Check whether an entity supports a capability

Request

To check whether an entity supports a specific capability, send a GET request to the appropriate endpoint for the entity:

In the response body, for each entity that is returned, there will be a clientControls block that contains a true or false value for each of the configured capabilities.

For example:

        ...
        "clientControls": {
          "FFWD": false,
          "SO": false,
          "HD": true,
          "UHD": true,
          "NETFLIX": true,
          "AMAZON": true,
          "PVR": true,
          "TVOD": true,
          "NPVR": false
        },
        ...
