Hi.
Support for CAM seems to be nowadays one of the top requested features for the iptv plugin. I guess that encrypted streams are becoming more popular in the iptv world altogether.
It turns out that implementing CAM support to iptv is quite tricky. One option would be to implement support for external CAM module such as the Hauppauge WinTV-CI USB. These devices seem to be unsupported in linux so a driver would have to be written first.
I've also thought about using the CAM of an existing DVB card to do the decryption of iptv streams, but to the best of my current knowledge it is impossible to use a CAM of a certain device to decrypt streams that are not received by the same device. (Someone correct me if I'm mistaken).
Can anyone think of any other alternatives?
Got me stumped - but I watch this thread with great interest!!
