Its Normal to work with FTA channels

Scrambled need CI attached to tuner.

Is it cam initialised in TVH you must see supported CAID's

Matt Birn

the CI is included i the tuner and it is working. as is wrote: "With the help of a friend i build TVH on latest source from git and we checked that DD CI and CA works on the same machine/OS (tested with Astra Cesbo App)"

But we could not figure out what to do to get a descrambled signal in TVH. Always the same error

Enable only working CAID
Use stream filter to limit only this CAID

Matt Birn

ok, any advice how to doo it?

What is CAID supported by your CARD?

Matt Birn

The card is a black Astra HD02.

I checked the card with the CAM (AlphaCrypt light r.2.2) befor in my TV. There was no problem what so ever watching the privat HD channels. I guess that means that the card is supporting all CAID´s
<<

Saen Acro

Card is usually support only one CAID, Cam Module support more.

Idea is to filter caid's from stream to allow only this one equal card.

I guess your card CAID is 1843 (NagraVision)

Matt Birn

i did it as you suggest. but no change. you cann check the screenshot. still getting message ' Invalid start code a5:6c:d2'

Strange error when try to descramble descrambled content

----
P.S.
Change in title, from "Private" to "Encrypted"

Matt Birn

hey there,

with the help of very expirienced friend, we tried everything to find the eror. but nothing helped.

we made debug.log file with --trace linuxdvb,ddci,en50221,dvbcam

we tried different caids and so on.

we tested the hardware on a TV and on a windows system. everything works fine.

maybe one of you can find the error we have overseen.

Wrong.

"adapter_alloc" is needed for minisatip - but NOT for TVH.

TVH has support for SINGLE CI - try the other slot. Sometimes it helps.

Bullshit.

The right settings are:

service limit = 0
CAID selection: ALL CAIDS

Believe me. IT WILL NOT WORK !

It is possible to get tvh up and running with DDs Twin CI: BUT TVH

will producee CountCounter Errors over and over.

Besides it will only

decode ONE channel simultanously. And TVH does not decode CI+ channels.

Use "the other solution": no errors - MTD - CI+ channels.

Send pm.

Explain your logic to flood CAM with inposible to be descrambled ECM's?

Why do you think that your solution solves the problem ? Why is flooding

the CAM a problem ?

Your "Solution" did not work - as stated by threadstarter.

Logic ?

Have you tested "CAID filter list" is working as expected ? Have you

tested "first hit" / "last hit" is working as expected ?

No ?

CAID Filterlistmay be used if system is up and running. Finetuning IF AND ONLY IF there artefacts.

Saen Acro

Great logic, to send x*y ecm's to card with work on less then 4mhz,
and cannot process more then 2 ecm's (excepr on pro CAM) to card,

with can descrable only one type of ECM's.

With this type of logic, you need super computer to calculate sum of 1+1
