Can you report the ATIP code for that Auchan CD-RW device?

To answer your question about dye types: organic dye type only applies to CD-R disks. CD-RW disks use a different technology (phase-change alloy layer), which is why the information is not shown.
However, thanks for your report as it highlighted some bugs/shortcomings in the current code wrt reporting and detecting DVD-R devices. I'll push a patch on github, feel free to build from the main branch and test.

The orange forum likes to get money for recent information.
The information for this media may not be correct.
