Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-15; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-media-owner@vger.kernel.org List-ID: The last week two guys were kindly asking here on the list where to find a written DVB-API v5 documentation, but nobody of the dvb driver community was answering. http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@vger.kernel.org/msg01350.html http://www.mail-archive.com/linux-media@vger.kernel.org/msg01300.html Does that mean that: - dvb developers are currently not interested in application developers integrating new DVB-API v5? or.. - no dvb developer reading that list knows something about documentation? or.. - does it simply not exist, so who is working on that api documentation stuff? The offical documentation found on linuxtv.org is outdated and already 5 years old, and describes only api v3. See http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/linux-dvb-api-1.0.0.pdf Please read also the announcements on linuxtv: http://www.linuxtv.org/news.php?entry=2008-09-23.mchehab [quote] Some improvements were proposed by the LinuxTV developers, in order to improve the S2API, including: ... * Update DVB API documentation to reflect the API changes;" [/quote] But also this statement is already now five months old, so i guess documentation should be finished meanwhile or at least started and usable/redistributable.. Is it possible to get some information on that topic? -Winfried
