[vdr] Conax CAM:s and multiple streams..

2007-09-21 Thread Markus Ingalsuo
Hi!

I'm looking for Conax CAM:s that support more than two simultaneous 
streams. I have a 'Dual CA Conax & Irdeto' which only supports watching 
two channels at a time and I need four or more. Has someone allready 
done some documentation on CAM:s somewhere? If not, I could document 
your experiences and share the information.

Sincerely

Markus Ingalsuo

I have Conax 4.00e that can decrypt at least two streams. Cannot test 
now how many actually because I've switched to VDR 1.5.9 and now it only 
supports one stream with this CA, previously with VDR 1.4.7 it could 
handle at least two. Anyone know how to bypass this limitation?

may be the logs in syslog from rotor plugin will help to you. For this you need 
to use this path

[vdr] [Wishlist] Loggingsection in the PLUGIN.html

2007-09-21 Thread Torsten Kunkel
Hi Klaus,

I noticed there isn't any wird about the loggingmechanism in the
plugin.html, so you have to search through the existing code in order to
see how to use it.
Maybe this should be added.
Shure, it's not very important, but because there is a common
loggingmechanism, it should receive one or two sentences :)
Maybe something like (just an idea):
-
If the plugin should print logmessages you can use dsyslog, isyslog or
esyslog.

   dsyslog prints the logmessage only if the loglevel of vdr is set to
the level DEBUG.
   isyslog prints the logmessage only if the loglevel of vdr is set to
the level INFO.
   esyslog always prints the logmessage.

The output of this log is the syslog of the system vdr is running on. The
logmessage can be formatted like printf.
Note:
The logmessage will be given as provided, the pluginname will not
automatically be added, so make shure your logmessages are obvious
enough.
-

Greetings

Torsten

This was possible in 1.4.x by fixing the CA id to the specific card 
instead of B00. VDR would just try to use the card wihout caring about 
CA stuff (if you had B00 it would not let you access multiple streams).

I'm not sure how the same could be achieved with 1.5.x though.

But in general the implementation in 1.5.x is now much better because 
you can have multiple CAM's of the same type but with different set of 
services on each. It's just that Conax CAMs don't respond to the 
standard way of asking how many streams it can decrypt simultaneosly I 
guess..

Re: [vdr] Rotor plugin crashing with valid data in diseqc.conf

Applied the patch and started with the problem conf. Not much help. Only
mention I found of any problem was in the syslog:

The Weatherng plugin, thoug showing the same error, seems ok.
