Hi Uwe,
Sorry, I wrote this when I was away from my computer and so I couldn't test
it.
Our documentation is clearly wrong then. However, what you *can* do is
take
the dtype from a known VideoNode table and then compare using this.
known_dtype = f.root.path_to_a_video_node.dtype
bar = filter(x.dtype == known_dtype for x in f.walkNodes('/', 'Table'))
Note that in your file your file you could create an empty table with the
VideoNode
description at a specific location just so that you can read out this dtype.
Be Well
Anthony
