Command: [ format: prepare:{format} ] output is not as expected, parsing miss

[shinsuny]

similar to

36

38

※ format token is not parsed so can not use [ format: confirm:{token} ]

Hey @sarveshwar-singh I can't find the response structure for this command in the documentation. Please can you provide the response to 'format: prepare'? Is it XML again?

IIRC it's just a string which is the "password" to format the disk

Response = "216 format ready xxxxxx

" xxxxxx = string of length 6

※Sorry for being late to reply. :(

Thanks!

There's no colon so my other pr still won't work. Will update later. What kind of protocol is this!

[shinsuny]

Thanks !!

As per my understanding format is 2 step process.

1. Preparation => [ format: prepare: exFAT/HFS+ ] => {token}
2. Actual Format => [ format: confirm: {token} ]

Yep we should be able to add a function for this command in hyperdeck.js which will handle the verification automatically too

@sarveshwar-singh I just updated https://github.com/LA1TV/Hyperdeck-JS-Lib/pull/42 which also now has a format() method. Please could you give it a try?

[shinsuny]

Due to working environment restrictions i am not able to test it, but it look good in code. :)
