TVheadend ( DVBapi ) + oscam channel descrambling superslow

Hello ,

I switched from linux receiver to tvheadend. In the past I used dvbapi to communicate between oscam server and client which worked perfectly.

I turned on dvbapi in the headend the tvh settings and after some tweaking it connects to oscam server which is the same device.

tvheadend 4.1-1797~g2aa055d settings:
OSCam new pc-nodmx (rev >= 10389)
/tmp/camd.socket

OSCam r11221 settings:
boxtype : pc-nodmx
pmt mode : 0
request mode 0 :

au : 1

But zapping with this setting is nearly impossible , sometimes it takes 20 sec to watch a channel.

I can't see any issues in the debug file

If I'm using newcamd instead everything works fine.

Anyone using this kind of setup and will share experience?

best regards, sharky

Late response, but I only started using OSCAM yesterday. Here what worked for me and is reasonably quick:

Excerpt of oscam.conf:

[dvbapi]
enabled = 1
au = 1
pmt_mode = 4
user = user1
boxtype = pc
listen_port = 9090

TVHeadend settings (Configuration -> CA)

Mode: OSCam net protocol (rev >= 10389)
Camd.socket filename / IP Address (TCP mode): 127.0.0.1
Listen / Connect port: 9090

Thanks for sharing your settings. Working fine.
