Hi, I'm having trouble using the firedtv driver to watch scrambled channels using a ca-module. Here's my setup: I have a firedtv c/ci tuner with an irdeto cam, and am running Fedora 10 with a 2.6.29.1 kernel. In general I have no problems with FTA channels, but scrambled channels do not always work. I've tested my setup on a macbook in mac osx using eyetv, and here I can watch scrambled channels without any problems, so I doubt my problems are hardware related. I have tried to track down the problem using various dvb-apps, and the app I've had the best results with is gnutv from dvb-apps. If I try to tune to a scrambled channel I get the following: [root@hp-laptop gnutv]# ./gnutv -channels ./channels.conf -out file test.mpg "3+" CAM Application type: 01 CAM Application manufacturer: cafe CAM Manufacturer code: babe CAM Menu string: Irdeto Access CAM supports the following ca system ids: Using frontend "FireDTV C/CI", type DVB-C status SCVYL | signal ff00 | snr 2525 | ber 000000be | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK and then it hangs. But if I kill the process and try again it works and I get: [root@hp-laptop gnutv]# ./gnutv -channels ./channels.conf -out file test.mpg "3+" CAM Application type: 01 CAM Application manufacturer: cafe CAM Manufacturer code: babe CAM Menu string: Irdeto Access CAM supports the following ca system ids: Using frontend "FireDTV C/CI", type DVB-C status SCVYL | signal ff00 | snr 2525 | ber 00000082 | unc 00000000 | FE_HAS_LOCK Received new PMT - sending to CAM... So I need to "tune" the channel twice for it to work. After this first time it keeps working even if I stop gnutv and start it again, as long as I want to watch the same channel. As soon as try to watch a different channel I again need to "tune" it twice before it works. Well that's not completely true. Because after playing around with several different channels it appears there might be a pattern. If I have been able to successfully watch a scrambled channel by tuning it twice as described above then I can watch all channels in the mux without having to tune twice again. The problem only appears again when I try to watch a channel in a different mux. I hope that some of you can make some sense of my problem. Please let me know if I can provide any additional information. /Johs -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
