CI Smartcard Reader / Hardware CAM

Christian Kneissl

I have the following problem:
After updating TVHeadend from 4.2.6 to 4.2.8 on my Synology NAS, the integrated CI Smartcard-Reader of my TechnoTrend TT-connect CT-3650CI USB-Tuner is no longer listed under the TV Adapters, where it was before as /dev/dvb/adapter0/ca0 (see attached jpg).

And I am not longer able to view encrypted TV channels, unencrypted channels are working as before.

In the filesystem I can still see the device:

/dev/dvb/adapter0# ls ca0 demux0 dvr0 frontend0 frontend1 net0

Various reboots and restarts didn't help.

Is there a solution, or has there been a change in handling the CAMs?

EDIT: We found out, that this was because of the missing "--enable-liben50221" option. Option enabled and now everything is fine!

Here you are.
As I already wrote above in the edit, it might be ab issue because of the missing "--enable-liben50221" option.

I am already in contact with Martin Walter about that.

It's normal not to have it working.
