Yes, CCCam script is the same as OpenPLI's and is very easy for a skinner to use a converter that reads the cam name from there, same goes with OpenPLI's oscam startscript. This is the easiest and fastest way for any skinner to read the softcam version and softcam name.
So, why should we make things complicated when a simple change in the description line in the current openATV oscam/ncam startscript will provide all the necessary info for the skinner without many modifications?
Let's say that I write a converter that will run the /etc/init.d/softcam version command and append it as text. Why should things be so complicated, commands are very CPU consuming, plus the converter should read the current running softcam everytime it changes by the user.
Reading simply from the startscript is effective and fast and ensures compatibility. I don't think it's that hard to be done from your side!
