[vlc-devel] Fwd: commit: Do not ignore teletext initial page (close #1997). (Laurent Aimar )

[Derk-Jan Hartman]

Hi Michael,

We are having a discussion with about the sample below.
Apparently zvbi falls back to it's default G0

Is there an easy way to read out all the place where G0 can be  
specified, so that i can verify if it is the source that is simply  
Level1, or that i is zvbi that is missing one of the many places where  
G0 can be specified ?

If i read the spec correctly, G0 can be specified in any of the  
following packets:

X/28/0 format1
X/28/1
X/28/4
M/29/0
M/29/1
M/29/4

does zvbi support all this ?

DJ
