hi,
perhaps it is just me, but I have some problems with recordings from encrypted channels...
When there is no valid EMM received to the card, it naturally does not show the channel. My problem is that when in live viewing, there is just the xine-originated "No Signal" text on the screen, and everything works fine. When the EMM arrives, the card starts decrypting and the channel appears.
But: When there is a timed recording, vdr tries to get data by restarting, which is naturally the wrong way to try to receive an EMM from the cable...
Naturally, when there is a valid EMM already on the card, there are no problems in either case, but decrypting starts immediately.
VDR doesn't "try to get data by restarting". When a recording is active, and there is no data received for a certain time, VDR assumes that there is something wrong with the driver/firmware/whatever and initiates a reload of the driver (actually the surrounding wrapper script is supposed to do this, so VDR just exists with a specific return value).
When VDR is started, it waits until all CAMs are ready, so that any timer for an encrypted channel could start immediately.
