Ups! :)
My posting went to wrong place...sorry
Hi!
Sometimes when I switch channels I get error saying that I don't have access to that channel, even when I actually have. That warning message leaves to screen pretty annoying so that channel sees trough below so I have to close it manually pressing Menu or Back button.
So what I really would like to have is an option to CICAM setup menu where user can choose like "CAM messages: Show, Ignore, Hide 5s, Hide 10s, Hide 20s" (that last like an option to choose delay seconds after warning message disappears automaticly) Is this possible?
This is quite common error that I get and it got nothing to do with VDR's behavior since I get also same messages with another Pace Xsat DVB-C digibox.

ps: I forget to mention that my earlier DD2.0/DD5.1 problems are all gone with vdr-1.3.23. From vdr-1.3.18 to vdr-1.3.22 DD2.0 didn't work at all, now everytime! Nice work! :)
Mikko, Yes, this is a CAM related issue.
I have the same problem (Viaccess Red v4.84) If you want a quick fix, you can add the following line which will disable all CAM messages / menus :
--- vdr-1.3.20-orig/ci.c 2004-07-17 16:30:17.000000000 +0200 +++ vdr-1.3.20/ci.c 2005-02-08 19:48:09.000000000 +0100 @@ -1132,6 +1132,7 @@
cCiMenu *cCiMMI::Menu(bool Clear) { + Clear = true; if (Clear) fetchedMenu = NULL; else if (menu) {
It's not a brilliant solution but it's an easy fix until someone fixes it better along the lines of your suggestion, but I doubt it will happen. Not too many seem to have this problem.

I second that request. It happens very rarely in my setup but since I use VDR exclusively for recording (no TV attached), I am not usually around to hit the OK button.
I have "solved" the problem by having a tiny perl script tail the vdr logfile. When it sees "CAM: Menu" (or whatever the specific error message is), the script runs "svdrpsend.pl HITK OK".
It works great but an automated way would of course be preferable.
