Dear all,

I wanted to discuss this as well to make sure that my next submissions
are in line with your policy, but you were faster ;-)

Thus wrote Maynard, Chris (Christopher.Maynard@xxxxxxxxx):

What problem can occur with ENC_NA here?

My assumption was that ENC_BIG_ENDIAN/_LITTLE_ENDIAN is only applicable
to multi-byte numeric values, i.e. FT_(U)INT16/32/64. For FT_(U)INT8 and
FT_BYTES, FT_STRING etc., I used ENC_NA.

Anders' assumption is correct: all multi-byte values in DVB-CI are big
endian.

Best regards,
