Informational Responses
Informational responses contain data requested of the control server and start with 2xx.
| 200 | The control server sign-in message - conveys TSReader version number when first connecting. |
| 201 | Responses to the HELP or ? command |
| 202 | Responses to the PROGRAM command without parameters. Data sent is the 5-digital decimal program number followed by either the short SDT channel name for DVB muxes or the Service Name from the TCVT for ATSC muxes. This data is repeated for each channel defined in the PAT or created with the manual channel feature. The currently selected program (if any) is indicated by an asterix at the end of the line. |
| 203 | Responses to the SOURCE command without parameters. TSReader sends the names of the sources with the currently selected source indicated by an asterix at the end of the line. |
| 204 | Responses to the SETVLC command without parameters. TSReader sends the VLC configuration number along with the description. |
| 205 | Further responses to the SETVLC command without parameters. TSReader sends the VLC command for the configuration previously sent with a 204 response. |
| 206 | Responses to the AUDIO command without parameters |
| 207 | Responses to the RECORD command without parameters |
| 208 | Responses to the INFO command |
| 209 | Responses to the PIDS command |
| 210 | Responses to the SETTING command without paramters |
