-T (i tested scan/zap and gnutv, all via DVB API v5). The advantage of adding it at the library is that any application using it will also be capable of dealing with the newly produced channel lists (as more fields will be needed to represent the extra attributes of the new standards). I got already some inputs for things to be improved. I'll start handling those after the next kernel merge window. Tests are appreciated, especially with other standards. -- Cheers, Mauro -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
