So I propose that VDR should always tune to a channel that is requested, get the current CA value from the data stream (and not from the channels.conf) and then decide if the channel can be shown/recorded. Does that sound like a good solution? Any obvious drawbacks?
@Klaus: is there any chance of integrating this modification in an upcoming version of VDR?
With the new CAM handling I will most likely make it so that channels are skipped only when the user zaps up/down. If a channel is selected explicitly (either by selecting from the Channels menu or by entering the channel number - or any other direct selection) it will always switch to the transponder to get the current CA status.
Even though it looks like this topic has not raised much interest, I think it is important and really should be addressed. VDR has failed recording periodically scheduled programs many times here because the program transmitted after the recording was encrypted. So the next scheduled recording the following day was not started because the channel was marked encrypted in the channels.conf. And VDR mainly being a "video recorder" this really is a serious bug.
I'll look into this one, too.
